***Botox****

Okay, so Nauty has been feeling a little down lately.......She and her third person are having the " I am getting old" battle.......You know when you look in the mirror and start finding "stuff" not like when your were 25 "stuff" but, the over forty kind......

A lot of people tell me I don't look my age, and for a while I felt that way.  Not having children has definitely helped keep my body in better shape, but now I feel like the face is out-running the body.  Well, not long ago my friend told me that I was looking old.....thanks, dude.......that's how we communicate.  I used to appreciate his honesty until he said that....lol.  And, the fact that he stated if "If I cut off my head, I'd be one hot chick".....jerk.  Now, mind you.....He thought he was being funny and it was funny, but as you know, sometimes people hide there truths behind their humor......

Anyway, enough of that, regardless, it did not give me the much needed boost I may have needed right now, but I guess my question is.........Has anybody used botox?......if so, did you like it?  Is it worth it?.....also, has anyone ever done dermabrasion?.......did you like that?......or any kind of cosmetic pick-me-up.......I would like to hear your stories..........

Mary and Magi.........go easy on me with this one, okay?.......lol

VicUser used to have a full head of hair that was so thick that he had a hard time getting a comb through it.  In his early twenties it started to migrate south and his wife found it funny to count his chest hairs. Soon there were too many chest hairs to count but found out it hurts the get a sunburn on the top of your head.

Saying he was not vain only secretly thought dreamed about having hair up there again.  Always struggling with weight issues he was now fat and bald. As time went on the “platinum blonde” hairs started to show up and he used oh it make me look distinguished thought process to pass that off. He soon stared to feel he was old, fat and bald. It was only a few years ago he “platinum blonde” hair started to show up on his chest. But he was able to pluck them and all was good.

Just recently he found that these same “platinum blonde” were going even further south and his wife finally said those aren’t “platinum blonde” they were GRAY and if he didn’t stop plucking them he would soon be bald other places than just his head. So now he is old, fat, bald and gray.

sophie would have the whole shebang done if she had the dough. Tummy job, eyes job, the butt job, definitely and of course the boobs job! Man I wish they could still be like 20 years ago!!!

Don't listen to anyone but yourself sweetie. If you feel miserable, go for it. But pleeease check out you dr. Better safe than sorry.

I did Botox for my forehead. and I was NOT satisfied at all. The problem is once you start, you're married with it and there's NO divorce!!! I went to my hairdresser and he did a better job at hiding the whole thing!!!

Keep us posted!!!
sophie.
I really like the part when you say "but as you know, sometimes people hide there truths behind their humor...... " So that's what it is!!!! lol

Scaredmom would have her girls lifted back where they belong. She is scared that the older she gets, she will someday be able to throw them over her shoulders. lmfao.. sorry nauty I had to do it.... love you girl


there are things I would love to do, the girls, maybe lipo the stomach. I am scared of needles in my face too. ...I guess if someone else was paying for it I would go for it all...maybe like Mary and have them tie it all up at the top and snip it off...lol...

I too think it is a personal decision,,,just be careful on the doctor you choose...

Oh, my God, M & M.......Man, I am starting to feel like a puppy between to nasty pitbulls.....lmao!!    I have to say I almost pee'd myself reading your posts......maybe I need to have something surgical done for that too now...:-?

Lizzy.......I do kinda agree about the Botox.  It doesn't last that long.  My girls are fine, so far.....i think.

I dont' know if I am ready for surgical....Yet, or if I would have the ballz to do it cause unlike Michael Jackson, I have a pretty bad fear of being Knocked-out.  I'm just pitchen in out to see what first-hand experience I can get.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.......

It was not my intention to say that women who have children have less attractive bodies than those who don't, cause I know that to be FALSE!  I hope nobody took it that way....oiy!  I just have a bug up my butt.  Having a mid-life crisis...I guess...and maybe need new friends.......Maybe it did bother me when he said the cut off my head thing, although I did think it was funny.......maybe that got into my head.  I am going through a whole new "Me" transition, finding myself all over again and see how much work I have to do, so I am having a "NautyMeltdown".........whaaaaaaaa  I guess I should sca-daddle, my sorry butt back over to the "group hug" post again......lol

IBK.......you are right,  LateAugust.......You Go Girl!!!.........Personal choice.....thank God we have that, right?........:-))

Thanks guys for the freaking laugh, but if anyone has any info to offer other than to make me feel like ***@****&M.......I would like to hear your stories.....

thanks again,
luv,
Nauty.....1st person

My "girls" are holding up my sicks and it is darn good thing. Winter is coming and I will need them to stay up in my boots.

The very thought of someone sticking needles in my face scares me. I think we should age gracefully. We are all beautiful women and special in our own right. Hell, a few wrinkles does not make the person.

