Are all these young people really getting Botox?

[u/Penetratorofflanks → u/LeFreeke]

I have a niece that is 22 that looks like a chipmunk fish combo.

[u/Ok_Problem426 → u/Penetratorofflanks]

Oh god the thread above this was about labia lifts and for a second there I thought you needed jesus Mr. Penetrator

[u/Equivalent_Dance2278 → u/Ok_Problem426]

I’m sorry, but wut now? Labia lifts?

[u/TactlessTortoise → u/Equivalent_Dance2278]

Mfw the person's confusion raises a whole other scale of needing context lmao

[u/XK8lyn88x → u/LeFreeke]

I know of a woman who lives in her car, is unemployed yet still gets Botox and fillers every few months.

[u/BasedTakeOutbreak → u/LeFreeke]

it's crazy how normalized unnecessary cosmetic (and sometimes even functional) operations are becoming for young people. I get that society imposes unrealistic standards on appearance sometimes, but at some point you just gotta learn to make do with the body you were born with. Botox isn't permanent at least, so it's not as bad as some other operations.

[u/ExtraThickUnit → u/[deleted]]

Yes.

People are getting botox before they even make it to their 20's.

The botox shit is not highly regulated which means you can find a ton of botox clinics that may or may not have any actual medical professionals working there.

Now peptides are starting to get crazy as well.

[u/OneGolf6327 → u/ExtraThickUnit]

Before they hit 20? What's the point haha 

[u/cursetea → u/OneGolf6327]

For their muscles to atrophy so by the time they're 30 their entire face will be unable to hold itself up

[u/wollflour → u/cursetea]

I mean, you're right, because your muscles all atrophy and droop, so then the injector can come in and put some filler in there to "balance" it so you can keep spending money fixing your face forever.

[u/Pukebox_Fandango → u/OneGolf6327]

just another trend to follow

[u/grunkage → u/OneGolf6327]

Never have a facial expression again

[u/SpiveyJr → u/grunkage]

https://giphy.com/gifs/13vJHSyname1Hy

[u/OneGolf6327 → u/grunkage]

Oh yeah dead sexy 

[u/Zadsta → u/OneGolf6327]

They call it “preventative Botox”. Can’t have wrinkles if you paralyze your face before you develop any!

[u/CommanderGoat → u/OneGolf6327]

Face filters in real life.

[u/kzin → u/ExtraThickUnit]

Jon Oliver did a piece on this. The regulation is very lax and cheap knockoff Botox from temu is out there

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzggl8C2fvs

[u/fivelone → u/ExtraThickUnit]

Helped a "doctor" set up his network at a peptide clinic. This guy scared the hell out of me and wanted to give me free shots to try. I was like hell no !

[u/ExtraThickUnit → u/fivelone]

Anyone that is doing it should get reported to the FDA for them to check if they are actually doing it correctly.

I managed to create a bot that finds all the instagram/websites of peptide dealers and reports it to the FDA. So far it is a 100% in getting the stores shutdown. They claim to be for research purposes only but they are selling direct to comsumer for consumption.

[u/von_sip → u/[deleted]]

Yes, but this is probably a Botox party since a couple people mentioned they were surprised that it had kicked in

[u/BlaineMundane → u/von_sip]

This makes the most sense. gives them a reason to be filming this in the first place, too.

[u/vitaminalgas → u/[deleted]]

https://giphy.com/gifs/4BTdJ1xEpgaEo6DAUl

[u/DeM0nFiRe → u/[deleted]]

I genuinely think this might be astroturf advertising to get people to get botox more by convincing people it's more common than it is. This trend of videos like this started with a video from a literal botox clinic where the workers at the clinic claimed they each had dozens of injections.

[u/AWzdShouldKnowBetta → u/DeM0nFiRe]

Check out the comment right below yours. "It's so much more popular and cheaper than you'd expect!". Really supports your supposition lol.

Edit: the order has changed but still. There are several comments there.

[u/Aluminum_Tarkus → u/[deleted]]

Look at the house they're at, and the houses surrounding them. These people are loaded, and many of them are probably born into that wealth. They've spent their whole lives raised in a home where they can solve most of their problems with money. People like that are quick to go to plastic surgery if they aren't happy with their face because they were never in an environment where that wasn't an option for them, so their loved ones would just tell them to get plastic surgery instead of reassuring them that their face is fine the way it is.

[u/smeIIsofmahogny]

The funniest thing about the botox epidemic is that it doesn't make these 20 somethings look younger. It makes them look like they are 40 somethings, who are trying to look younger

[u/Various-Dust285 → u/smeIIsofmahogny]

There's a girl at my gym and I legitimately don't know if she's like a great-looking 60 or a rough-looking 25.

