@@anjanewkirk Parents who are bonkers have sadly always existed, but for it to be legal and for someone to not contact CPS instead of taking the money and inject a child is crazy making.
The absolute WORST part was she admitted that SHE was injecting her child, but she said it as if that was going to make it better or okay?? Like ma’am I’m fairly certain you’re not a Dr. / physician / certified medical professional with the KNOWLEDGE necessary to perform the administration of the Botox with minimal risks possible
100% that kind of mother is attempting to live their life through proxy by her child. They're no more than an extension of their parent - not even a human in their own right. There's no way an 8 year old should be worried about wrinkles!
CPS is nothing to play with. They don't really send those kids to better homes. People really have to look at other steps before ripping a child away from their parents. You may not agree, but calling that abuse is debatable.
@@TheRealShaneligans It is absolutely abuse. 1) Child is not old enough to consent. 2) Botox is a deadly TOXIN! Sure, it's in small amounts, but the more you have, the higher chance you have of building up a resistance or worse, an allergic reaction. Starting at such a young age puts her at an even higher risk.
I love your term "senior face". I have always cringed at referring to my face as looking old, because "what's old?". Was my face old when I turned 40, 50, 60, or when I turned 70? Now in my mid-70's I see my grandmother in the mirror. That's okay, I loved her. She wore that face and I loved how she looked, thus I can love it on me as well. And being "senior" is a privilege. I won't try to look young, only the best I can at this age. Keeping my skin care up, eating well and exercising. This is good for my present body and future one. Just take care of yourselves, go organic and know your water source.
My mom’s face has changed enough recently for people to finally treat her more carefully as she’s “older”. I am seeing how she responds to looking “old”; and I never want her to feel that she needs to change. She is so beautiful, there is nothing to fix, she is also very active and focused on enjoying life, the world she sees rather than what she wants the world to think. ❤
I was a nanny for a plastic surgeon in my 20’s in the early-mid 2000’s and he told me I didn’t need Botox, and if I decided to get it to wait until my late 30’s. He saw even then that ”preventative” botox was becoming a selling point. I’m so glad I took his advice. I had botox a couple of times at different areas of my forehead in my late 30’s and just didn’t like the frozen forehead look on myself. I like being able to emote, and at 43 barely have any fine lines on my face. I noticed if I’m dehydrated they tend to show up more and that’s when I know to drink more water. I also think women look so beautiful when they smile and their eyes crinkle. I think “crows feet” specifically are look so good when women have them.
I agree. I've had some botox, but never wanted it for crows feet, which look very nice I think. I'm a photographer, so I look at a lot of smiles and when you disrupt that natural anatomic function, it looks very weird.
I agree 100% about the crows feet. I made a mistake this year of getting more than usual on routine spots and added the crows feet. Biggest mistake!! When I smiled, it looked fake and I was miserable! I will never have my crows feet treated again. ** it also made my eyes feel lazy (which makes sense considering how close the botox is to the eyes) I felt insecure about my smile & anxious with my lazy eyes. It was awful
Crows feet are sooo beautiful. When I started getting them in my early 20's, I started to freak out until I looked at my whole face and realized they enhanced my smile. Also, have you seen Audrey Hepburn when she was elderly? She is absolutely stunning, ESPECIALLY with her crow's feet ❤
When I was in my 20's, I was a hairdresser. I will NEVER forget one of my coworkers telling me I'm so pretty but, I have lines on my forehead. I'm 57 now. I still don't care about the lines on my forehead!
I had someone say the same thing. They said I was really pretty, but I’d be even prettier if I had some Botox between my eyebrows and in my naso-labial folds. I said, nope. Those are inherited from my dad. You do you boo and stop judging me.
@@dinaheath I know! Right? The audacity. I guess we have to look past their words and realize it’s coming from a place of insecurity or judgment from the devil.
Just want to say that at 58, with jowls, pronounced tear troughs, crows feet, skin sagging and grey hair, I just love aging. Had cancer at 42 and don't waste one moment worrying about aging. Love who you are.
@lemondrop7305 Wow, again such LOW standards for men. If you're a man who doesn't speak up to protect your child so as not to "risk the marriage" you are just as abusive as the mom putting Botox in her young daughter's face. That isn't a man. That's a little boy.
Yes! It's really ugly, I don't get it at all why anyone would want to look like that. And I do have botox 😂 I love what it can do when used with comon sense. I obviously can move my eyebwows in all directions just not as much into the middle as without botox and the frown lines are nearly gone. Of course my eyes crinkle when I smile, just when I don't the crow feet are nearly gone. And obviously I can move my mouth normally I just don't pull down the corners of my mouth without even realiting until someone asks why I look so grumpy when I'm not grumpy at all. I told tbe surgeon that's the effects I want and thats what I got. I repeat it every year or every two years, because the anti wrinkle effect stays much longer as the botox.
FYI, my mom had a syndrome where her eyes would close involuntarily and 30 yrs ago they used Botox in her lids so she could drive a car. There was/is a good use for this stuff guys.
@@herpaderp-bp4pe Indeed. I get botox for severe chronic migraines. Without botox injections I have attacks with stroke-like symptoms and severe pain almost every day.
Thank you so much for telling this truth about this "anti-aging" nonsense. My face is a good mix of my late Mom and Dad, plus all my ancestors. I am pretty proud of it!!! (I turn 70 next week).
1.Please please please go to a professional with a medical license PLEASE 2.If you're giving your child botox, that is child abuse and I hope someone calls CPS. We only get to be a kid once and that is robbing that child of her most carefree years. Shame on her!
There are lots of abhorrent things adult people are doing to children in the name of beauty or mental health. We need to protect our children from barbaric decisions made by adults. I’m not going to get political here but c’mon it doesn’t take a genius to understand the monstrosity of altering children. ☮️
i love your straightforwardness, the fact that you give good reasonings behind your opinions, and the fact that you don't overreact to the outrageous things even though you stress how outrageous they are
Hearing young ladies say they think they need Botox before 21 years old because they feel like they look old is so sad! Sadly, getting Botox so young actually is making the young ladies look much older (in a bad way). I just wish our society embraced women aging and we uplifted each other on the journey. It’s a huge blessing to live to be old, many would have given anything to do so!
