Another personal appearance question

[amberpi]

Thinking about the "do you look older/younger" thread.

How many of you get regular botox, fillers, wear extensions, have had plastic surgery? Anyone brave enough to admit what they do?

I'll go out there and say I've been getting botox for about a decade. I did fillers once, and that was too expensive/hurt too much for me to do regularly.

. That is way to high of maintenance for my comfort the most I do is hi lite my hair once in a while.

I don't do any of those things. I also don't pluck my eyebrows, dye my hair, get mani/pedis or wear makeup. Ever.

And I'm often told that I look younger than I am. I don't know if that's true or not, and frankly, I don't care.

I used to highlight my hair but gave that up

I get Botox injections every 3 months for migraines. They've helped tremendously and they're covered by insurance, thank God. A nice smooth forehead is a happy side effect, but I feel like I've earned it after years of chronic pain!

I've never done anything to improve my appearance, but I probably should.

Have had reconstructive/plastic surgery twice.

Have had reconstructive/plastic surgery twice.

Was it a positive experience? I've got several friends that have had work done and they all feel so much happier afterwards.

If I had the extra money to spend, I would get some work done

I have a laundry list of things id like to change, but I could never do medical cosmetic surgery.

I do wear makeup occasionally get nails done. Used to be ALL THE TIME. My nail tech was like a long lost sister, but she went home to Vietnam for Christmas and decided she wanted to stay with her family.
I used to color my hair but when my hormones went crazy I lost a LoT of hair. I decided to not tempt fate and haven't colored it since things straightened out and it came back.

I had braces as an adult. I have highlights put into my hair, not to cover the gray but to make it less visible in my naturally dark hair.

I don't wear makeup any longer. I haven't done a thing to my eyebrows in ages.

I do not care if I look old or young. I feel 19 most of the time, and that's what matters to me.

I've thought many times about buying boobs, but could never do it. Would be nice

I feel for you! Glad it came back!

I lost a lot of hair while I was in the hospital and was/have been so tempted to get extensions, now I wear headbands pretty much all the time to keep those 2-3 inch little hairs under control. Any good ideas for the growing in phase?

That, and thinking of 2 friends in particular, are making me smile so big! How wonderful it is to be able to have that kind of transformation. So happy for you!

 

[Mirielle]

Thanks, AMBERPI!

my skin is young looking, but still would get some botox, but what I really want is to have a nice looking butt, right now I just have a long back with a crack at the bottom

I quit wearing makeup in my mid forties. Haven't missed it at all. Quit coloring my hair at 60 and am completely grey now. I am always complimented on the 'shades of grey' my hair is, lol. I don't think I have ever had a manicure, I keep my fingernails very very short. I do love a pedicure tho as my feet can get pretty raunchy looking without it.

Boobs I don't need help with. Mine was more ridiculous stuff like having ears altered and a nose job. Everyone tells me I have a cute nose though. I do think I have Dopey ears. If I wear a cap or visor I tuck them in!
As for my hair, I went through a stage of using hair ties, headbands, bobby pins, mousse, hair spray, hair gel in varying combinations to make it look normal.
Personally I also will use epsom salt in my hair once a week to get rid of oily buildup. I use my regular shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash. The last think I do is use plain epsom salt and rub in hair, on face, body to beat buildup and dead skin. After shower I lotion up. I find it makes my hair healthier and softer but it might be different for others.
