    Honestly no judgement on whether people choose to get Botox or not I think it’s completely up to the person. However comparing Botox and skincare is ridiculous. It is absolutely not the same thing. Botox is not something that helps protect the skin which is our biggest organ. It is to stop wrinkles which are associated with ageing. Like I said if that’s something you want to do to your own body you’re totally entitled to do that but just do it don’t try and justify it under the guise of looking after your skin. Also this idea of needing to be wrinkle free in order to look fresh feeds into the idea that ageing is undesirable when it is just a fact of life. Like I said, do what you want to do and I really applaud you for encouraging people to get these procedures done by someone who really knows what they’re doing but don’t try and dress it up as something else.

    Just something to consider. My son gets Botox for a different reason. He has cerebral palsy and he gets Botox in his legs go relax muscles. Something you need to watch though is it can cause scar tissue. Scar tissue can’t be fixed. It might be something to question them about and make sure they aren’t injecting the same area to many times. Absolutely cheer on getting Botox for staying fresh but just wanted to give you a little of what I’ve learned.

      Another potential risk is ptosis - eyebrow or eyelid can become paralysed and droop horribly, until it wears off after several months. It can happen with any injector, but less with experienced injectors. It can happen when needle goes too deep around eyebrows, or when face is rubbed or slept on.

    • @hadassah6085
      @hadassah6085 Před 2 lety +2

      The jaw Botox can also have an unwanted side effect of paralysing muscles that help you smile - so can mess up your smile. I believe there is a danger zone, where risk is increased, same with eyebrows. Dr Tim Pierce - a UK Doctor (on youtube) is also good at talking about potential risks.

    No criticism or judgement as everyone is entitled to their opinion but I personally can easily see why someone may use sophisticated skincare and choose not to use botox. The side effects and considerations are very different so people may have good reasons why they don't use both x

    Caring for your skin with skincare is in no way the same as having Botox. You can do whatever you want but ageing as well as possible naturally and caring for your skin with creams etc is no where near the same as having medical treatments like Botox or fillers etc.

    • @cdubs412
      @cdubs412 Před 2 lety +22

      Nope. You care for the skin but it can only go so deep, Botox relaxes the muscles and filler does exactly what it says on the tin. Two very different things. You can never replicate what filler and Botox do with skincare. I don’t think there is anything wrong with getting Botox if you want to, I just don’t think it should be categorised with skincare.

    Thank you so much for talking about your procedures in this video! I had no idea it could fix a lazy eye - I have one too and it's not extreme and I had NO IDEA I could get it fixed. I'm learning so much about tiny improvements that I can make with myself and the space around me by watching your videos. I agree about always looking your best no matter what - that's why I'm interested in small improvements. I know I'm close to 40, but I want to be the best looking close to 40 year old that I can be!

      A fun fact for you - Botox as it is now known was invented by an Opthalmologist to treat Strabismus in the late 1970’s. It is injected into the eye muscles, I have had this treatmentfor double vision but unfortunately it only worked for me for a couple of weeks.

    It's also interesting to view these type of these procedures in context of your lifestyle....If most of your friends are getting botox, plastic surgery,etc then you will want to as well. if that is part of the norm. Like I wonder if Lydia was a successful software engineer in Austin, Texas...no crazy instagram or youtube following...still made plenty of money but just wasn't a public figure..would she even think about stuff like botox...because presumably she'd have friends/family who would be less worried about that stuff as well. I just say that to say, I think it's important to take a step back and assess if your desires are truly yours or a product of your environment. I'm an African American woman and the BBL (Brazilan butt lift) is quite a popular procedure in my culture. I think the majority of those who want a BBL live a certain lifestyle and are surrounded by others who really praise that body shape. However, for me, I don't live that lifestyle and thus have never even thought to do something like that. Again, i just think it's really intriguing how much your interests/desires can change based who you are around.

    Awww, your video made me miss England and Dr. Ayad so much!!! Your recommendation on nonsurgical rhinoplasty in one of your previous video's was how I found out about this type of procedure and so I went to Dr. Ayad to have it done this past July (4th of July on my brithday) and it was the best thing I could have done! I love Dr. Ayad and wish he traveled to the US for procedures!!! Also, I have been having botox done for about 10 years now and I can tell you it has been amazing at keeping static lines away. Those are the lines that dont go away even if you are not making expressions. Once those static lines are there you cant get rid of them, even with botox. I used to work at a medspa and always told my clients to start botox before those lines form to prevent them from etching in your skin. Good for you for getting on top of it and looking like the best version of yourself. I applaud you and support you Lydia. x

