Botox
(slrpnk.net)
No successful Botox doctor is going to be this honest. It's bad for business.
the OP is a fairly well known stand up. this is a joke
The contract must have already been signed.
It's not a one-and-done treatment. You need to keep going back, so the doctor's incentivised to make sure you still want to come back.
Botox injections are used as a treatment for migraines sometimes, so it wouldn't be that weird for this conversation to happen in that context. (I know it's a joke)

I've never heard of a botox doctor before, I'm sure something like this has been said to patients by a ton of successful dermatologist and other doctors that can administer botox though
House of Fools S2E2:
JULIE: So, Vic, how much younger do you think I'll look?
VIC: Well, you won't look a lot younger, Julie, but you will look a lot more alert and surprised.
JULIE: Fabulous, because there's a new fishmonger in town and I want to look surprised and startled when he shows me his turbot.
I personally would rather not be 45 and look like a 28 year old lizard, but that's just me
Your lossssss

I know this is meant to be loss but also it’s vaguely the shape of a few sex toys I’ve seen

What about looking like a 50 year old lizard?
But think of all the time and energy you'll save having only one facial expression.
Hey, maybe some men are into women licking their own eyeballs.

Very funny joke about this in 28 Years Later.
Tap for spoiler
A soldier shows a kid (who has been on the island in quarantine) a picture of his (modern day Botox using) girlfriend on his phone.
The kid asks “what is wrong with your girlfriend?”
The soldier thinks nothing is wrong. “She’s beautiful what do you mean?”
The kid then tells a story about a woman who looked like that in his small village when she ate shellfish.
I was just telling my wife about this scene today. She had a woman at her work with massive fake tits today. Bigger than her body kind of huge. As she was telling me about her she said "who wants a plastic woman?"....the perfect segway for this scene.
Well now, fake tiddies, I'll allow it.
Can't believe people are so lazy, they are implanting water beds into their bodies.
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.
Most celebrities have gotten some type of Botox or filler, but don't expect it to make you look magically younger. Depending on your face, the doctor, and luck it can look you younger but realistically it'll make you look different
Yeah, that's a good way to describe it. You may look like someone who is in their 30s, but it's not going to turn back time and make you look exactly like you when you were in your 30s. It's more like makeup - you can look good, but you're going to be altering the superficial structure of your face to do it.
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.
Body dysmorphia due to yes-men around you and the plastic surgeon doing what customer wants.
If there’s anything other than simply “very damaged personalities,”I think it’s probably a sense that as celebrities they need to freeze time or even turn it back to stay competitive in their field. When cosmetic procedures work, it’s because doctors communicate the limits of what can be achieved while passing for natural, the patient accepts that, and the work is done well. If any of those pillars breaks, it looks bad. If any of them breaks for a celebrity, it goes viral.
How horrifying
I can't say who's better one is just shaved 🤷🏼♀️
Before is his (mostly) natural face.
After looks like he's wearing a mask of himself over his own face

Botox really can help you look younger - it's not magic though, it'll never take you back to your 20s, and if you go overboard or it's poorly done you'll wind up with the classic botox lizard skin look (which generally means don't cheap out & vet your clinic). For touchup work though, and combined with a good (and sane) skincare regime, it can get some very impressive results.
(Personally I don't do it, but family members that do have found it really helps with their dysphoria about aging so... there's that!)
classic botox lizard skin look (which generally means don't cheap out & vet your clinic)
I saw "lizard skin" and initially read that as "don't cheap out on your vet clinic".
Also, dont get it done at some shitty medi-spa clinic that shares a parking lot with a Jimmy Johns. Go to a real dermatologist, a good one.
Yes it costs more, but it is your face. Not a thing you really want to cheap out on.
Beware places offering botox that also sell stupid stuff like led masks, overpriced skincare from weird brands that YouTube influencers peddle. Dont get it done at the dentists office (yes, some do it), dont get it done at a salon or chiropractor.
Dermatogist. A good one.
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.
my advice, personally? if you're curious, get a Botox injection. it is temporary, exceedingly well-studied, and generally does not interact with any other precription medicine. If you don't like it, it will wear off, just don't get it again and you're gold.
however, do NOT get fillers done, because from what research has been coming out over the past few years, the general consensus is that fillers do not break down in the body, and merely migrate when the dermis loses tensity. you will almost certainly need to get them surgically removed, and that shit isn't as easy as just injecting it back out. Though, I understand that recent studies have opened up a method of using some new kind of radio wave mapping to determine where all the filler went so that they can actually suck it back out piece by piece.

And yet you.. still got the Botox?
Vanity is a bitch. She also might have asked after getting it.

Most botox patients are there for therapeutic reasons; it's a common and (if it works for you) extremely effective treatment for chronic migraines.
It's also used for people who grind their teeth and clench their jaws at night. Injecting it into the jaw muscles can reduce the damage to teeth and tempomandibular joints.

What confuses me most is calling women of botox-using age "girls".
A lot of people use "boys" and "girls" to refer to men and women of all ages.
