has anyone ever had some work done to their
face, by a spa or plastic surgeon?
i am considering having some fine lines
and wrinkles taken care of, a little boost
for me.
has anyone done this or something similar?
tia.

No, I haven't but I plan on getting the works if everything starts going south.

Just kidding.


P.S. I have to get used to your new screen name, but it's just as cute though.

I'm in my mid-30s & am starting to show the signs of spending EVERY childhood summer constantly outdoors with NO sunscreen - - but I'm not a big fan of plastic surgery. Too many people end up looking waxy/fake/odd. Just imo. Buuuuuuuuuut - if you've got the extra dough & you research the doc & the procedure carefully to make sure the work will be subtle, it would probably be okay. Let us know what you decide.

I havent done any surgery, well I'm only 20 so it would be kind of early to do that anyway..
But I think I could never do such things because I would be way to scared!!

Anyway I know somebody that did though she got her stomach done (guess she had extra skin she might have lost a lot of weight or something? ) and she had surgery on her eyes, got the wrinkles taken care of and her lids ( I have no idea how to call it in english) well everything was fine she had a good doctor and she did look great after that!

Just be very very careful I hear so much about surgery gone bad you have to see plenty of different doctors and listen to whatever they have to say then decide which one you think is the best and maybe try to find out about previous patients how everything turned out for them and maybe if its possible talk to somebody that had that surgery done.
There is so much that can go wrong so dont rush and try to get most information you can.

I'm sorry I hope I didnt scare you off or something just make sure you do the right thing and get the best doctor with a lot of experience!

Let us know if you decide to get surgery, I'll defenetly pray for you !

I have to stress to you younger ladies to wear sunscreen religiously. It makes a huge difference in the long run. Even though I only started wearing it in my 20s, I think my skin looks quite a bit better than most people my age. My sister makes fun of me for always wearing sunscreen on my face, but she looks sooooooo much older than I (thankfully she doesn't know about this forum & won't see this post ). If I had known earlier what I know now about sun damage, I would have been wearing sunscreen from a very early age!!!!!

Thankfully...I've been blessed with great skin, but I guard it with ferocity . I never leave the house without slathering on 2 inches of SPF 5000 . My mother has hammered in that golden rule and I am glad I've listened. I stay out of the sun as much as possible .

- You are a riot and a half!!!

I generally will put sunscreen on if I know I'll be out in the sun for over an hour, otherwise I don't bother.
I'm not in the sun much, anyway. Just long enough to walk from my house to my car/my car to my work,etc.

BTW, Kimmer, your signature line is true. Many years ago when I was going through a very rough time in my life and had NO money for retail therapy - - my sister "loaned" me her black lab for a week to use as "pet therapy." That little sweet boy (who has since passed away) really helped! Now, of course, I've got my own two dollies. Sooooooooometimes they drive me crazy, but mostly they brighten my days.

I agree with everything you said BBWRawks. Sunscreen is very important, the sun can damage so much on(in) your skin, and of course we all know how dangerous the sun is too (skin cancer,...)
Buuut, even though I know about it, I find myself walking around with no sunscreen on anyway
Well my daily face cream already has sunscreen in it though, but when it gets warmer (if that will ever happen ) I will have to put sunscreen on only thing is that I dont really like how they smell

ilive4bbw, I have never had anything done, but I don't think there's anything too wrong with it if it's done for the right reasons. I would just say that you should be carfeful to choose the right doctor to do it, because if it doesn't look natural then there's not much of a point in spending all that money!! Personally, I'd consider Botox or something similarly "minor" in a few years ... if it weren't for the money!

Just be sure to tell the doctor that you don't want to end up looking like Patricia Wexler. Yikes. She is so plastic looking it's scary.

Janelle, that picture of Pat Wexler looks fake because it is fake. They Photoshopped the sh!t out of that picture becuase I guess they wanted to make her look "good" so people would be more inclined to buy her products.

To get the real look of Wexler, add about twenty pounds, widen the nose ten percent, add a huge scar across it, de-plump the lips, add fine lines and wrinkles, and the bangs need to be a few inches lower (nearly covering her eyes). When I was a BBW employee, I had to watch a video on Wexler, and she's quite spooky looking.

Becky you crack me up

Well, I personally have not, but that doesn't mean that if I had the chance that I wouldn't

I am 36 and so far I think I am holding up pretty good. Prior to my Calvin & Hobbs post I had my picture up and those of you who saw it noticed I have very fair skin and redhair, so you can say I have used my fair share of sun screen. My sister on the other hand didn't and she is two years younger than I am and is already bitching about little lines and wrinkles (that is what she gets).

I have already told Jeremy that if we do have children that once that child is out that a tummy tuck and a boob lift and reduction will be done while I am still on the delivery table Yes, that will happen and somehow I will figure out a way for the insurance to pay for the reduction of my breast

When the day comes that my at home microdemabrasion kit doesn't do it anymore, then I will probably look into a little botox. Heck, if I could get into a doctor that does that for migraines now, then I would have it injected into my face to help with lines.

I do agree with NbgsFirstLady, if any of us do decide to do anything, we do need to research this. It is a big step and to try and keep it as natural as possible and to keep you safe, you want the best.

iliveabbw, I never had anything done, but I have a couple of friends that have. One had her breasts done twice because the first time they were uneven. The other friend had lipo, and something went terribly wrong. However, I know many people have things done with no problems whatsoever.

So if it's something you really want to do, just do your research and try to see some of the dr's work if possible so you can get an idea of the outcome. It doesn't sound like you're doing anything grand, and as Janelle mentioned, botox might be just what you're looking for.

If you decide to go through with it, I'm sure you'll look great, and I hope you feel great too!

I'm glad I could make you laugh on that one but I swear, if I can pull it off, I'm doing it

I am told by many people I don't look my age either and actually had to show one of the ladies at my neuro's office my driver's license to prove that I am the age I am (she thought I was in my early 20's) that was pushing it just a little as nice as the compliment was, but Jeremy thinks I look great the way I am and likes me better without makeup, but there is no way in H*** that I will leave the house without lipgloss/lipstick and mascara. The redhair fairy didn't bless me with dark eyelashes

I am still getting use to your new name. Probably by the time I do, you will change again Just kidding. Have a great weekend.
