I got smartlipo on my stomach after losing 75 pounds because I had weird little fat pockets all over my belly. It looked amazing for one (1) summer and then I had two abdominal surgeries in 3 months and now it's janky again.

I get xeomin in my glabellar mostly because they give me headaches but also a lil bit because all my squinting has given me a deep crease and it makes that go away.

And I smoke too much weed from my bong and now I have slight smoker's lines lmao so I got a lil HLA in my upper lip last week to fill them in.

I think anyone should be free to get some work done without judgment but I also think you should be super open about it if you're in a position where young girls especially could be looking up to you. Good for Sofia

OH! I also started doing gua sha on my face 2 weeks ago because my friend got restylane and we had the same complaints about our faces dropping now that we're older. I committed to doing it daily for 4 months and we could compare results between the two and see if her injections were worth it. I just took some comparison photos yesterday and the difference in my jawline is stark. I come from a long line of jowled women and I have the shadow of a jawline for the first time in more than a decade.

Do you follow a specific gua sha tutorial/technique? I bought one ages ago but have yet to use it

[lone_concertina]

Not particularly, I just kind of zone out watching TV or listening to music/a book while I do it and try to do the same amount on each side, going from neck to jawline to cheeks to undereyes to brows to forehead. From what I read, the most important thing is going bottom to top, and I just experimented with what side feels best in each spot. I think I was doing too much pressure at first because it made my face really tender when you really just need a gentle smoothing across the skin.

This anti-aging stuff is making me so sad. It’s a race that can’t be won; because aging is living. It’s a literally a part of life. I hate that society is pushing these dangerous and life-threatening procedures for us… to look like we haven’t lived. It’s fucked up.

[automaticpeople]

Tbf though, people know they will still age. They just want to age better.

[insomniachobs]

That's the fucked up part though... to age "better" is apparently to look like you haven't aged at all. (She says, like she's not completely guilty herself of saying people have aged well based on looks)

[mspopstar]

And yet the term most used is “anti-aging”. Not “better-aging”. I think the aging better term is an excuse that covers the real goal: to look like you haven’t aged at all, until you die.

I really like that angle from writer Jessica Defino:

Anti-aging is the beauty industry’s most enduring promise and most lucrative marketing claim. In the United States, anti-aging alone is a nearly $5 billion dollar sector. So there’s a lot of money to be made there

Plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures is such a nuanced decision. I don’t think there is anything wrong with someone who wants to alter or improve their appearance to feel better about themselves. However, I feel bad for the people who have deeper self image issues, and think surgery will fix everything. You will still be you after the surgery. I knew a lady who got gastric bypass, she had blamed all of her issues on her weight. She felt that everything “bad” that happened or people didn’t like her was because she was overweight. After the surgery, she couldn’t understand why some people still didn’t like her, and it had nothing to do with her weight, people didn’t like her because she was a toxic person, and no surgery can fix that.

I don't think it would make a difference if you're a POS few would ever like anyway, but a lot of people who've lost large amounts of weight (whether naturally or surgically) have talked about the vast difference in how much better they're treated by people after. It's not going to fix your feelings, but it does go a long way to making people like you more and treat you better. Which is very fucked up, because waist size shouldn't make a blind bit of difference to that, but here we are.

And still a double edged sword because how the hell do you trust anyone knowing their treatment of you is dependent on your waist size

[delleve]

Yeah I lost 60 or so pounds in a few months (because I was sick) and the way people treated me was dramatically different. Even people who knew I was sick and going thru the worst time of my life only peppily congratulated me on the weight loss. It honestly disgusted me and made me think of people very differently.

I'm doing better now and have gained the weight back and I'm once again treated poorly or generally ignored by those same people. It's wild. Taught me a lot about people I thought were my friends though for better or for worse. 🫠

[umilicious]

I lost 40 lbs. because of stress, smoking, anxiety, and depression. I looked “great” back then because I was wasting away. When people asked how I did it, I would be honest (esp. about the mental health part) and then people would still tell me to keep it up. My mom doesn’t realize that’s why I don’t want to go to family parties anymore.

I've done botox for teeth grinding and it's shockingly fast and easy (like less than a minute in and out??), but because of where it's injected it doesn't change how I look so maybe it would be different if it affected the face/body in a different way idk.

[dejatrue]

[malidocious]

I am intrigued by this Botox for teeth grinding. I have gone through so many mouth guards!!

[pciam]

My right TMJ disc slipped out of joint (though doesn't cause lockjaw) which has caused a lot of muscular pain over the years. And grinding my teeth at night exacerbates it. I tried everything (several splints, massage/physical therapy, oral surgeons visits, etc). Nothing helped. I started getting botox years ago and it was literally like a god-send. It has helped my pain SO much.

Unfortunately health insurance doesn't cover the price (some have started covering Botox for migraines now) but the price for me has been worth it due to the pain relief, which has given me back a lot of my life!

Some people are worried that it will impact their appearance, but it really hasn't for me. Probably because my jaw was too bulky anyway from constant grinding and spasming.

[josiefier]

I appreciate this trend of celebrity women talking about their surgeries

[yankeesarelove]

agreed! that's all we want- transparency. no one is saying for them to not get procedures done but when they lie and say its japanese potatoes or squats? come ON. its giving really young people a complex when there is no need to.

[bostongirl2003]

I can't believe you doubt the authenticity of Japanese potatoes. Unbelievable.
