Lately, I read an article on Botox and it got me thinking. The article wrote about how Botox can help you lose your wrinkles and your friends. Britain’s The Times reported that women who use Botox are sending the wrong social signals because their frozen facial muscles make it difficult for them to express the normal range of emotions. We don’t’ know how true is that, but if we’re only thinking about the physical beauty Botox can help transform our lives, that’s only a positive social impact, surface.

Whilst being obsessed about anti-aging, some of us have truly forgotten the negative social impact. What if we’re not able to frown, look angry and sad and struggle to show empathy? You lose that personal touch, you become cold, would Botox be worth it then? Other than that, I’ve seen many people spend crazy amounts of money doing Botox. Some of them even buy themselves tickets to Taiwan and Korea to do it, they say they’re more experienced there. Of course, some came back looking gorgeous, but there are those who came back regretting. Those who never looked prettier, became more and more obsessed with their looks and became more trusting on cosmetic surgery.

Think, think and think before you do it! Also think of the notion of ‘Aging gracefully’ and if you still need to do it, do a million times of research.
