TheresJustNoMoney

To those of you who underwent Plastic Surgery to look younger: How old were you on the day of the operation, how old did you want to appear again, how old did you get to appear again, how much did it cost, and in what year?

Would you recommend Plastic surgery to anyone like myself? I'm 40 but want to appear 25 this year, because I wish I was born in 2000, and would like to seem like a Gen Z born then.

Also, where did said Surgery take place? Would Thai Plastic surgeons still be recommendable even when low-priced?

Try starting with a shrink first.

Why must I see a shrink before plastic surgery?

Do you know how much more hireable I'll look if I look younger?

You know how older job seekers take longer to land jobs, right? That's why I will refuse to let myself look old. It'll start with coloring my grays to my natural youthful color.

No argument from me, point well taken.

That’s skill set dependent. I landed my current job two+ years ago in my 60s. I doubled my salary. I had the needed skills and experience.

Also. Trying to look 25 is going to look plastic. You’re trading credibility for what? You really do need to talk to a therapist about your unrealistic expectations.

Never ever considered it. My looks or age were never a factor in my career, at least not a factor that held me back.

Every line and wrinkle on my face, along with the additional chin and additional 30 lbs. I seemed to acquire along the way, are hard earned and I wouldn’t erase them for the world.

Don’t know anything about Thai plastic surgeons, but I would assume you get what you pay for. Unfortunately for most women, it seems like what the get is skin so smooth and tight they can’t smile and always have a blank look on their face, regardless of who did it.
