I didn’t have it again for more than a year. Then, recently, I went to see the medical director of Fitzgerald Private Clinic, in Dublin. She’s a facial plastic surgeon named Dr Deirdre Fitzgerald. Some people — including me — have foreheads that bunch quite visibly in the glabellar area, between their brows, when they frown. It’s genetic, and no big deal, but I could see this bunching becoming more obvious, and noticed my make-up sitting less well in that area.
Sometimes I encounter women who are open about having injectables but feel the need justify it or to apologise for this apparent affront to feminism. I find this impulse to justify sad. It’s my forehead, not an advertising space for anyone else’s political beliefs, and I’ll do as I please with it. Emotional reactions about others’ aesthetic choices tend to be deeply rooted in one’s own self-image.
Like any injectable, Botox can also have side effects, and you should discuss these at length with your doctor. A doctor should be willing to show you the product they are using, should not pressure you into a treatment and, as ethical medical professionals, will not administer Botox to anyone under 18. Unless there is a compelling reason, such as a pronounced asymmetry or clear medical issue, most will not treat anyone in their early 20s, either.
Botox emoticons. Angry 😐, happy 😐, sad 😐, surprised 😐...
You're all fakes
Is she smiling?
Irish Times promotes degeneracy
Fake people...
I dunno why people feel pressurised into these treatments. I get body autonomy and that's fine but jaysis
Crack on with the botox, but don't come crying with another column when you end up looking like this...
