Is Everyone Secretly Getting Botox?

It’s no secret that most women want to look and feel their best. Magazines frequently offer skin-care and makeup tips, and many women readily share their beauty regimens with friends and family.

However, a large majority of female patients are hesitant to reveal that they’ve had Botox for 3 reasons.

1. DISAPPROVAL FROM THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER

Many women worry their significant others will assume that they will look plastic or overdone from Botox or other injectables.

Some have even heard their partners react negatively to female celebrities that have frozen faces or over-plumped lips and cheeks. As a result, these women are even more determined to keep their Botox a secret for fear of being judged themselves.

2. PERCEPTION THAT WOMEN SHOULD BE BORN WITH BEAUTY AND NOT BUY IT

“Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline” is a very recognizable slogan. Women may feel that using cosmetic products like Botox will cause others to view their beauty as less natural.

Additionally, most Botox users would like to maintain the perception that good genes and a healthy lifestyle have kept them youthful. 

3. WANTING TO LOOK BETTER THAN THEIR FRIENDS

Many patients use Botox because they believe that it will help them to look more attractive than their friends. They want smooth, glowing skin that sets them apart from others, while claiming it’s due to sleep, water, and exercise.

In fact, Botox can feel like it provides a competitive edge in defying the aging process. Some women fear that revealing this secret will cause them to lose an advantage over their contemporaries. 

However, a number of women have found that their friends and family members are undercover Botox users as well. More patients are unapologetically admitting to Botox because it makes them look and feel good, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
