If you are a beautiful woman then you are more likely to fall into a particular ‘cosmetic trap’, according to a top skin specialist.
Dr Sam Ellis, a dermatologist from the US, has warned women about a mistake that she often sees in her practice affecting those in their late 30s and early 40s.
‘I call this the pretty person problem and I will straight up say this to my patients face,’ Dr Ellis said in a video.
‘With women who have been…on a one to ten scale of attractiveness…an eight through ten their entire life and they get to their late 30s early 40s and they start to see the first signs of ageing,
‘It might be crepey skin under their eyes or a little sallowness to their skin, something subtle sets them off on this path of “I need to do a bunch of cosmetic interventions to fix all of this”.’
Dr Ellis said the problem is that they do not need the procedures in the first place, but are getting them because they’ve always been ‘used to being so hot’.
‘When they start to see the slightest decrease of lip volume or the slightest little wrinkle they feel like they need to go hard on the page with every single cosmetic intervention,‘ the skin expert said.
‘I call this a trap because these are the people that get too much Botox, overfill their face will filler and end up looking weird when they used to be so f******* attractive.
Dr Sam Ellis, a dermatologist from California, has said that people who are used to be a perfect ‘ten’ in looks are more likely to overdo cosmetic procedures as they age in order to try to recapture their former perfection, but end up looking ‘weird’ instead
‘If you’re watching this and yov’ue always been considered by society attractive, don’t be modest, you know who you are, you really need to be careful when it comes to cosmetic treatments.’
The medical expert said pretty women shouldn’t be obsessed with making themselves a ‘ten out of ten’ again and needed to embrace imperfections.
‘Small asymmetries, little signs of aging…are what make you look like you and make you look normal, it is so much better to look older than to look weird,’ the dermatologist said.
Thousands of women were loving the expert’s advice and said it was a timely caution.
‘I needed to hear this,’ one said.
‘You are 100 per cent correct, it’s something we aren’t allowed to talk about,’ another added.
Many women agreed that aging had been hitting them hard, especially if they were particularly attractive in their younger years.
‘It’s a mind f***, when your whole life everyone has commented on your looks in a positive way and then you hit 40 and it slows down, you almost forget you’re worth more than just your face,’ one said.
‘It’s painful when you become invisible,’ another agreed.
‘Losing pretty privilege was hard for me. I’m 52 now, it’s getting a little better. The good thing is I never did anything cosmetic,’ a third added.
Some insisted that no amount of caution was going to detract them from having cosmetic intervention in middle age.
‘I’m getting a facelift at 45 for sure,’ one said.
‘I’m 62 and it’s been so hard. I’m not a 10 but I looked good in my youth! If I could afford it I would be getting every surgery in the book,’ another added.
But other women said they had found their looks had actually improved as they had gotten older, and others were glad they had never been that attractive to begin with.
‘Thank god I’ve always been a solid four,’ one said.