Mary!!   I seriously doubt you need a complete "over haul"  LOL    lord only knows why "our girls"  have to look  over our toes!!   But then apparently yours are bigger than mine,  my girls  are  now watching the ribs     I should have had those puppies made bigger a long time ago    hahaha

My sister and I joke about having an uh-huh lift  (as we don't have a butt)  or lipo  to get really skinny   but   we are not quite that vain!!   I hope those that medically need to get a tummy staple  and it is advised by their doc  will do so.  Their health is a major factor in making that decision.    I don't consider stomach stapling  vain,  not like my  eyes,  which was complete vanity on my part and I know so......  guess that is why  I get in so much trouble,  just say it like it is  or how it is in my small world.   Well except the eye surgery part,  that is our little secret!  HAH

It is a personal decision,  and other than the mammoth boob jobs,   who cares what anyone else thinks.....  you are doing it for yourself!   Okay and maybe the huge lip injections,   I guess that is my point if it's that noticeable   you need a new plastic surgeon   or  psychiatrist!  :)

i'm sure you know that botox is not permanent...so why spend that kind of money for a temporary fix?

about the microdermabrasion...it is great...especially if you have it done routinely.

If Magi could, She would go to the Doctor and have them hold her upside down, pull all the excess to the top of her head and tie it in a knot. I just wouldn't want them to pull so tight,that my boobs ended up on my cheeks.

If Mary had the money she would have a complete overhaul.  Mary's boobs are fine they just need to be lifted about 3 inches. LMAO  

If you can afford it ......Mary says .....GO FOR IT !  I sure would.

I've been told I don't look old enough to have my 18-year old daughter. I don't know, even if I had the $$ I doubt if I would go to surgical extremes just for the sake of vanity. I guess my only complaint about my appearance might be a few excess pounds, but I'm not gonna get my stomach stapled so I can only eat one grape for dinner...LOL. I don't have wrinkles,I have healthy thick hair with NO gray, and as long as people don't mind a voluptous figure, my body ain't so bad either. And besides, my husband tells me I'm beautiful all the time...that's good enough for me;)

Thanks, I will have to PM you and ask you a few things.  esp. about the "surgery" stuff.  Don't know if  am ready for that quite yet, but i do have questions....if you are more than kind enough to share.

Yes!!!  Omg!!  Poor Priscilla Presley, you would think she ...with all that Cha-Ching ....WTF was she thinking, although there were other pretty famous people who got motor oil shot into their face.  That was really sad, because its permanent and he is looking more and more disfigured as time passes, or she is trying to fix it??dunno, but they said she should not because it's NOT FIXABLE!!  ....thats horrible....NO FIXABLE  very scary!

You should not be ashamed for having work done.  If you feel better.....that's the whole point.  at this point..I think I would give up a nice vacation for a little suthin sumptin.......not that !! get your minds out of the gutter, but not quite ready for the nip tuck, but maybe start with something simple like the botox or dermabrasion....anyone ever tried that?....my sister did it and her skin looks pretty good.  I don't wear make-up....at least foundation.  That's what I consider make-up..lol.  it looks like I may have to start if my skin doesn't start to look better. I think it might be the medication I am on...I noticed a decline just in the past year or so, and that's when I started this med.  it does make you look kind of bloated.  I need this med, but am willing to suffer .....beauty over pain......how sad is that.....uhgggg  I have also been super-duper High Stress in the past year too, so ......whaaaa just feeling really bummed lately.........

I think I need to make a stop at the Group Hug Post........lol.   Somebody hold me.....Please..........give nauty a hug..........whaaa

Oh boy.....  am I going to take some *hit over this one  but  yes I have used Botox a few times for my forehead wrinkles   but I wear bangs  so  not something I will do again  ...  and during one of my daughter's stints in rehab I had my eyes done.  I did it because I was so tired of people saying  "are you tired"  " you look tired"  "are you not sleeping?"    Well no  as a matter of fact my daughter is an oxy addict and I haven't slept in months!!  I didn't say that tho....     I have big eyes   and they were getting the heavy lids  and bags underneath      So my sis and I went to a plastic surgeon for a consultation  and yes I did something for my self.  I had my lower and upper lids done..     and no one knew,   they just started saying  "gosh you look like your old self, must be sleeping now"   Well actually no  my daughter is still an addict  and I am still not sleeping    but my eyes look a whole lot better that surgery really worked!  :)


I think it is a personal decision that you do for yourself....   Was it selfish on my part,  perhaps,  but I could have taken a cruise for the same cost  and  decided I wanted to stop having to tape up my lids to put on liner LOL     I wear make-up, I dye my hair, I weigh the same I did before having my children.....    I see plastic surgery as no different if you are doing it for yourself.....  go for it!!!!     And for people that think it is vain......  that's their choice, they don't have to do it.

My sister had  a"turkey" neck,  one of those things she got from my mom.....  when  she was 49  my sister  had her neck done because it bothered her....lord knows we heard our mother complain about hers  for a bazillion years!   No one knew...  obviously I did,  but it didn't change her looks at all and she quit wearing turtlenecks  all year long!!  It was important to my sister and she has no regrets.

If you do want to do anything    even Botox   make sure you go to a Board Certified Plastic Sugeon.  And check his references.    Have you seen Pracilla Pressley,  she has more money than God  yet she used some illegal alien with a product that is not approved in the US  at a neighborhood block party.  And it  absolutely shows.
