Cosmetic procedures

[ERICS MUM]

We often speculate about which ba’s and presenters (if any) have had ‘work’ done.

Have any of us had anything done ? I had an initial consultation for a non-surgical treatment yesterday, to reduce my almost 70 y/old turtle neck and tighten my jowls. A combo of needles, threads and laser.

Anyone had this type of treatment and is willing to talk about it ?

I’m afraid that I haven’t had any treatments of any kind done and so can’t really comment or give advice, but I do have thoughts about it which I hope won’t offend anyone.

I have no intention of ever having anything done because it’s usually easy to spot who’s had what done because one part of their face or body looks taut or younger than the rest of them or lips look like inflatable lilos if they’ve been done. Things would probably need topping up at a later date as well. I guess that I’m lucky because, although I’m approaching 73, people think I’m a lot younger than my birth certificate states but that’s down to genes. My neck’s quite good, despite losing nearly 4.5 stone since January 2024, but I’ve done neck exercises for years. I don’t use neck creams. I just use hyaluronic serum on it.

I guess I’m just happy to live with what I’ve got as it’s better than the alternative..

I think that getting surgery or a non-surgical procedure is purely up to the individual and that if something is affecting someone’s confidence then it’s worth doing it. I hope that someone here can give you the information and advice that you want, but if it’s something that you want to have done then “go for it.”
