Just keep Madonna in mind as a warning. That weirdly shiny, smooth face coupled with the very obviously 60+ year old hands! Less is definitely more if you want it to look good.

There was an advert for cosmetic fillers on our local Facebook page today; prices started at £250. They put up photos of a young woman before and after treatment. She looked miles better before and there were so many comments pointing that out that they took the advertisement down.

I had this, only had one course of treatment because then Covid kicked in, it was £250 and I am considering going back and having it done again.

My friend however had fillers they cost her £1600, lasted about 18 months and she can’t afford to get it done again so to me that is just a waste of money. Most of these treatments Botox,fillers etc Do need topping up and can work out very expensive. I would never have anything injected into my face Botox or fillers..

I am tempted to have some minor things done but it's expensive and I would probably do better spending it on my teeth.

I know someone who had a mini facelift. She was mid fifties. It wasn’t obvious she’d had anything done; she just looked well. I’d be worried about having my face sliced open. I remember her saying that the recovery was rather uncomfortable and that was just a half one!

No I haven’t and no I wouldn’t I am what I am and proud of how I look without my face being tampered, with, needles stuck in stitched, tucked or having unknown. chemicals or substances shoved in it
We aren’t meant to look 45 when we re 70 be proud of what you are what you ve become and what you will be

Can I ask if any of you have had cosmetic surgery or fillers in an attempt to make them selves look younger?
Would those who haven’t, consider it if they could afford it?The reason I’m asking is that, a friend of mine has had a face lift and it honestly looks amazing! You’d never know she’d had it done. So natural. She just looks 45 instead of 60! I never knew they Couid look so natural. It’s made me think about if I’d be brave enough if I had the funds.
