I have been blessed w/ no need to ever “come under the knife” (never been hospitalized)
I think Eastern medicine should be one’s recourse before Western when the situation calls for it. They emphasize cure and prevention while Western wants to emphasize treatment.
My mind is as sharp as it ever was … maybe sharper because I have learned how to organize it better.

Not anti-surgery but it is expensive and I have better things to do with my money than that. Besides there are risks associated with any type of surgery or procedure such as anesthesia or infection and taking a chance those risks can’t be reversed.
After a massive weight loss, I really REALLY wanted things put back where they belonged. Then I saw people with those “tuck” surgeries & that was just a whole different brand of ugly but now it looks unnatural. I eventually learned to feel comfortable in the body I’m in. Of course it helps to have a husband that thinks I’m so beautiful that he prefers I stay undressed while at home.

No, I have never have nor will I ever have a surgery such as Botox injections or plastic surgery of any kind. I’m not anti surgery in that respect but I’d be afraid of a doctor botching up. I’ve heard & seen some real horror stories in that respect.
never have and never will,why can’t we all grow old gracefully, and i can’t understand why people think they look good after having plastic surgery,it’s beyond me, theyr’e deluding themselves. there are exceptions of course like people needing surgery after accidents,fires etc.
No I have never had any kind of aging procedure, I believe I earned every wrinkle I got, and I am trying to age gracefully, and beside the expense; the Doctors mess up a lot of these surgeries some of these people look like mannequins after surgery.
used retin-a since my early 20’s,figured it would prevent wrinkles,which it pretty much has.switched to just regenerist products from olay,last year.retin a was too drying at this point.anti-surgery unless i get a disfiguring disease or horrifying accident.dont think i will ever change my mind.im not a fan of surgery,unless it would save my life-the expense,pain and how scared i am of surgery would talk me out of it,plus i dont think i need it.even if i thought i needed it,i’d just get new hairstyle and clothes and be the best me i can at any age,without being sliced n’ diced! ps-my mom had her eyelids done in her 70’s-no one noticed.a woman at work had botox,and none of us noticed either.she had to tell us.she was mad that we didnt notice how gr8 she looked,but to the rest of us,not much difference was noticed till she pointed it out.moral-u notice urself far more closely than any1 else will ever notice u.
never considered it , but if i had, seeing celebs with lips that look like pumped up bicycle inner tyres, ******* like water melons,face skin so tight they cant open their mouths to speak……would put put me right OFF.
and i had no wrinkles till i was in my 50s , and started wearing glasses ! LOL.
Botox – no way – its made from botulism! i.e. BO – tox = toxin. I have decided to age gracefully and ask God to do the best he can with what he has to work with. I do not believe I would have cosmetic surgery of any kind.

I don’t believe in wasting my money on that stuff. What you see is what you get. There is nothing fake about me.

Only if it could be done without needles. Ouch, I don’t like needles.

No elective surgery for me. I just try to look the best I can without the artificial stuff.

Never felt the urge to make that sort of a fool of myself. When I see the “plastic face” effects it produced, I cringe.

I don’t like the idea at all, even if I had that kind of money to waste it certainly wouldn’t be spent on that sort of thing.
