Feelings regarding plastic surgery?

I'm strongly considering it because let's be real here I'm not getting any younger and these new and younger girls are taking all the money and stepping onto my turf

There's lots of de-aging massages. That'll feel MUCH better than getting plastic surgery. You could also keep up a skincare routine for aging as well. I think acupuncture is what you need, but I am not a professional in the massage area. This massage is extremely low-priced and doesn't costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Depending on where you live, around $100, lower or less.

@Xalvadora That likely has limited results, kind of like most new-age treatments.

I tell ya though, when one is young they do not think they are going to "age" but then when it starts happening, it really sucks.

I look at pics of myself from like 10 or more years ago and think, "Damn I looked young."

@CestManan That kind of scares me. The other day, I had came to the conclusion that I'll be old and look old and that scared me. Maybe because I'm not supposed to be thinking about that, and only embrace it once I start to look like I'm getting old.

Don't get plastic surgery. There are people out there who are allergic to whatever the surgeons put under your skin in order to make you look what you wanted to look like. Don't take that risk. Not only there's a possibility of you being allergic to plastic surgery, but there could also be many health problems if you get plastic surgery. It's not worth it.

What if that plastic kills you in the long-run? It'd be your fault because you didn't want to look old. Besides, as you grow older (like into 70's and 80's), you'll be unrecognizable and look like a hot mess that makes people think that you're wearing way too much makeup. You don't want to look worse than old. Besides, what if your teeth start falling out earlier than expected? Your hair? What if you started suffering from very poor eyesight where you're almost blind? What if it affects your breathing and you have to have an oxygen tank?

But at the end of the day, there would be no point in trying to convince you not to get plastic surgery. People just have to learn from their mistakes.

@Xalvadora I am not planning on any plastic surgery. I could not afford it even if I wanted.
It doesn't mean I want to look older but it cannot be stopped either way.

Plastic surgery to fight aging is basically polishing a turd. It might help a bit but yeah there are parts of the aging process that just cannot be hidden no matter how much one spends.

For the aging process though, the least one can do is at least stay off the drugs, booze, and tobacco. I know that sounds cliche and corny but those things really do cause people to age faster.
Also minimizing stress helps. Yeah some people work themselves to death and it shows.