We see 15yo coping the make of Instagram models making they look a decade older…. then they go and use Botox and fillers in their late teens and early 20s making they look two decades older. Is a feedback loop cause they’ll never be happy with the results. 😢
@Bryn_G_Mamq_of_3 I totally agree with your comment. Making it to old age IS a blessing and a privilege not everyone gets to make it to. Historically, that fact was definitely in everyone's face more because of just how much harder just surviving was. Our ancestors had to work unbelievably hard just to survive every single day and even with all they did, there is never escaping the fact that luck also plays a major part in who survives and who doesn't. THIS fact is the very reason religion came about and is so important to humans (having a belief system that is centered on the idea of a power greater than oneself because accepting the major part of living that is beyond your control helps people accept difficult facts like this (and this may even be the biggest fact that is rooted in many mental/emotional health issues (ie existential crises is often a major aspect if not part of the root of major depression, extreme anxiety and panic attacks (if someone is really struggling with anxiety which is fear evolving around a lack of control/recognizing when they have agency and control over something that is stressful to them and when they dont have control and must accept that they dont control what happens or is happening etc/ dealing with other people having control when they don't etc/ this is just a part of root causes of anxiety issues) Anyway, il getting a little carried away, so all this just to say that it is sad how society got to a point where it taught women how their looks are the most important thing about them in attracting a mate and attention and have WORTH and that to be considered attractive they have to look a very specific way and do anything to alter their face and body to match the aesthetic (I think I'm misspelling this word but I think it's close enough that you know what I'm meaning to say. I'm an English major and a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my writing anything but I've been blanking A LOT and making a lot of minor mistakes when writing and mispronounced words- some of it is a worsening of my dyslexia which I think might be because of pregnancy brain. I'm 8 months pregnant - sorry for the tmi) that society has dictated to them. Women (as well as men), are truly missing out on the beauty of the aging process. It does not have to be feared and it does not need to be fought. (It will come for you anyways and it always gets what it wants lol) pagans actually have a beautiful outlook on aging. Esp for women.
other than saying he’s reacting to “this” video does he even credit her? he doesn’t even link to her original content in the description I understand this is informational and transformative of the original content but I’m very disappointed that he is not openly crediting her work
Thank you Dr Linkov for what you do. I am 45, and I have had Botox injections few times since my early 40s… I trust my providers and I love how I look. Thank you for the education without fear mongering. I also appreciate the compassion.
This is me at 58, still saying I’m never going to have any work done. I hate the fact that so many woman tend to favor one another now. Where is the uniqueness anymore? LOVE your channel as always ☺️! 🌸
same - i have battled acne for decades and went to a really good dermatology clinic that offered 'free' wrinkle shots. i told them that's the normal that i want to keep for as long as possible. heartbreaking that these people will NEVER know what they would have naturally looked like over time. if i want a plastic face...i better have hands and a neck to match, so i'll wait a few more decades. ;)
People have always followed trends….even the trend of thinking “this generation is worse than older generations” in any context. You can’t even have a unique thought but are on here asking where is the uniqueness….lmao
@ Bless your heart. I’m not sure how I could’ve survived the rest of this week without your incredibly meticulous insight into my opinion. Happy Holidays! 🌸
Great video. I had botox during my 30's and stopped. Now 58 and still coming to terms with my ageing face. However, I refuse to bow to societal pressure to not age! It is a daily practice to be comfortable with it. As an Australian we grew up under harsh sun which is the biggest problem for me. Also as an Australian I love that you are using Stephanie's channel - she really does her research and provides a fresh approach!
This is why you go to professionals for Botox and fillers y’all. It’s not* a DIY craft project. And omg, Botox on children beyond medical use is child abuse. Edit: ** just had to add it a word I missed 😅
There is a middle ground imho: starting Botox in your fourties when lines start to become static and focusing on areas where botox makes a positive difference, like for the "11" frown lines (avoiding a permanent angry expression), a sensible dose, done by a professional injector.
Maybe avoiding looking angry all the time will prevent those lines too. When I was a child my mother said: don’t look angry because it will bevome permanent! Now at 55 I have lots of wrinkles, not a permanent angry face but many laugh lines
@@Prosperofcourseis not like people choose to be angry, worried, sad, etc. Your mom meant well but is a tad insensitive to say “is your fault your wrinkles don’t look cuter, maybe you should have smiled more”.
Wrinkles are just a sign of maturity and does not imply being less attractive. It is natural to age and that naturality can be seen to be just as much or even more attractive or beautiful than a youthful appearance.
I get your sentiment and ageing of the skin shouldn't be some thing to avoid at a costs, but in reality most people find skin without wrinkles or with minimal wrinkles to be most attractive
@@inanimatemist8610Who are "most people"? Why are you making assumptions of what other people think based off of your own personal beliefs? Social media ageism and societal standards of beauty are not "most people".
@herpaderp-bp4pe People value youth and beauty, I could list many reasons and examples, such as human biogical reasons, also your comment makes no sense, society standards exist because they represent general ideas of most of the populous, and various froms of media are created and made to represent widely seen social values in the populous
The sad thing about what that eight-year-old girl would never know about Botox had the mother not been so insecure and complained and whined in front of her only to make suggestions passively or directly. Either way it’s abuse!
People forget their looks are not a picture, frozen looks weird, even from a facelift it can effect your movement which is eerie. If you are trying to make a person that sees you perceive you well that plastic surgery isn't working the way you think. Humans are really good at reading things that are strange about your expression.
@@thiacari Yeah I think doing things like ballet really takes care of your posture. You can do it as a kid and that will remain with you the rest of your life. Also good skincare is way more important than having no wrinkles. People are so obsessed they think not having wrinkles make you look youthful and good, no, wrinkles are fine, laughlines make you look nice and aproachable.
@@thiacari Do you mean Tai chi? Actually one of the first things you learn in ballet as a little kid is to tuck your "bum" in and shoulders should be back and neutral and your neck long. Putting your shoulders back is something tons of people need in this computer/phone age and it helps you breathe properly and keeps your spine straight and avoids the neckpain so many suffer from because they are making a hump from typing. The elderly are especially prone to it as the spine sinks in so you should always try to keep your shoulders back and your head up. All kids should learn proper posture.
I always love you and Stephanie coming together to speak the truth! She’s such a great content creator and I love when you guys bounce opinions off of eachother and double down on the real deal when it comes to the good, the bad, and the unfortunately ugly/scary side of plastic surgery/injections/fillers/Botox.. Merry Christmas, thanks for educating so many :)
I'm less than 4 minutes in watching this video, and it is probably the most sensible video I've ever seen. Thanks for posting, and have a Merry Christmas.
