Im not quite ready for it just yet, welll actually I could do with a bit of ironing out, however I like a few lines. My granny who has been an inspiration to me has got a face like a prune and has done since I can remember and as she says every line has a story and she has some cracking stories. SO do I want to be smooth forheaded unable to show any expression in my face or do I grow old gracefully?

So would have have a bit of help or full on surgery? and if so what would you have done? No penis extensions please Ethos .

And I am sure we can all remember the bride of Wildenstein; WARNING Not for the feint hearted!

nope.

its for insecure people.

Alexa

Hmm, depends entirely on the kind of image you want to give people...."I don't care if I look wrinkly,although I know I don't have to"
or
"Yup, I actually AM xx years of age...and yes, I know I don't look like it"...which seems to be the thing to do these days...

If you do go for botox, don't overdo it, a completely smooth forehead and a slack jaw just don't go together.
And having your eyebrows in your hairline...as in full on face lift...IMHO a big NO.

And no matter how much you spend on face cream etc. , nothing beats a bit of botox.
And you feel better when you look in the mirror in the morning.
And I don't think it has to do with insecurity, just with making life a little easier.

commander

how does less wrinkles make life easier?

Alexa

Simple, you don't need to think about them.

commander

i get it, but why would it bother you unless you are insecure? you are what you are after all.

Alexa

No, not necessarily insecure, but possibly a little vain.
And why not use the help that's available?
I am pretty sure our grandmothers would have if it was available then.

Alexa

Plus "you are what you are " is well and good. But, you don't have to be what you are anymore...you can be what you want. Your choice.

commander

spoken like an image consultant

i get your point.

Hello.Kitty

but I'd want to remain what I am... and like it.

I think if you can grow old gracefully, then it's a good thing to do. I'm not sure I'd want to turn heads when I'm 70... unless I could swipe at them with my brolly. Hmm...

No botox for me ... the lines on my face are a map of my life and, anyway, I don't have wrinkles - I have laughter lines

Blue Cat

not for me, what's the point in having a facing of a 30 year old and a neck of a 50 year old? your hands always give it away anyway

Bahtatboy

I really don't get this botox things. Christ, injecting toxin into your body.

MataHari

not to botox...

Alexa

Oh no, not when you are 70, but how about when you are in your 40's - 50's?
And growing old gracefully...why does that have to involve deep wrinkles? I can't see much grace in those.
See, the way I look at it, everything in balance is the thing to do.
But as I said, it all depends on what you think it right for you.
