Botox and fillers

Each to their own of course but glad my mid fourty year old daughter is happy in her own skin and like myself won’t have any procedures. So many that have these procedures end up looking like clones of each other or worse 🤣

Having Botox at young age will prevent wrinkles forming later in life.
Must admit have had as many fillers as I can afford. Seems to work for me.

How can having Botox at a young age prevent wrinkles in later life? The effect wears off after a few months so you would have to keep having it done.

If you start having treatments like that at an early age, then you have to keep up with it surely?

Well for certain Queen Camilla hasn't ventured into the realms of Botex and she looks marvellous for her age, wrinkles and all! I think her hair has some help, but apart from that, nothing. I'm of the same opinion, growing old gracefully is far more peaceful.

I disagree. I’m the same age and I’m glad my skin is not so badly wrinkled. It’s probably the result of her (heavy?) smoking.
She is someone who would benefit from a few Botox (not Botex) treatments, being in the public eye, but it looks a bit late for that now…

No-one, not even a Queen, has a duty not to look old.

I don't think Charles is or has been a smoker, but he shows the ravages of time in his face. Should he not also undergo a few Botox, too, as he is also in the public eye (arguably more so than his wife)?

Both make the best of their appearance as older people. Why isn't that enough?

I actually think Charles looked better as he aged and grew into his face, not so Camilla. Obviously Charles is looking rather tired and pale at the moment through his treatment.

I think it's more likely that we hold women to a different standard.

I'm not sure who they are letting-down by not having some 'work' done.

If she's happy in her skin and Charles likes her the way she is - that's really all that matters IMO.

It was posted upthread that that a person was glad her forty something daughter liked her self not to have botox or other enhancements. I find this attitude so self satisfied.
I have, in my opinion a beutiful daughter, both inside and out.
My daughter is a single parent, a highly paid journalist who works incredibly hard to give a brilliant life for my Grandson. I only mention the above because she has had botox. She is a feminist and would not let the media influence her. Its entirely up to her. A very intelligent woman who made a researched and informed decision.
My personal view is that any Mother, whose daughter keeps quiet about her proceedure because she knows she will be judged is disgraceful, and as for not feeling the same about her daughter, I think that is alful. My daughter told me in general conversation and there was no judgement, it is her life, her decision.
I never will have botox , that is up to me. I respect my daughter enough to make her decisions in life.
One or two posters sound the the judgemental interfering Mothers/ Mothers in law that Mumsnet so often complain about.

I thought you were being rather judgmental about ‘one or two posters’.

I judge a Mother who does not feel the same about her daughter who has had enhancements, and especially as the daughter had to keep quiet about it.
She should be proud of her lovely daughter who has made her own decisions.

Being judgemental about someone else being judgemental? Hmm....

Yes that's true MI but I make no apology for disagreeing with someone who speaks of her daughter like that.
Just because the Mother disagrees with her daughter having these procedures she should not make her daughter feel bad, or say she does not feel the same about her. I find that shocking.

me too..

But she's still entitled to her feelings. As I said earlier in the thread, I will always stand up for anyone's bodily autonomy, but you can do that and still feel disappointed that the person has felt the need to resort to those kind of treatments. My daughter is an adult, she can do what she wants with her own body and I would respect that - but that wouldn't stop me feeling upset if she felt she needed to have those kind of treatments to conform to a certain 'ideal' of beauty standards, when I think she is beautiful in her own right.

MI that is fine, you may be dissapointed, but keep those feelings to yourself, don't tell everyone you don't feel the
same about her, and don't make her feel she cannot talk to you about it.
You are right about one thing she does have autonomy over her own body.
Also it is not about you, they are your feelings which you are entitled to, just don't make her feel bad about it.

I think, like me, Queen Camilla has enjoyed an out door life and probably putting her face in the sun which can play havoc with your skin!! I would also suggest that, like me, she doesn't regret a moment of it! As has been said, Camillas kindness, common sense and general niceness is written in her face. But more than that, again like me, her husband loves her just as she is, and she him. Surely that's worth much more than seeking artificial eternal youth?!

I recently had 100 units of Botox, and it was a great experience! The procedure was quick and nearly painless, thanks to the expertise of the practitioner. I started seeing results within just a few days, and my skin looks smoother and more rejuvenated. The effects have lasted several months, making it a worthwhile investment in my appearance.