This is a great analysis. I am a fan of both of you and I really like your commentary/responses because you’re very respectful and if you disagree with anything, you explain it in a logical way :) keep up the amazing work!
The kid must be taken away from the mother and jail that woman for child abuse. These kids can't be kids without narcissistic parents giving their children complexes.
DIY Botox kits at the pharmacy???!!!! People don’t know where it’s safe to inject and no manual could be big enough to cover everything you’d need to know. I’m a pharmacist and I guarantee you, people would bring it up to ask for counseling - no way, sorry all, but I don’t know where to put it either. And doing that to kids is criminal and I’m glad they got that mom’s face on the show. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m judging her.
Dr. Linkov, We knew a child in the 1980’s who contracted botulism from improperly canned vegetables. She was in ICU fighting for her life. It left an indelible mark on us. She survived and recovered. When this trend began, I couldn’t imagine injecting a poison into the skin for surface beauty. 🤷♀️. Accept aging.
I mean, you can die of water poising and still you need to drink water daily, so this is not an argument that is really useful... same goes for basically all other things in life AND certain poisons, like digitalis, which is highly dangerous, but really helpful for certain heart problems (I HATE Botox and fillers, would ever get it, just pointing it out.)
I was mortified when I saw myself in photos after my last Botox treatment. Last year when I was 65 years old, I got Botox for my forehead, crowfeet, and between my eyebrows. In photos, my upper face was smooth and my lower face was sagged and lined, (dynamic wrinkles). I looked like the friggen' Joker (or the Grinch). That's when I told myself "never again;" It's time to accept reality.
I got botox and lip filler twice. After watching your videos, i am considering not getting them again. It has been 6 months already, so far i am happy with my look. Exercising more helped. Might change my mind in summer again, hopefully not
Botox user for about 5 years but for migraines. I'm now at every 8 weeks since it wears off so quickly. My neurologist injects me and even then I've had ptosis once. It's amazing for helping with migraines but it's always a concern for longer term use. Love the video and channel. Thanks!
Aging is a privilege and I'd much prefer to emote and not fixate on developing wrinkles. Honestly, avoiding the sun, wearing sunscreen, staying hydrated, eating nutritiously, moisturizing, and not smoking is enough for the majority of people to avoid premature aging if it's a concern.
absolutely - i was raised being told that a vanity obsession is a personality flaw. in/out hydration has also been a key for me. i am not against being/doing anything very responsibly, and legally - as long as mental health is strong.
There’s people who use your first sentence as an excuse to not do anything in terms of counteracting aging. If you’re not into Botox, then don’t, but personally, I do everything above, including Botox…which I get once a year, and it’s removed static lines in my forehead.
@BadMannerKorea and there's absolutely nothing wrong with people "doing nothing to counteract aging". As a society we need to let people age in peace and stop looking down on people (women especially) who choose to do it naturally. You're welcome to do whatever you want with your body, but recognize that not everyone has to or wants to do the same thing - and there's nothing wrong with that
@@dreadwolfrising Yeah and I already said you can do whatever you want, including the people who don’t do anything, but unfortunately I already most likely do and will look better for my age than you: : )
@BadMannerKorea that's not a very kind thing to say, is it? I think rather than putting others down you need to develop empathy and not be so judgemental based on appearances. (And FYI, people mistake me for being a teenager all the time but nice try 😘) Edit bc yt flagged me as spam: hun I have better things to do than argue in the yt comment section. Look inward
I’ve been getting Botox for about 5/6 years now (I’m 31), I was a chronic frowner and it just gave me the absolute worst resting B face, I feel it makes me look freshener and I only get it every 6 or so months so I still get full movement back. What I find fascinating is the medicinal uses of Botox in the body beyond cosmetics, a lot of people don’t realise just how many different things it can treat. But it’s sad and scary how many people abuse it and take risks in the name of beauty
When the sun is out I never leave home without sunglasses so I don't squint my eyes or frown. This has helped me alot in keeping my face smooth. i'm soon 42.
Stephanie Lange has grown into a real voice for women loving their natural selves. She is a former makeup artist who has had some “tweakments” as she calls them. Young women (any women) struggling with image would be encouraged by her videos. They might even get mad at the industry that has profited from their pain.
It’s sad that smile lines are now considered “bad” and must be prevented/fixed. A lot of these dynamic wrinkles turn static over time due to the emotions we show, and I don’t see how having smile lines or crows feet around the eyes are bad when all they are evidence of happy memories. I absolutely crinkle my eyes and open my mouth when I have a good laugh, and when I’m older if my face shows that then at least my children and grandchildren will know that I’ve experienced happiness! On a side note…your voice is so soothing. Sometimes I just put on your video to fall asleep
Ive had dysport 1x at my dermatologist. I felt sick for a week after, extreme fatigue. I never did it again because it was scary and the doctor tried to tell me i must just have a cold. I know my body, it was the drug.
I appreciate your honesty. You aren't sugar coating it even as a plastic surgeon. People always think if they go to experienced injector they are safe... Not always.
Even highly experienced injectors (like in my case) can do a lot of damage in conjunction with some hidden problems in the patient's bodies. I had had 2x glabela botox without any problems. Then to the forehead and glabela-consequence? Two months after the injection, still swollen eyes every morning, brow ptosis, eyelid ptosis, droopy eyes - still now. I experienced blurred vision, and a headache for three weeks. Not to mention, I still can't move my forehead at all for two months. But the wrinkles I wanted to remove the most, the glabella ones are BACK after 8 weeks.And by the way, through my own stupidity, I let the doctor convince me that it would be better to do a forehead botox as well. I just wanted glabella. The worst part is, she laughed at my fear that this could happen. And that if the previous doctor told me that, if she was even a doctor. And here I am...with all the mentioned above and.... without a plane ticket,which I could have bought with the money I spent on botched botox. Watch out. Botox is not for everyone. And definitely not for me. I may know better now, but at what cost?
