    There's a classic survivorship bias where people think all Botox is bad because we always see the obvious gaffs and just assume that good Botox is natural. Botox is a lot more common than people think, it's usually just a touch-up

    That being said. It puts me off how often you see celebrities with botched jobs. You would think that with all the resources at their disposal they would get the best. And if the best cant do it at least 90% of the time there's no way you're putting me under the needle of whoever I can afford.

    Not that I really have a strong desire to get Botox right now, but I don't know who I'll be in the future.

    The thing about plastic surgery is that even if it's well-done, it doesn't last very long. A person' face continues to change, sometimes even more rapidly than would otherwise have happened because of all the damage and trauma caused by the surgery itself. So when you see someone with "good" plastic surgery, you've really just captured them at that brief moment in time before it all goes to shit.

      Do guys get Botox? I’ll admit at my mid 40s, I look like I’m in my mid 40s. I’m too lazy to pursue getting Botox but I like the mental fantasy of magically looking 10 years younger.

      My mom stopped coloring her hair as soon as they started graying, because she wants to "look her age". Take from that what you want.

        Body dysmorphia due to yes-men around you and the plastic surgeon doing what customer wants.

          Everything's a toxin at a high enough dosage. And even at that dosage they can still be therapeutic. See: chemotherapy, as an extreme example.

          With botox specifically, it has applications outside of just making lizard-faces. Off the top of my head, it's used as a treatment for migraines by injecting it into the back of the scalp - any swelling/filling effect it has is concealed by the hair anyway, unless the patient is bald.

          Stop there with the excuses, it's get's used because it's high enough dose to cause harm.

              I personally would rather not be 45 and look like a 28 year old lizard, but that's just me

                What confuses me most is calling women of botox-using age "girls".

                  She's an actual monster. I think it's more than Botox though. Prob fillers and surgery were on the roadmap to the Frankenstein we see today

                    Before is his (mostly) natural face.

                    After looks like he's wearing a mask of himself over his own face

                      A lot of people use "boys" and "girls" to refer to men and women of all ages.

                        cheap, too. it's just processed Clostridium botulinum poison; you can brew that in large vats for pennies on the dose. In some cases, it's cheaper to make than pills.

                        It might be cheap to make, but its absolutely not a cheap procedure for any of the medical applications I know of. The drug itself is around 1k for the low end of the typical therapeutic dose, and a lot of insurances (if you're in the US) want you to jump through hoops to pay for it.
