Yeah, that information about fillers would creep me out. And is it fillers that give women those weird puffy lips? Talk about a fake look! I was at a function recently where a plastic surgeon was there with his wife, some of their friends and his ex-wife as well. When they turned sideways all the women all had these protruding lips.

Nice that your brother wants to repeat the visit!

Technically I had "Ozempic Face" after losing 100 pounds post-VSG, but honestly I needed to lose that face - I had a round pumpkin face at my max weight and I hated it. Yes, I had sags and jowls afterwards but that is because I had stretched the skin out (I did have a mini facelift back then).

I think you look wonderful as you are!
I am glad my self-worth wasn't built on youthful good looks, though at the time I wished I had them! How traumatic if it was and then the inevitable happens and your foundation crumbles?
(Aside, the gay male community has this thing about youthful appearances - and thinness - that can be so destructive! It's like women's concerns about aging and weight times 1000.)
Glad to know there is someone who gets it... It is hard sometimes not being one of the "beautiful people" in the gay world. Even in the dog show world there is a gay clique of beautiful people to which I do not belong... It's fascinating how that superficial part of the gay culture can permeate so many aspects of even 'non gay' life....

There is a plastic surgeon I saw on Instagram talking about how the idea that fillers dissolve over time or can be easily dissolved with a shot is very wrong. He talked about doing facelifts on people who had used fillers and opening their faces to find filler EVERYWHERE aside from where it was placed. That's why people get pillow/alien faces with too many fillers. It just spreads. Made me not want to do them! My bff just got them and I think they look very fake and puffy. (Aside, the gay male community has this thing about youthful appearances - and thinness - that can be so destructive! It's like women's concerns about aging and weight times 1000.) I would much rather look like Helen Mirren or Meryl Streep in my later years than Meg Ryan or Madonna! A long-winded way to say you look beautiful just as you are, DD! You all do!
I have been cleaning today as my cousin David is coming to stay either tomorrow or Sunday depending on whether he is able to stop to see a college friend whose mother is ill. Cleaning up dog hair and dog dirt is a full time job! I also hate dog smell, so I end up washing everything not nailed down.
Very cloudy, windy and cool here. Perfect cleaning weather.
I think that's me for the day. Take care!
Oh that's lovely that your DB is planning more visits. When we visited our niece in San Diego I thought we should have done this sooner, and we won't wait so long to return. Perhaps your brother feels the same.