I just got Botox for migraines for the first time last week. I didn't realize that among the 31 standard injections are 3 around the eyebrows. I told my doctor I was worried about getting 'reality star face' and the told me not to worry about that. She encouraged me to do it anyway because this is part of the therapeutic standard injections and I should get the full treatment. She said we are doing a much lower dose and that reality star face won't happen. But it's totally happening!! I had no wrinkles before this. And now that my eyebrows are mostly paralyzed, there's all these weird bumps and creases on my forehead when i'm trying to emote. And it fucking hurts, actually. When I'm just chilling on my own I don't have pain, but if I'm having a conversation and just laughing along normally, I get a bunch of pain in my forehead I guess cause the muscles can't move. It's really horrible. I hate the way it looks and I never signed up for this. It totally makes me look older. It hurts. I wish I could reverse it.
@@rin-eri I get them to do it in the hairline and near the ears, from a pain clinic, mine come from jaw clenching, and that nerve can give you migraines, just a thought it may be the same for you. It's so much money.
I’ve had my first Botox and I love it, I don’t have too much and can still express myself but it’s helped stop my overly expressive face, which I’m also trying to reduce through therapy because I’m overly performative when anxious (every day lol) I think it’s about having an ethical practitioner and a healthy relationship with procedures
Great video! I'm so happy that people are finally talking about the negatives of getting injections more (especially when you're very young). But even if it might "backfire" one day - I will never ever stop getting my masseters botoxed every 5-6 months, cause I'd rather look a bit aged than ruining my teeth and having constant headaches again.
Love this balanced reaction. I think botox can be a really great thing when used appropriately. I started getting a very small amount twice a year in my late 30s to soften frown lines and I'm really happy with the result. I didn't enjoy having resting angry face.
Child abuse. Pagents outlawed. Causing muscles to atrophy at 8 years old is insane. She will look 80 at 20 Edits for spelling ( it said parents, I meant padgents) still not sure on spelling 😅
This is why I prefer to watch British tv shows. The people look normal, have normal faces, normal wrinkles, can make normal expressions, have normal teeth and smiles. The obsession with look plastic is disturbing. I'm not against people doing what they want but I think once somebody starts it's a slippery slope. People don't notice the things we don't like about ourselves as much as we think they do. I prefer a face with character. Botox on children is diabolical. Those parents should be charged.
Pretty sure I’ve seen a British program precisely about British people getting cosmetic surgery/botox/fillers. Anyone know which series I’m talking about? It was a while ago and I can’t remember the title. Anyway, it’s everywhere. Yes, even in Britain. The actors you think are “natural” have gotten tweaked in some way. It’s kind of silly thinking otherwise. 🤭
@@stevnicoe Love Island UK and Geordie Shore for me are examples of what you said. I don't think Kerry realises the UK has filler face even worse than the USA. I'm Aussie and we're starting to get it bad here too
I have botox because otherwise the wrinkle on my forehead makes me look as if I was angry when, in fact, I’m not. At first, I wasn’t aware of that, but my daughter started to ask me what she’d done and why I was angry. I found a great doctor who uses only a small amount so my face looks natural and not like a doll’s.
Dr. Linkov, some of your reactions when Stephanie was discussing the Kardashian’s not being able to properly smile or show facial expressions was hilarious!! I’m really glad it was addressed though because all of the Botox and filler certainly keeps Kim, Kylie, and the like from looking natural in any way, it’s really sad. Thanks for another really great video! I’m scared of Botox, but I know women younger than myself who use it. I, on the other hand, stick to Frownies and Retinol deep wrinkle cream with Hyaluronic acid . 😁
My younger sisters get botox regularly on their foreheads and between their eyebrows. Their eyebrows are arched and wonky. Sometimes one eyebrow moves strangely while they talk. Personally I think Botox makes them look older.
16:50 I get injections for migraines and severe clenching while I sleep. Somewhat concerned with long term effects, but cannot go back to being in pain everyday.
I love your presentations, Dr. Linkov. I have used botox and fillers since my fifties - only rarely. I wanted to get a facelift, but since I have Diabetes T2, the Plastic Surgeon I consulted discouraged me (which is understandable). I am now in my sixties, and I hope that with better control of my blood sugars I will be able to get the facelift I've been wanting. I'd like to learn your opinion, Dr. Linkov, of facelifts for people with Diabetes. Thank you, :)
Children having Botox should be illegal. I can’t imagine it not having a negative effect on her growth and development much less her mental state. The mother said she gives her the shots. She and whomever she gets Botox from should be arrested.
Thank you Dr. Gary, I am glad your hammering this home here. I really dislike when women with a beautiful face ruin it with those fillers and botox. I think blowing up their lips and putting on big thick brows makes a person look ugly because it does not look natural. If you naturally have thick lips, my daughter does, I do not, or thick brows, which i did in my twenties, is fine and looks natural because it is !

@@anjanewkirk Parents who are bonkers have sadly always existed, but for it to be legal and for someone to not contact CPS instead of taking the money and inject a child is crazy making.
The absolute WORST part was she admitted that SHE was injecting her child, but she said it as if that was going to make it better or okay?? Like ma’am I’m fairly certain you’re not a Dr. / physician / certified medical professional with the KNOWLEDGE necessary to perform the administration of the Botox with minimal risks possible
What disturbs me is that they are procreating and multiplying 😑
I love how passionate you got over that woman abusing her child. You're right about child pageants needing to be banned.
10000%!!!

CPS is nothing to play with. They don't really send those kids to better homes. People really have to look at other steps before ripping a child away from their parents. You may not agree, but calling that abuse is debatable.
@@TheRealShaneligans It is absolutely abuse. 1) Child is not old enough to consent. 2) Botox is a deadly TOXIN! Sure, it's in small amounts, but the more you have, the higher chance you have of building up a resistance or worse, an allergic reaction. Starting at such a young age puts her at an even higher risk.
I love your term "senior face". I have always cringed at referring to my face as looking old, because "what's old?". Was my face old when I turned 40, 50, 60, or when I turned 70? Now in my mid-70's I see my grandmother in the mirror. That's okay, I loved her. She wore that face and I loved how she looked, thus I can love it on me as well. And being "senior" is a privilege. I won't try to look young, only the best I can at this age. Keeping my skin care up, eating well and exercising. This is good for my present body and future one. Just take care of yourselves, go organic and know your water source.
I don’t know you or what you look like, but you describe self confidence which is the most beautiful type of beauty. You ARE beautiful 💜 at every age

I was a nanny for a plastic surgeon in my 20’s in the early-mid 2000’s and he told me I didn’t need Botox, and if I decided to get it to wait until my late 30’s. He saw even then that ”preventative” botox was becoming a selling point. I’m so glad I took his advice. I had botox a couple of times at different areas of my forehead in my late 30’s and just didn’t like the frozen forehead look on myself. I like being able to emote, and at 43 barely have any fine lines on my face. I noticed if I’m dehydrated they tend to show up more and that’s when I know to drink more water. I also think women look so beautiful when they smile and their eyes crinkle. I think “crows feet” specifically are look so good when women have them.
