Can You Have Too Much Botox?
Yes according to Alex Kuczynski, the author of a book in which she explores our obsession with cosmetic surgery.
Due to her own dramatic experience when having one of many sessions of Botox injections she has now abandoned the procedure without question.
She herself was undergoing micro-dermabrasion on her face followed by an injection of Rystylane into her upper lip.
She suffered from an immediate adverse reaction to the drug and her mouth swelled up out of all proportion.
As she begins to analyze the cosmetic industry she remarks on the ideal body image that most women appear to be under the impression that they must achieve whatever the costs to their health or their wallet, or their husbands' wallet to be more accurate in many cases.
Images of impossibly beautiful women are with us everywhere we turn. The industry is full of doctors purporting to be cosmetic surgeons, some only possess a medical degree and have had little or no training in the speciality.
Many are making a small fortune from this kind of work so its no wonder that we are being put under this kind of pressure.
Although Ms. Kuczynski now denounces the whole ideal woman thing, she herself has admitted that she is finding it hard to come to terms with the fact that she is aging.
What a problem?