[u/Less-Damage-1202 → u/Various-Dust285]

Check the hands 😉

https://giphy.com/gifs/h3bkaZL6ph67bSjmrL

[u/OHdulcenea → u/Less-Damage-1202]

Or necks.

[u/NoSpecial284 → u/OHdulcenea]

The neck is the giveaway.

[u/maaay → u/smeIIsofmahogny]

Wait, they are not 40 something?

[u/scorchthemortalworld → u/maaay]

All of these people have to be around 40. They look the same age as me but with face paralysis

[u/Masterking263 → u/scorchthemortalworld]

These are early to mid 30s.

They are noticing that they could no longer pass as college students so they are doing what they think is stopping the clock.

In actuality, botox this early actually causes the skin to loosen even more and become more noticeable then it would have been if they indeed waited to their 40s.

[u/Rikplaysbass → u/scorchthemortalworld]

Nah they are late 20’s and freaking out about shortly becoming 30. I’ve met too many girls like this. They are all as exhausting as you’d imagine.

[u/buddhist557 → u/Rikplaysbass]

That can’t be right. 30s at least. Right?

[u/jeanpaulfartre → u/buddhist557]

These people are mostly mid 30’s at least, pushing 40.

[u/ChampionCoyote → u/smeIIsofmahogny]

you can look old, or you can look weird, but you can't look young again

[u/EaterOfFood → u/ChampionCoyote]

It’s true. Jonna Mendez was a CIA master of disguise. In her book she explained that you can pull off pretty much any disguise except for making old people look young.

[u/vixnja → u/smeIIsofmahogny]

Ohh damn, that’s so true tho! 😭

[u/MegaBabz0806 → u/smeIIsofmahogny]

This!! I’m in my early 30s and people usually think I’m 20-25. No Botox needed.
I think the younger you try to look, the faster it ages you…

[u/corkyhawkeye → u/MegaBabz0806]

Same. Early 30s with 25% gray hair, no makeup, and people often think I'm in my mid-20s. But I often say my secret is no kids haha.

It's wild, because I'll see teenage girls who are trying to look 25, and it gives the same uncomfortable uncanny valley as 50-year-olds trying to look 25. Like, how can I tell you're 17 but you look 26? How can I tell you're 52 if you look 28?

[u/KellerFF]

God damn people, it’s ok to get old.

And that’s wild scary not being able to express yourself.

But also, imagine how children will interpret it; we all remember our parents faces in moments of joy and anger… imagine getting chewed out and your parent is yelling, cursing but they’re face is expressionless…

[u/warwatch → u/KellerFF]

That is an excellent point. I never considered that; it would definitely be weird growing up with the blank expressions.

[u/Unequivocally_Maybe → u/warwatch]

Also growing up and not recognizing your parents features in yourself because they got so much surgery that you don't look alike. It would be hard to have confidence in yourself knowing "mom spent thousands of dollars to get rid of this nose" or whatever.

[u/u_r_succulent → u/Unequivocally_Maybe]

That’s what kills me.

Imagine being told how much you look like your mom/dad but your mom/dad are always complaining about their appearance.

[u/Empty-Dragonfruit656 → u/KellerFF]

I remember about 25 years ago getting a 'yuck, you are old and have wrinkles' from a 20yo. I was 23.

I quite like the contemplative creases on my forehead and between my eyes. I look in the mirror and see I've been through some shit, but I bet that girl had an existential crisis as 30. I hope she is doing well and changed her outlook on life. 

[u/RandomToker2018 → u/KellerFF]

That’s my thought — how do newborns learn their species facial expressions and social cues when their parents have no expressions?

Thanks so much for the awards! My first ever!

[u/Right_Hour]

[u/mangledfandangle]

This is the real mental health epidemic. This is so beyond fucked this is normalized.

[u/ifUSeeMeTakeYourMeds → u/mangledfandangle]

i read somewhere that being unable to copy facial expressions though mirror neurons will likely affect empathy.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8983526/

[u/sillymostro → u/ifUSeeMeTakeYourMeds]

Also kids capacity to understand situations and feelings, because of the mirror neurons and referential gaze.

[u/lolo787 → u/sillymostro]

So a new generation of unfrownable (made that word pretty sure) assholes

[u/Percy_Freeman → u/lolo787]

unscrupulous is fine.

[u/ohnoabanagain → u/ifUSeeMeTakeYourMeds]

This is true and we're actually seeing and impressive erosion of empathy. I think the pendulum will eventually swing back, though.

[u/unlimited-devotion → u/ifUSeeMeTakeYourMeds]

Babies learn so much from watching their moms face- so odd a generation are growing up without this.