I agree. I've had some botox, but never wanted it for crows feet, which look very nice I think. I'm a photographer, so I look at a lot of smiles and when you disrupt that natural anatomic function, it looks very weird.
I agree 100% about the crows feet. I made a mistake this year of getting more than usual on routine spots and added the crows feet. Biggest mistake!!
When I smiled, it looked fake and I was miserable! I will never have my crows feet treated again.
** it also made my eyes feel lazy (which makes sense considering how close the botox is to the eyes)
I felt insecure about my smile & anxious with my lazy eyes. It was awful
I find crows feet to be so attractive. It’s so beautiful in women. I’m 47 and still waiting for mine to kick in lol.
Crows feet are sooo beautiful. When I started getting them in my early 20's, I started to freak out until I looked at my whole face and realized they enhanced my smile. Also, have you seen Audrey Hepburn when she was elderly? She is absolutely stunning, ESPECIALLY with her crow's feet ❤
You lot are crazy. Crows feet do not look nice on anyone, no matter how attractive they are.
When I was in my 20's, I was a hairdresser. I will NEVER forget one of my coworkers telling me I'm so pretty but, I have lines on my forehead. I'm 57 now. I still don't care about the lines on my forehead!
lines LINES on the forehead… people should stop looking at pictures and drawings and comparing them to real life human beings
I had someone say the same thing. They said I was really pretty, but I’d be even prettier if I had some Botox between my eyebrows and in my naso-labial folds. I said, nope. Those are inherited from my dad. You do you boo and stop judging me.
@@Meggzy3 Don't you wonder what's wrong with people sometimes? I can't imagine telling someone they need a procedure to improve on their looks!
She was just hating on you.
@@dinaheath I know! Right? The audacity. I guess we have to look past their words and realize it’s coming from a place of insecurity or judgment from the devil.
Just want to say that at 58, with jowls, pronounced tear troughs, crows feet, skin sagging and grey hair, I just love aging. Had cancer at 42 and don't waste one moment worrying about aging. Love who you are.
This is a beautiful comment. I’m only 28 but planning to embrace aging when it happens, grey hair and all.
I'm sorry... if the father's in the picture, they need to take their daughter away from the mum. This is absolutely child abuse.
Estrogen toxicity.
@@FFLapinmany fathers do nothing even if they are in the picture. They don’t want to risk the marriage
That's a bit extreme. It's relatively harmless
As if it is OK for a father not to be in his daughter's life. "If the father's in the picture..." We sure have low (or no) standards for men.
@lemondrop7305 Wow, again such LOW standards for men. If you're a man who doesn't speak up to protect your child so as not to "risk the marriage" you are just as abusive as the mom putting Botox in her young daughter's face. That isn't a man. That's a little boy.
Getting rid of all expression is so sad. Seeing someone cry when they can't move thier face looks so weird.
Yes! It's really ugly, I don't get it at all why anyone would want to look like that.
And I do have botox 😂 I love what it can do when used with comon sense. I obviously can move my eyebwows in all directions just not as much into the middle as without botox and the frown lines are nearly gone. Of course my eyes crinkle when I smile, just when I don't the crow feet are nearly gone. And obviously I can move my mouth normally I just don't pull down the corners of my mouth without even realiting until someone asks why I look so grumpy when I'm not grumpy at all. I told tbe surgeon that's the effects I want and thats what I got. I repeat it every year or every two years, because the anti wrinkle effect stays much longer as the botox.
Or smile lmaoo weird af
The most transparent doctor I've seen.
We need more of you in the medical field!
FYI, my mom had a syndrome where her eyes would close involuntarily and 30 yrs ago they used Botox in her lids so she could drive a car. There was/is a good use for this stuff guys.
It apparently helps people with migraines too. So yes of course it has some good. But kids and dogs getting Botox is a problem.
@herpaderp-bp4pe the botox for pets may be for pain. He didn't really explain it
@@herpaderp-bp4pe Indeed. I get botox for severe chronic migraines. Without botox injections I have attacks with stroke-like symptoms and severe pain almost every day.
this video only talks about aesthetic changes, obviously there are legit pragmatic uses for botox as well
@@spookeymo Yes and??? Do I hear an echo? DUH!
Thank you so much for telling this truth about this "anti-aging" nonsense. My face is a good mix of my late Mom and Dad, plus all my ancestors. I am pretty proud of it!!! (I turn 70 next week).
Happy early birthday!! 🎉
Happy Birthday!! 🥳🎁🫶🏻 Hope you have an amazing day!

1.Please please please go to a professional with a medical license PLEASE
2.If you're giving your child botox, that is child abuse and I hope someone calls CPS.
We only get to be a kid once and that is robbing that child of her most carefree years. Shame on her!
There are lots of abhorrent things adult people are doing to children in the name of beauty or mental health. We need to protect our children from barbaric decisions made by adults. I’m not going to get political here but c’mon it doesn’t take a genius to understand the monstrosity of altering children. ☮️
The Drs doing Botox on kids need to be charged as well bc Drs r mandatory reporters of child abuse.
Seems like kid likes it
THANK YOU!!!! That part nearly made me choke on my own spit.
It’s insane that she thought it’d make it BETTER by saying that
@BradB-o3h The kid is being led to believe she needs it. She's 8. Her brain isn't done developing.
Good grief.
i love your straightforwardness, the fact that you give good reasonings behind your opinions, and the fact that you don't overreact to the outrageous things even though you stress how outrageous they are
Hearing young ladies say they think they need Botox before 21 years old because they feel like they look old is so sad! Sadly, getting Botox so young actually is making the young ladies look much older (in a bad way). I just wish our society embraced women aging and we uplifted each other on the journey. It’s a huge blessing to live to be old, many would have given anything to do so!
