How much do you end up spending on Botox and fillers per year

[Jodiewa]

I am 45 and beginning to look like hell. I know the price of Botox per thing but don’t know how much it ends up costing per year. How much do you end up sending year in year out? I am a Londoner. Thanks.

So many pointless replies to this thread. Akin to

My Thread 'Mumsnet what are your best weight loss tips? I've put quite a bit on recently?'

MN users 'I've never been fat so I don't know'
'It doesn't matter if one puts on weight '
'I dunno. I'm thin'
'Ugh! Why you trying to lose weight?! Be happy with your fatness!'

Interesting thread op! I have those lines between eye brows I'd like to address. It's not as expensive as I thought actually...

Although it's the red lines around my nose I'd like to tackle first!

I’m genuinely surprised that people in their 30’s have Botox, it seems so young to me!

Because it can be preventative as well. Google twin studies of Botox - one twin has Botox four years and the other does not. Even when it wears off there is a noticeable difference, because the skin has not been able to crease.

500 a year on botox. Love it. Not frozen faced ar all. Everyone comments on how healthy I look after. I am healthy, walk, eat well, etc etc but nobody notices until I have botox.
Ultimately though I like what's looking back at me in the mirror. And yes before anyone comments on self love nurturing the mind etc I do have a PhD and love myself but also love the effect of botox.

Who doesn't want to look better, given the choice?

Good luck with your decision.

Ja ha atcommeng on internalised patriarchy
I don't shave my legs or underarms.

But hey does every woman who dyes her roots, or shaves her legs or indeed does ANYTHING apart from leaving her self to nature also deserve to be shamed.

I'd also like the 'shamers' to answer this. If you could pay 500 a year you be instantly your ideal weight, would you?

Theres your answer.

Sold my house my car and my grandmother and went homeless so that I could maintain my face. Worth every penny.

Except there are health benefits to being slim. Pretty sure the same can’t be said of pumping your waxy face full of shit.

Well that's a shite rather unintelligent answer. No benifits to being slim.if you haven't earned it so to speak. It doesn't warrant you anything other than a starting place. A starting place without the work needed from internal organs etc.

£0

But I spend plenty on lotions and potions

As a non-Botox user I'm glad I got drawn to this thread. Learning so much! Might end up using it for my tooth- grinding. the I may even be convinced to go further - I obviously had some misconceptions and took some celebrities with bad facelifts as having had Botox.

I think much of bad celebrity work is overdone filler (Madonna and her pillow face phase, k price’s lips etc) but again, done cleverly, it looks awesome (check the before / after pix of the Phi Clinic).
If there was somerhing reliable to deal with hollow eyes (bony sockets) I’d do it in a flash

92% of cosmetic surgeries in this country are performed on women.

Personally I think we should all be looking as angry and frowny and tired and haggard as possible, it's shit that there is so much pressure on women to spend so much money and risking their health making themselves look 'acceptable'. And that applies to everything from major surgery to dying your hair/having your nails done/removing your body hair. Concentrate on the stuff that is good for your body and mind like exercise and eating well, not the things that can cause harm.

My almost 21 year old Brice has had it done a few times and describes it as "just a bit" but I think it's fairly obvious and looks awful tbh.

Neice not Brice

How does the examples you give cause harm? Hair cuts? Painted nails? Body hair removal? All cause harm. How?

Nobody mentioned major surgery, botox is not major surgery.

Also why are you assuming that women who do the ' harmful" things you mention don't also concentrate on good diet and exercise etc.

Stop frowning! Saves you a fortune 😂 my much younger friend asked me if I had Botox because I have a smooth forehead at 37 - I just try to stay happy and not frown. She frowns a lot and is thinking of Botox. Many aspects of her life (not just her forehead) would be improved if she concentrated on happiness rather than what she doesn’t like about herself.

0 and I'm 69. Not afraid of ageing.

Well actually Botox does help you to stop frowning, which is why the lines, when they return, are usually much lighter. The problem is, you see, that if you have experiences like heartbreak, divorce, bereavement, pregnancy loss and the rest of it, you kind of don't realise that you're making a sad face all the time and it isn't quite as simple as "concentrate on happiness".

About £1,000. Botox three times a year, fillers (gentle, natural, not duck face) once a year.

Well as you'd know if you'd read the thread you're wrong.
Botox relaxes the muscles so therefore is very good to help with tension headaches and jaw clenching.

I got Botox to deal with the fact that I have a perpetual frown due to squinting as I'm short sighted and it really helped with my headaches.
It's so effective in fact it can be prescribed by the nhs.

Hair cuts? Painted nails? Body hair removal? All cause harm. How?

I didn't say haircuts , I said hair dye, lots of people react to it and bleaching damages the hair and in extreme cases it can break or fall out. Gel nails can cause fungal infections, and hair removal makes folliculitis more common.

Your hair is dead anyway. If you can cut it without hurting yourself, then I'm pretty sure that breaking it by dyeing it isn't going to hurt you either. You can try likening injecting poison into your body to 'maybe getting a fungal infection' or an increased risk of follicilitis if you like, but it doesn't really sound like it's on the same scale to me. Personally I'd never have gel nails because I don't like them, and in 35 years of shaving my legs I've never had folliculitis.

Looks like Botox can have some pretty nasty side-effects if you're unlucky. here

But surely this is true of most things people do for enjoyment. There's a slight risk to pretty much anything.

You can't live your life not doing things because it gives you a very small chance of developing a fungal infections.
No one would ever go swimming.
