I shall begin - breast implants years ago because bust went saggy and flat. Implants put in and bust returned am now a 32G and very happy with it.
Started botox in 97 and was very impressed. Tried lip filler - a painful experience.
In 2008 had cheeks plumped. I went overboard with that and looked as though I had a tennis ball in each cheek. Sculptra in 2010 gave an excellent result and used beneath eyes to hide circles.
June went to Harrods and had more botox - excellent result with nice arched eyebrows.
Am considering facelift but not until thyroid is stabilised.
Found a wonderful way to lift droopy upper eyelids using eyelid tape - makes a huge difference is very inexpensive and easy to do.
I have a wig makers mannual and am just finishing a hair piece for extra volume.
Get thread veins zapped with diathermy - pretty cheap and quick to do

Wow good thread Jacks.
I was going to say I've had nothing done, except Lasik eye surgery 10 years ago, which was AMAZING (& still is)
Oh & I had a cyst removed from between my eyes, cos it looked as though I was sprouting a horn.
Got droopy eyes though- however, not got the money at present.
Got those on my face- hate them-so I'm going to google this.

Harrods only charge £45 for 15 minutes and Margaret has been doing mine there for over ten years. Droopy eyes respond nicely to eyelid strips £14 a box on Amazon

I have to honest and say that I've never had anything done. I do dye my hair, and I did try teeth whitening once (didn't work), but that's about it.
I've already had two eye surgeries (hole in the macular and then a cataract removal, both on the left eye), so anything like lasik surgery frightens the living daylights out of me, and I’m not eligible for it anyway, because of the surgeries I’ve had.
I guess I've always been lucky that people always assume that I'm younger than I am. Even now when I tell people I'm 53 they are always genuinely surprised and say they thought I was in my early 40s, so that always makes me feel good....lol...
Lately I have been considering having my eyebrows tattooed because I have very fair eyebrows and have to either tint them weekly or use eyebrow pencil. A friend recently got hers done when she was in Asia and they look great, but once again it terrifies me because what if I hate the way it looks when it's done.
Lately I've been developing that droopiness around the eyes and a bit of bagginess underneath my eyes, but I can't see myself ever doing anything about it.
Someone I worked with had her eyes done a while back, and she loves the result, but to me there is something not quite right about the way her eyes look now. She sort of has a "beady" look to her eyes now, which doesn't look natural, but she's happy, so that's the main thing.

Why don't you tint your brows? I do mine every week. I use the stuff made for mens beard growth and prep the coarse hairs before because they are colour resistant so I use hydrogen peroxide. I did think tattooing would be nice but I have heard olf it going purple when it fades.
I went grey in my twenties and have tinted my hairs since I was a teenager. My eyes got troublesome due to thyroid disease so no surgery until it is stabilised. I'm lucky with my neck though as it looks great.
I never wear what I call menopause clothes lol

Yeah, I did say that I tint them weekly, but I get fed up with doing that. Plus when I'm a little old lady with bad eyesight I'd hate to think that I'll have to be eyebrowless. Maybe I'll just have to get really big framed glasses so I can hide my eyebrows...lol...
I'm lucky that my friend is a hairdresser so she gets me the professional eyebrow tint, but it just doesn't last long enough.

That's okay. I tend to skim posts sometimes too and then I end up reading a post that doesn't even exist....lol....

I've done nothing - too much of a wimp for surgery (even if I could afford it) and I liked the colour of my hair anyway. Now it is going rapidly greyer I've had to adjust to thinking of myself less as a brunette. Living in a hot country has made it go lighter, so it looks as if I've had expensive streaks put in - for free!

I've had nothing done. Like Robyn I have had cataract surgery on both eyes and so I don't even need reading glasses now cos the kind surgeon gave me blended vision lenses. I made the decision to stop dyeing my hair after my mother died so I now have multicoloured hair. I have about six inches of silver hair then it blends into various shades of golden brown (I used to henna my hair). Woaca kindly cut off about a foot of my hair earlier in the year and is going to keep trimming it until all the colour is chopped off. My hair is still long though - shoulder length now instead of waist length. Woaca keeps teling me I am going to be a silver fox!  I am happy enough with my face. I also don't wear menopausal clothes. My daily uniform is sweat pants and fleece top in the house and slim cut straight leg dark navy jeans, ballet pumps and tshirt out of the house. I have a night out in a couple of weeks (album launch for a friend's band!) and plan on wearing a lined lace top with my jeans and some heels. Sorted. I hate fussy clothes. Woaca will vouch for that fact that I am a bit obsessive compulsive about my tiny wardrobe. I would rather do without that than buy something that is not right. I am so fussy you would not believe it. Is why I don't have a lot of clothes. |

No Harrods was £45 for the diathermy. The botox is reasonably priced however I had five zones done for £500

Lovey
I have slightly droopy jowls ( although the droop has improved with my thyroid medication reducing facial puffiness). Alas my botox doctor says the only way to fix it is via the scapel which I'm planning in the future.

I did try this once but it didn't work very well there.