We see 15yo coping the make of Instagram models making they look a decade older…. then they go and use Botox and fillers in their late teens and early 20s making they look two decades older. Is a feedback loop cause they’ll never be happy with the results. 😢
@Bryn_G_Mamq_of_3 I totally agree with your comment. Making it to old age IS a blessing and a privilege not everyone gets to make it to. Historically, that fact was definitely in everyone's face more because of just how much harder just surviving was. Our ancestors had to work unbelievably hard just to survive every single day and even with all they did, there is never escaping the fact that luck also plays a major part in who survives and who doesn't. THIS fact is the very reason religion came about and is so important to humans (having a belief system that is centered on the idea of a power greater than oneself because accepting the major part of living that is beyond your control helps people accept difficult facts like this (and this may even be the biggest fact that is rooted in many mental/emotional health issues (ie existential crises is often a major aspect if not part of the root of major depression, extreme anxiety and panic attacks (if someone is really struggling with anxiety which is fear evolving around a lack of control/recognizing when they have agency and control over something that is stressful to them and when they dont have control and must accept that they dont control what happens or is happening etc/ dealing with other people having control when they don't etc/ this is just a part of root causes of anxiety issues) Anyway, il getting a little carried away, so all this just to say that it is sad how society got to a point where it taught women how their looks are the most important thing about them in attracting a mate and attention and have WORTH and that to be considered attractive they have to look a very specific way and do anything to alter their face and body to match the aesthetic (I think I'm misspelling this word but I think it's close enough that you know what I'm meaning to say. I'm an English major and a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my writing anything but I've been blanking A LOT and making a lot of minor mistakes when writing and mispronounced words- some of it is a worsening of my dyslexia which I think might be because of pregnancy brain. I'm 8 months pregnant - sorry for the tmi) that society has dictated to them. Women (as well as men), are truly missing out on the beauty of the aging process. It does not have to be feared and it does not need to be fought. (It will come for you anyways and it always gets what it wants lol) pagans actually have a beautiful outlook on aging. Esp for women.
I will always appreciate the good ol' honesty on this channel
My heart goes out to that little girl, and Dr.Gary for having to be aware of how depraved some people are.
stephanie and gary are like my favorite youtubers ever

A very needed dose of sanity among influencers that talk about looks and cosmetic procedures.
Please stop saying"like" in every sentence you speak and write! It's "like" nails on chalkboard. STOP!
"Like . . . " *sigh*
other than saying he’s reacting to “this” video does he even credit her?
he doesn’t even link to her original content in the description
I understand this is informational and transformative of the original content but I’m very disappointed that he is not openly crediting her work
Anyone involved with the sexualized children's " beauty pageants" should be behind bars. It's extreme child abuse.

Thank you Dr Linkov for what you do. I am 45, and I have had Botox injections few times since my early 40s… I trust my providers and I love how I look. Thank you for the education without fear mongering. I also appreciate the compassion.
I love this man. It is extremely difficult to find people who you can trust.. I am so grateful, to have found him
He is a genuine down to earth person. He's one of the few good people on this app. All positivity and good vibes on his channel ❤
Your channel should be a compulsory watch in schools.
So good to have someone with the information, caring about people more than the money.
This is me at 58, still saying I’m never going to have any work done.
I hate the fact that so many woman tend to favor one another now. Where is the uniqueness anymore?
LOVE your channel as always ☺️!
🌸
same - i have battled acne for decades and went to a really good dermatology clinic that offered 'free' wrinkle shots. i told them that's the normal that i want to keep for as long as possible. heartbreaking that these people will NEVER know what they would have naturally looked like over time. if i want a plastic face...i better have hands and a neck to match, so i'll wait a few more decades. ;)
@ I hear you, 100%!!☺️

"For cosmetic purposes." Yes, *unless you get it for migraines or TMJ.* Very helpful treatment 👍
This helped my headaches and jaw pain tremendously.
@bmcdonald7303 So glad! I have the same experience! 😊
getting it for tmj can actually cause the masseter muscle to atrophy
@@themischief420It does help with TMJ.
@themischief420 Yep. That's the point.
Thank you for voicing the major concerns and the evident child abuse on these little girls!!
Great video. I had botox during my 30's and stopped. Now 58 and still coming to terms with my ageing face. However, I refuse to bow to societal pressure to not age! It is a daily practice to be comfortable with it. As an Australian we grew up under harsh sun which is the biggest problem for me. Also as an Australian I love that you are using Stephanie's channel - she really does her research and provides a fresh approach!
You look absolutely wonderful. You are so beautiful!! Australian women are so beautiful to me❤
This is why you go to professionals for Botox and fillers y’all. It’s not* a DIY craft project. And omg, Botox on children beyond medical use is child abuse.
Edit: ** just had to add it a word I missed 😅
There is a middle ground imho: starting Botox in your fourties when lines start to become static and focusing on areas where botox makes a positive difference, like for the "11" frown lines (avoiding a permanent angry expression), a sensible dose, done by a professional injector.
Maybe avoiding looking angry all the time will prevent those lines too. When I was a child my mother said: don’t look angry because it will bevome permanent! Now at 55 I have lots of wrinkles, not a permanent angry face but many laugh lines
@@Prosperofcourseis not like people choose to be angry, worried, sad, etc. Your mom meant well but is a tad insensitive to say “is your fault your wrinkles don’t look cuter, maybe you should have smiled more”.
Wrinkles are just a sign of maturity and does not imply being less attractive. It is natural to age and that naturality can be seen to be just as much or even more attractive or beautiful than a youthful appearance.
Everyone's has their own opinion
I get your sentiment and ageing of the skin shouldn't be some thing to avoid at a costs, but in reality most people find skin without wrinkles or with minimal wrinkles to be most attractive
@@inanimatemist8610Who are "most people"? Why are you making assumptions of what other people think based off of your own personal beliefs? Social media ageism and societal standards of beauty are not "most people".
@@BradB-o3hexactly. Which is exactly what OP did. They stated their opinion. And you obviously didn't like it and felt the need to comment that.
@herpaderp-bp4pe People value youth and beauty, I could list many reasons and examples, such as human biogical reasons, also your comment makes no sense, society standards exist because they represent general ideas of most of the populous, and various froms of media are created and made to represent widely seen social values in the populous
Child abuse!! Should be reported
The sad thing about what that eight-year-old girl would never know about Botox had the mother not been so insecure and complained and whined in front of her only to make suggestions passively or directly. Either way it’s abuse!
People forget their looks are not a picture, frozen looks weird, even from a facelift it can effect your movement which is eerie. If you are trying to make a person that sees you perceive you well that plastic surgery isn't working the way you think. Humans are really good at reading things that are strange about your expression.
