That's my point, it's so new we know little to nothing about harmfull efects yet people are still jumping at the chance to have the local plastic surgion shove needles into their face. It just wories me, there are so many things that could go wrong especially when minipulating nature ... "It's not nice to fool with mother nature".

Indeed. It's just like when you see some new diet pill that boasts that it's "ephedra free".
Okay that's great...but I wonder what ELSE in that pill is harmful?

Personally I wouldn't get Botoxed but if somebody else wants to, that's their decision. *shrug*

But many people looked better before they get Botox. Sometimes they get too much injected and it makes their face look all stiff. It's rather disgusting.

You know the onnly reason that poeple have this done is beucase of the images the media give us that we have to look a certain way.

I would never have botox done to my face I like have expersisson you can also age very gracefully wihtout adn thoese that have for non medacil reason have some problemn that's in thier mind ( really disorder that is btw)
As for haveing done for medcail reason I ahd no idea but if has to be domne then it has to be done
