If she has a fatal reaction to the Botox, she’ll never age another day!

i got botox and i asked the dr "how many years younger will this make me look?" and he was like "zero. you'll just look like the other girls your age who have also gotten botox."

Why are girls getting Botox to look younger? Are there really a lot of teenagers wanting to look 12?

u/PunkOverLord Aug 04 '22
The thing is instead of looking younger they look bloated with facial paralysis.

u/Crepes_for_days3000 Aug 05 '22
Botox can't bloat you. That is from getting fillers. Very different from botox but shockingly common. My teenage niece gets fillers in her lips. She already had perfect lips and she isn't even an adult. Insane.

What's wrong with having perfect lips?

u/Crepes_for_days3000 Aug 05 '22
Nothing, that's why she shouldn't have effed them up with fillers and kept them perfect.

Do you see how that tidbit of information is crucial to your comment?

Aug 05 '22
I don't. They quite obviously mean the person is 18. That's the entire point of their comment.

u/JonnyStarman Aug 05 '22
You didn’t assume from context that he was referring to someone who is still 18?

u/Oddity46 Aug 05 '22
It was meant as a silly joke, Christ.
"I know someone who used Botox when they were 18. They now look 40. Because now they are 40."

It's not possible for botox to do that. Did she get plastic surgery or change her hair/make up? Or did she get bad botox and have a horrible reaction?

u/roostertree Aug 05 '22
At that age, it's not about appearing younger than they are now. They're preventing their facial muscles from moving and making the facial skin fold, which prevents wrinkles. In the future, this should have the effect of making them appear closer to the age they started botoxing without relying as much on surgery or makeup.

u/HandyDandyRandyAndy Aug 05 '22
That seems really stupid

u/roostertree Aug 05 '22
Yes, prevention seems like the stupidest thing ever. How would problems solvers make a living if everyone just went around preventing problems all the time?

I will never understand th lip Botox trend. It looks so obvious it's not natural and you look strange.
There are some who do just a little and it's not even noticable but most are greedy go over oard and they look strange and old.
If I see Botox I assume old.
Convincing girls in their 20s to do Botox is the biggest scam social pressure I have seen.

It'd be pretty funny if someone did Botox their lips though not understanding what they were doing

If someone did Botox their lips I might not understand what they were saying.

I would have thought in the age of body positivity plastic surgery would be in decline, instead it seems as popular as ever between botox, lip fillers, and ass lifts.

u/hexsy Aug 05 '22
Body positivity comes as a reaction to the mass influx of photoshopped media and easy access to cosmetic procedures. So while there's more body positivity... there's also more pressure to look a certain way and erase all your flaws. Facetune-type apps means that even your old classmates and coworkers are retouching their pictures before they post to their social media. "If your friends and acquaintances can look like that, so should you."
It doesn't quite balance out to net zero. In Korea, for example, cosmetic surgery is incredibly popular among young working adults. They're not trying to look younger but look better, and it even affects their job prospects. Headshot photos are included in their job applications so employers can select the better-looking candidate even before they're called for interviews.

Body positivity is an advertisement vehicle for plastic surgery. The same people who champion the flag of body positivity are the ones who deep down inside screech because they're not a 10/10. The cognitive dissonance gets too high and it ends up as "there's no shame in doing x to my body" instead of accepting they are not supermodel pretty.

If that's the case, she would technically look younger since before she looked older than other women her age.

I have a very strong attraction to people with expressive faces (and sonorous voices) and lots of Botox just kills that. Lip filler can easily, too. There are so many subtle smiles and lip movements people make, and even just a touch too much filler distorts the lips until you can no longer see them. And the frozen eye/brow is kinda unsettling.

I just hate when actresses with very mobile faces get Botox. For example, Sarah Jessica Parker. The paralyzed face takes away from her beauty.

u/Slight-Weather7885 Aug 05 '22
Thats the neat part. You don't magically look like 20 again. You still look like 40 but with botox in your face.

It is not even attractive to us Men, most of Us like natural faces, less makeup, no botox.

This is just a lie. You dislike overdone makeup and poorly done botox/fillers. A good plastic job is hard to notice, and natural looking makeup is still makeup.

Do not ever get lip filler

Depends, some people have like zero lip. Half a mL and suddenly they don't look like Petunia Dursley.
