If you’re a beautiful woman then you’re more likely to fall into a certain ‘cosmetic trap’, according to a leading dermatologist.
Dr. Sam Ellis, A US dermatologist has warned women about a mistake she often sees in her practice, affecting women in their 30s and 40s.
“I call it the pretty person problem and I tell my patients this directly,” Dr. Ellis said in a video.
‘With women who have been… on a scale of attractiveness from one to ten… from an eight to a ten their entire life and they get to their 30s, 40s and they start to see the first signs of aging,
‘It could be wrinkled skin under the eyes or a little bit of paleness in the skin, something subtle leads them down this path of ‘I need to get a lot of cosmetic work done to fix all of this.’
Dr. Ellis said the problem is that they don’t need the procedures in the first place, but they’re having them because they’ve always been “used to being so hot.”
“When they start to see even the slightest decrease in lip volume or the tiniest wrinkle, they feel like they need to go all out with every cosmetic intervention,” the skin expert said.
‘I call it a trap because these are the people who put too much Botox, put too much filler in their face and end up looking weird when they used to be so fucking attractive.
Dr Sam Ellis, a California dermatologist, has said that people who are used to looking “a perfect ten” are more likely to overdo cosmetic procedures as they age to try to regain their former perfection, but end up looking “weird”.
‘If you’re reading this and you’ve always been considered attractive by society, 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 beautiful women should not become obsessed with being a “ten out of ten” again and that they need to embrace their imperfections.
‘Small asymmetries, small signs of age… are what make you look like yourself and make you look normal, it is much better to look older than to look weird,’ said the dermatologist.
Thousands of women applauded the expert’s advice, saying it was a timely warning.
“I needed to hear this,” one said.
“You’re absolutely right, it’s something we’re not allowed to talk about,” added another.
Many women agreed that aging had hit them hard, especially if they were particularly attractive in their younger years.
“It’s crazy when your whole life everyone has commented positively on your looks and when you hit 40 everything slows down, you almost forget that you’re worth more than your face,” said one.
“It’s painful when you become invisible,” another agreed.
“Losing the privilege of being beautiful was very hard for me. I’m 52 now and I’m getting a little better. The good thing is that I never did anything aesthetically pleasing,” added a third.
Some insisted that no precautions would deter them from undergoing cosmetic surgery in middle age.
“At 45 I’m definitely going to get a facelift,” said one.
“I’m 62 and it’s been really hard. I’m not a 10, but I looked good when I was younger. If I could afford it, I’d have all the surgeries possible,” added another.
But other women said they had found their looks had improved as they got older, and others were glad they hadn’t been so attractive to begin with.
“Thank God I’ve always been a solid four,” said one.