Yes! Botoxed ppl look weird. They might have weak chins, bad posture, etc.
It's better to eat well, fast well, move well.
@@thiacari Yeah I think doing things like ballet really takes care of your posture. You can do it as a kid and that will remain with you the rest of your life. Also good skincare is way more important than having no wrinkles.
People are so obsessed they think not having wrinkles make you look youthful and good, no, wrinkles are fine, laughlines make you look nice and aproachable.
@Iflie Taiji is good for posture too! Every moment, keep the tailbone tucked. It's more important than pulling the shoulders back
@@thiacari Do you mean Tai chi? Actually one of the first things you learn in ballet as a little kid is to tuck your "bum" in and shoulders should be back and neutral and your neck long.
Putting your shoulders back is something tons of people need in this computer/phone age and it helps you breathe properly and keeps your spine straight and avoids the neckpain so many suffer from because they are making a hump from typing.
The elderly are especially prone to it as the spine sinks in so you should always try to keep your shoulders back and your head up. All kids should learn proper posture.
@Iflie The pinyin form of 太极 is Taiji. In Western countries it can also be written Tai chi.
I always love you and Stephanie coming together to speak the truth! She’s such a great content creator and I love when you guys bounce opinions off of eachother and double down on the real deal when it comes to the good, the bad, and the unfortunately ugly/scary side of plastic surgery/injections/fillers/Botox..
Merry Christmas, thanks for educating so many :)
Can't stand her. She's so obnoxious and body shames people.
I'm less than 4 minutes in watching this video, and it is probably the most sensible video I've ever seen. Thanks for posting, and have a Merry Christmas.
This is a great analysis. I am a fan of both of you and I really like your commentary/responses because you’re very respectful and if you disagree with anything, you explain it in a logical way :) keep up the amazing work!
The kid must be taken away from the mother and jail that woman for child abuse. These kids can't be kids without narcissistic parents giving their children complexes.
Who is injecting kids?! It should be illegal
Americans
DIY Botox kits at the pharmacy???!!!! People don’t know where it’s safe to inject and no manual could be big enough to cover everything you’d need to know. I’m a pharmacist and I guarantee you, people would bring it up to ask for counseling - no way, sorry all, but I don’t know where to put it either. And doing that to kids is criminal and I’m glad they got that mom’s face on the show. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m judging her.
I agree with you entirely!!! I genuinely hope DHS caught wind of this somehow. It’d be considered abuse I would imagine? Considering all the risks
I would pay to have Dr Gary and Stephanie Lange have a face to face crossover chat on RUclips. Thank You .
Dr. Linkov,
We knew a child in the 1980’s who contracted botulism from improperly canned vegetables. She was in ICU fighting for her life. It left an indelible mark on us. She survived and recovered.
When this trend began, I couldn’t imagine injecting a poison into the skin for surface beauty. 🤷♀️. Accept aging.
I mean, you can die of water poising and still you need to drink water daily, so this is not an argument that is really useful... same goes for basically all other things in life AND certain poisons, like digitalis, which is highly dangerous, but really helpful for certain heart problems (I HATE Botox and fillers, would ever get it, just pointing it out.)
Yes, and if I drank 6L of dihydrogen oxide in an hour, I'd have kidney failure. But somehow it's also the healthiest beverage available to humanity 🤔
This man is a true professional 👩🏽🏭
This is why when I have gotten injectables in the past I only went to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that I trusted very much.
I was mortified when I saw myself in photos after my last Botox treatment. Last year when I was 65 years old, I got Botox for my forehead, crowfeet, and between my eyebrows. In photos, my upper face was smooth and my lower face was sagged and lined, (dynamic wrinkles). I looked like the friggen' Joker (or the Grinch). That's when I told myself "never again;" It's time to accept reality.
I got botox and lip filler twice. After watching your videos, i am considering not getting them again. It has been 6 months already, so far i am happy with my look. Exercising more helped. Might change my mind in summer again, hopefully not
Botox user for about 5 years but for migraines. I'm now at every 8 weeks since it wears off so quickly. My neurologist injects me and even then I've had ptosis once. It's amazing for helping with migraines but it's always a concern for longer term use. Love the video and channel. Thanks!
It is pretty good for headaches and migraine. I use it for jaw clenching too, but it's not as good as I was hoping for. It's so expensive too.
Aging is a privilege and I'd much prefer to emote and not fixate on developing wrinkles.
Honestly, avoiding the sun, wearing sunscreen, staying hydrated, eating nutritiously, moisturizing, and not smoking is enough for the majority of people to avoid premature aging if it's a concern.
absolutely - i was raised being told that a vanity obsession is a personality flaw. in/out hydration has also been a key for me. i am not against being/doing anything very responsibly, and legally - as long as mental health is strong.
There’s people who use your first sentence as an excuse to not do anything in terms of counteracting aging. If you’re not into Botox, then don’t, but personally, I do everything above, including Botox…which I get once a year, and it’s removed static lines in my forehead.
@BadMannerKorea and there's absolutely nothing wrong with people "doing nothing to counteract aging". As a society we need to let people age in peace and stop looking down on people (women especially) who choose to do it naturally.
You're welcome to do whatever you want with your body, but recognize that not everyone has to or wants to do the same thing - and there's nothing wrong with that
@@dreadwolfrising Yeah and I already said you can do whatever you want, including the people who don’t do anything, but unfortunately I already most likely do and will look better for my age than you: : )
@BadMannerKorea that's not a very kind thing to say, is it? I think rather than putting others down you need to develop empathy and not be so judgemental based on appearances.
(And FYI, people mistake me for being a teenager all the time but nice try 😘)
Edit bc yt flagged me as spam: hun I have better things to do than argue in the yt comment section. Look inward
I’ve been getting Botox for about 5/6 years now (I’m 31), I was a chronic frowner and it just gave me the absolute worst resting B face, I feel it makes me look freshener and I only get it every 6 or so months so I still get full movement back.
What I find fascinating is the medicinal uses of Botox in the body beyond cosmetics, a lot of people don’t realise just how many different things it can treat. But it’s sad and scary how many people abuse it and take risks in the name of beauty
When the sun is out I never leave home without sunglasses so I don't squint my eyes or frown. This has helped me alot in keeping my face smooth. i'm soon 42.
You should collab with steph at this point 😂❤
I agree. Stephs a good girl. She deserves it
Yes, WOULD enjoy a collaboration ❤
YES please doc!!!