    I love it that you have shown your treatments good on you! Just letting you know my sister in law does Botox, she’s a clinical nurse and on me she uses individual syringes per section I only have 20 units inside information (the needles get blunt each time they go in therefore much more comfy having a needle per section). Also shouldn’t really drink prior or after treatment because of bruising. It’s working so well on you as you look stunning 🤩

    We don’t make decisions in a vacuum. The more people get Botox, the more women are expected to get Botox and an invasive medical procedure becomes normalized for our children…a “normal” woman’s face starts getting deemed not “fresh”. It’s not judgmental to say that how we behave (and particularly people in the public eye) impacts others. Appearance is becoming people’s whole identity and focus in life - it’s incredibly sad. We treat ourselves like objects.

And definitely with Dr Ayad. My husband has had facial paralysis which didn’t heal 100% and apparently that can be sorted with botox 👌 i also appreciate you being open and honest about ur procedures, some people might say it’s nobodies business but when you watch influencers on youtube and instagram and they are not transparent about their procedures it can make u feel a bit crap when u look in the mirror and wonder why u don’t look the same!!

    I started face yoga, gua sha and face taping two years ago, I turn 38 next month and I don't have a single line. The great thing about these exercises is they are risk free, completely natural and you don't freeze or weaken the muscle, so sagging won't occur over time, as can happen with botox. All for everyone choosing their own path to beauty, but thought this might be useful to anyone looking for alternatives practices that work!

      Botox is useful over 35- 40 only and under it is a waste of money.
      I started botox at age 42 with deep forehead wrinkle and it smoothes out perfectly with the first botox treatment.
      I am 46 now and my forehead is like the babyskin, I do botox twice per year.

    Thank you Lydia for showing the Botox process and being open enough to share that you do this. I’d love to know whether Ali also gets Botox? In his old videos he had some quite deep lines across his forehead, but these days his forehead looks perfectly smooth. Is that improvement entirely due to Hydra facials and moisturizer? Or does he also get a little help from Botox / any fillers etc? I feel like its much harder for males to be open about aesthetic procedures, but we are in 2022 and like I said before its all about personal choice - you both look incredible, so whatever you are doing its definitely working!

    I have been getting Botox for over 20 years. It was primarily because I wear eyeglasses and also have a tendency to look over the top of them. To stave off furthering the horizontal forehead line that results and then to actually diminish its appearance, this was a godsend. Botox is widely misunderstood. It is typically accompanied by a good skincare routine (at-home and in-clinic). Ive seen remarkable results for other issues treated with Botox. This happens when people go to Diamond level practitioners who are skilled, ethical and conservative.

    You look stunning as always, but the one thing that really I struggle to agree with is the sentence
    "I would question that person, why are you using one of those lovely skincare products as well, because essentially what botox does is the same kind of thing, it just looks after what is there and makes it look lovely for longer".
    I'm all up for doing botox, and I don't think that anyone should justify what are they doing botox.
    But Botox is not skin care,
    and the same way I don't think we should question anyone that does Botox why are they doing them, I wouldn't use the term "I would question them". The same way you have chosen to buy less bags but go with something more expensive, the same way someone can enjoy many expensive procedures that are less invasive.
    I'm saying all of that as a luxury lover and someone that is looking to get botox soon. My 2 cents would be "sometimes the way you explain things you do is less relatable, then you doing them". It's your life, we are choosing to follow you and watch what you do, you don't have to explain everything you do.
    Also Lazy Eye is something completely different, and it's referring to the eye ball and not your lid area.

Using too much medication can actually cause headaches (sounds crazy but it is true). It is a well-researched condition (I think doctors recommend 2 paracetamol a month or so). I took a "drug holiday" (recommended by my neurologist) for a month and it really changed the state & frequency of my migraines/headaches.

He told me it’s a doctors best friend and a game changer for a lot of people from over active bladders, excessive sweating to me and my migranes. People are too quick to judge because it’s “Botox”.

I had Botox between the age of 32~35 and have not needed it since ( I’m now 48). But filler’s availability and popularity is one of the worst things ever. So many beautiful young women end up looking botched, masculine and ridiculous. Such a shame 😓. The only thing that’s positive, is the past year it has become really popular to dissolve filler back to their natural beauty. Sadly this isn’t possible for everyone as it depends how far you’ve gone. And filled lips really only look good with a full face of makeup. I wish they all could see how beautiful and feminine they are without it ☹️💕. And having Botox in your tmj is a fantastic idea for you honey 💕.
