During a recent evening out the conversation got around to Botox and I was shocked to hear some of the comments that were flying around "Never, would I consider Botox and the people who do must be mad" I can't believe she does the B word, is she so insecure with her looks, relationship, Life" "Why doesn't she just grow old gracefully ..........
Now, I don't normally get involved in the whole Botox debate, but this really got me thinking - Why does Botox evoke such judgemental opinions from women who are usually kind, compassionate & supportive of other women.
I am not saying Botox is a treatment for everyone, if someone is happy with their lines and wrinkles and feels good about themselves, more power to them! I would never say that everyone should try it and am not in the business of 'selling' treatments as individuals need to be psychologically ready for any cosmetic treatment, non surgical or surgical.
Over the years, I have treated many women (& Men but that's a whole new subject) who's self esteem was at rock bottom and when I see them for their next treatment they are radiant, more self confident and appear to be in a much happier place and no, they aren't taking anti-depressants. I am told, that they just feel better about themselves & that this is something they do that is "just for me"
The reality is, for a lot of us, if we feel that we look better, we really do feel better!
So my question is .. How can this be wrong? For those of us who love our Botox please give us a break, it really is an individual choice & in the words of Barack Obama "If moms happy, everybody's happy!!!