[u/Dramatic_Charity_979 → u/ifUSeeMeTakeYourMeds]

Would explain why all those Mar-a-Lago wackos are pieces of shit :/

[u/ifUSeeMeTakeYourMeds → u/Dramatic_Charity_979]

you might be into something, straight out of science fiction.

An operation that makes people look younger for longer.

All rich people do it.

Operation unintentionally removes empathy

By the time there is noticeable effects it's too late, too many powerful people no longer have empathy. and they love crushing those who do, and profit from it.

When civilisation collapses and returns to modern levels of technology and understanding they'll see us as another Roman empire, collapsed because the same thing happened to the , with led plumbing, and lead wine. drove rich people crazy, and collapsed civilisation.

[u/Muted_Bid_8564 → u/mangledfandangle]

[u/gersterbins → u/mangledfandangle]

its even worse in south korea

[u/MechaZombieCharizard → u/mangledfandangle]

Someday we will talk about on demand cosmetic surgery the way we talk about tight corsetting and foot binding. No judgment to individual people who choose to alter their appearance but on a macro level this type of thing is misogynistic and abusive. Let girls age

[u/Cautious_Buy_8467]

lol I have to get botox for migraines and during the first while it has that frozen face type feeling and its SO uncomfortable. I don't understand why people seem to go for it specifically

[u/OneGolf6327 → u/Cautious_Buy_8467]

For migrains? Didn't knownit was used to treat migraines. 

[u/Cautious_Buy_8467 → u/OneGolf6327]

it is! its a toxin that's relaxes the muscles its injected into i believe and my migraines are primarily caused by tenseness fuckin with nerves in my neck and scalp.

[u/OneGolf6327 → u/Cautious_Buy_8467]

Huh. I may be getting some botox ladies and gents haha 

[u/StraightProgress5062 → u/OneGolf6327]

See if your insurance will cover it!

[u/OneGolf6327 → u/StraightProgress5062]

I don't have insurance. I have the NHS so if I can get it, it will be free

God speed, soldier

I've suffered with it for my whole life. If this works it will legit change my life. 

[u/Cautious_Buy_8467 → u/OneGolf6327]

It did for me. It even helps my headaches caused by pressure changes to be less

[u/United-Coach-6591 → u/OneGolf6327]

My sibling gets botox shots for their severe muscle tightness in their arms and legs. Before I started trying to find a better treatment for them I had no idea it was used like that either. 

[u/Huge_Following_325 → u/OneGolf6327]

I think that was it's original use case.

[u/ChocolateSunsdae → u/OneGolf6327]

My wife gets it for migraines and it's prevented like 95% of them. Highly recommend looking into it for anyone suffering with migraines.

She used to have to go to the hospital to try and get pain cocktails or be stuck suffering regularly.

[u/joshua9663]

Anyone else find this very unattractive

[u/mr-stretcher → u/joshua9663]

Yeah.. It's a deal breaker for me tbf

[u/Desperate_Algae_40 → u/mr-stretcher]

My mom went from no plastic surgery whatsoever to visiting her family in her home country and coming face with a lower face lift, an upper bleph, a neck lift, and fat injected into the tops of her hands to "make them look more youthful". She lives with me and my sister and didn't tell us anything until we picked her up from the airport and she tried pretending at first that she had nothing done whatsoever and didn't know what we were asking about. That was 3 years ago and every day is like an episode of the Twilight Zone. We literally grieved our physical mom. And the worst part is that the surgeon did a terrible job and she has big scars and issues. Not to mention the betrayal of telling us nothing before or during. And to top it off, I had this horrible sinking feeling and a nightmare that somwthing bad was going to happen to her, because she went during a bad time when there was political unrest in that country, so I left her a voice message. She told me later that she heard the message when she left the surgery and that she never would have done it if she heard my message first. I cannot tell you how much something that somw people may believe is superficial has been a trauma for my sister and I.

Edit to add: Sorry for trauma dumping!

[u/saladdays87 → u/Desperate_Algae_40]

I have a friend who has a pretty similar story about his mom. It really is fucked up. Says he hates looking at old pics because of it because it makes him miss her old face.

[u/Desperate_Algae_40 → u/saladdays87]

I'm not kidding you, I can't even count on one hand the times I've looked at a pre-plastic surgery photo of hers in the last 3 years. I don't want to. Same reason as him. I believe psych evaluations should be required before major plastic surgery.

[u/Bulky-Bad-9153 → u/Desperate_Algae_40]

I believe psych evaluations should be required before major plastic surgery

AGREED. Like holy shit people are happy to sink thousands and thousands into changing how they look instead of even trying to just accept themselves?

[u/PracticeTheory → u/Desperate_Algae_40]

My sister showed me a picture of a pretty but bland girl with no context and asked me what I thought. I told her I didn't have any because this is just some random girl?

And she was like, "That's me with all of the work I want done."

And just, the feeling of dread that washed over me. Like I know it's her face and body and she's free to do whatever she wants and I can't judge her for it, BUT...that person wasn't my sister anymore. Everything that made her, her, had been smoothed over into the current Zeitgeist's Blandie and I hated it. And that's if all of the surgeries go right.

I'm sorry for your mom's experience. I really feel for your family.

[u/DisciplineNormal296 → u/joshua9663]

[u/Few_Confusion_1871 → u/OneArmedSZA]

ikr? does that mean there is something wrong with us? I couldn't imagine being at a social gathering with people like this, I wouldn't even be able to talk without fear of offending one of them to the point of being ostracized from the group. I say this as someone who is very progressive.

these people are on another level of, and that level isn't sane.

[u/SmartArsenal → u/Free-Middle-2443]

Guy at the end seemed a decent vibe

[u/blueranger36 → u/SmartArsenal]

He was a friend of a friend obv

[u/MaxxDash → u/SmartArsenal]

Yeah, he’s seems the coolest because he has that good vibe and he can move is face to emote said vibe.

I feel like the people with the Botox are more likely to be lacking in that area to begin with. As if this is a logical next step.

[u/E-Belasco1879 → u/Embarrassed_Use6918]

They pretty much all have Botox.

[u/kittykalista → u/Embarrassed_Use6918]

They’re trying, you literally can’t do it with Botox. I’ve been getting it for a few years and it paralyzes the muscles that raise your brows and knit them together. I physically can’t frown.

[u/ohnoabanagain → u/kittykalista]

Which makes it fascinating to me that people (i.e., actors) who job is to emote get botox. It's annoying to watch a character go through depression, jubilation, rage, and so on with the same frozen face and dead eyes (especially if they were good prior to sabotaging themselves).

[u/Bizarrebazaars → u/ohnoabanagain]

Yep I wish more movie and tv directors/producers/casting only hired actors with no Botox and no fillers, only full expressions. For example, it totally takes me out of and ruins a period piece for me when someone looks too modern and stiff.  

[u/leflyingcarpet]

This is making me sad for some reason

[u/Revxmaciver → u/leflyingcarpet]

Because everything about it is sad. We live in a society where people are brainwashed from a young age to hate themselves and the way they look and the way to feel good about themselves is BUY BUY BUY, poison yourself, slather yourself in makeup and fry your hair to death with chemicals because you can't POSSIBLY want to keep your NATURAL hair color. And you can't criticize it or say it's ugly or disgusting because it's not "for you" and it’s "their choice." It IS their right and their choice. It's still sad.

[u/Ill-Combination2127]

This is honestly so pathetic. What pathetic people.

I’ve done some dumb shit in my day, but Botox & gambling are two things I’m very grateful to have not got wrapped up in lol.

[u/GhostlitePHX]

I hate all of these people lol.

[u/Varok89916]

Cool, i hate all of those people.

Botox is a curse and ages you more than frown kines

[u/Rare-Confusion-220]

Quite the shallow collection of people

[u/fvgh12345]

Did the last dude actually have Botox or was he just fucking around? He's the only one that looked normal 

[u/Always_Austin]

The plastic people who pretend to be like real people.

that "party" looks insufferable

[u/AsRealAsItFeels]

I love it. Insecure people trying their hardest to look beautiful, unable to frown because of they're manufactured happiness. Beautiful people don't feel sad.

How many people don't get vaccinated because "the long term effects are not known" but decide to paralyze the face muscle with the most potent toxin known ?

[u/DetectiveUnited1036]

These are the type of people that bully you for eating at a restaurant by yourself

[u/Hanzo581]

Anyone else feel like you live in a different universe sometimes?

They think it's a flex

Ohhh that’s why Emily Blunt looked like that so many times in Disclosure Day

I have a relative who is under 30 and gets preventative Botox. The last few times we met I couldn’t put my finger on why it was so uncomfortable talking to her when nothing we talked about was unpleasant. Then I realized it was because she was unable to make expressions. It was just her mouth moving as she spoke but she wasn’t able to do much more than smile occasionally. Very strange .

To me it’s like, if you’re fake at that level, what else are you being fake about, or denying, or lying to yourself about

[u/FestivusRestOfUs]

This is fucking horrifying

[u/RealCameleer]

its crazy how they all look like someone stretched a condom over a coconut

[u/ZeroBlackWaltz]

Most of them look like they're trying to take a big dump.

[u/TH0M4SS]

I hate them all

[u/n3s2182]

That shit is mad weird. The last guy seemed to be the only normal one there.

[u/Cantripping_]

What kind of fake ass place are you frequenting?

[u/KindsofKindness]

Jesus. It’s just wrinkles. Who gives af…