It's the next logical step, right?
Outstanding segment. shocking, scary and sobering❤ thank you for the content and awareness❤
My face is beautiful, I don't need botox, I don't need plastic surgery, I don't need make up. And nobody can convince me otherwise 😊 x
Dear Doctor Gary, I am so glad to see and hear your humanity! Merry Christmas and thank you for the biology lessons and your soothing voice!
Stephanie Lange has grown into a real voice for women loving their natural selves. She is a former makeup artist who has had some “tweakments” as she calls them.
Young women (any women) struggling with image would be encouraged by her videos. They might even get mad at the industry that has profited from their pain.
And no one called CPS after that interview?....
Right? I want to know wtf happened there
I want to believe they intentionally did this interview publicly so somebody could call CPS...I wish I could do it but I dont live in the USA.
It’s sad that smile lines are now considered “bad” and must be prevented/fixed. A lot of these dynamic wrinkles turn static over time due to the emotions we show, and I don’t see how having smile lines or crows feet around the eyes are bad when all they are evidence of happy memories. I absolutely crinkle my eyes and open my mouth when I have a good laugh, and when I’m older if my face shows that then at least my children and grandchildren will know that I’ve experienced happiness!
On a side note…your voice is so soothing. Sometimes I just put on your video to fall asleep
Ive had dysport 1x at my dermatologist. I felt sick for a week after, extreme fatigue. I never did it again because it was scary and the doctor tried to tell me i must just have a cold. I know my body, it was the drug.
I got sick on disport. I had a horrible stomach ache for a week and nausea. I also had a headache for two months.
@Ladysalvador i started taking activated charcoal after I got it because I was sick, I'm not sure if it helped me or not but it seemed to.
I appreciate your honesty. You aren't sugar coating it even as a plastic surgeon. People always think if they go to experienced injector they are safe... Not always.
Even highly experienced injectors (like in my case) can do a lot of damage in conjunction with some hidden problems in the patient's bodies. I had had 2x glabela botox without any problems.
Then to the forehead and glabela-consequence? Two months after the injection, still swollen eyes every morning, brow ptosis, eyelid ptosis, droopy eyes - still now. I experienced blurred vision, and a headache for three weeks. Not to mention, I still can't move my forehead at all for two months. But the wrinkles I wanted to remove the most, the glabella ones are BACK after 8 weeks.And by the way, through my own stupidity, I let the doctor convince me that it would be better to do a forehead botox as well. I just wanted glabella. The worst part is, she laughed at my fear that this could happen. And that if the previous doctor told me that, if she was even a doctor. And here I am...with all the mentioned above and.... without a plane ticket,which I could have bought with the money I spent on botched botox.
Watch out. Botox is not for everyone. And definitely not for me. I may know better now, but at what cost?
Gary and Stephanie in one video about botox procedures is like a match made in heaven🎉
I just got Botox for migraines for the first time last week. I didn't realize that among the 31 standard injections are 3 around the eyebrows. I told my doctor I was worried about getting 'reality star face' and the told me not to worry about that. She encouraged me to do it anyway because this is part of the therapeutic standard injections and I should get the full treatment. She said we are doing a much lower dose and that reality star face won't happen. But it's totally happening!! I had no wrinkles before this. And now that my eyebrows are mostly paralyzed, there's all these weird bumps and creases on my forehead when i'm trying to emote. And it fucking hurts, actually. When I'm just chilling on my own I don't have pain, but if I'm having a conversation and just laughing along normally, I get a bunch of pain in my forehead I guess cause the muscles can't move. It's really horrible. I hate the way it looks and I never signed up for this. It totally makes me look older. It hurts. I wish I could reverse it.
Did it help the migraines?
A good injector leaves you with movement.
@@sunshine3914 its helping so far yeah. i'm gonna ask to skip the eyebrow injections next time and just do the 28 scalp ones.
Thank you for telling us your honest experience
@@rin-eri I get them to do it in the hairline and near the ears, from a pain clinic, mine come from jaw clenching, and that nerve can give you migraines, just a thought it may be the same for you. It's so much money.
Your honesty and insights are a joy to watch and your calming voice is great company during my pain flares 💕
32:35 “but he doesn’t anymore heh heh haAH, not after that botox 😏” I loved that from Dr. Linkov 😂
Stephanie Lange is amazing! Awesome you found her channel.
I’ve had my first Botox and I love it, I don’t have too much and can still express myself but it’s helped stop my overly expressive face, which I’m also trying to reduce through therapy because I’m overly performative when anxious (every day lol) I think it’s about having an ethical practitioner and a healthy relationship with procedures
Great video!
I'm so happy that people are finally talking about the negatives of getting injections more (especially when you're very young).
But even if it might "backfire" one day - I will never ever stop getting my masseters botoxed every 5-6 months, cause I'd rather look a bit aged than ruining my teeth and having constant headaches again.
Watching this made me feel terrible about my days shooting heroin when you said omg where’s the gloves haha 🤦♀️ thank god we recover! 😂
😂😂 I feel you. Imagine that. Being sick, finally copping and you got a clean rig but WAIT! I forgot my gloves! I cannot do my shot lmao
The way he winced and reached for the skip button the moment he glanced them pageant kiddies best moment ;DDD
I've been getting botox for migraines for over 10 years and super happy with it for that.
Love this balanced reaction. I think botox can be a really great thing when used appropriately. I started getting a very small amount twice a year in my late 30s to soften frown lines and I'm really happy with the result. I didn't enjoy having resting angry face.
Marry Christmas, Dr. Gary. Please do a collab with Stephanie!
When you said ‘pathological’ I felt that and agree! 😢
Narrowly avoided an argument today about preventative treatments after my nieces getting some quite mature make up products for Christmas.
Child abuse. Pagents outlawed. Causing muscles to atrophy at 8 years old is insane. She will look 80 at 20
Edits for spelling ( it said parents, I meant padgents) still not sure on spelling 😅
This is why I prefer to watch British tv shows. The people look normal, have normal faces, normal wrinkles, can make normal expressions, have normal teeth and smiles. The obsession with look plastic is disturbing. I'm not against people doing what they want but I think once somebody starts it's a slippery slope. People don't notice the things we don't like about ourselves as much as we think they do. I prefer a face with character. Botox on children is diabolical. Those parents should be charged.
Pretty sure I’ve seen a British program precisely about British people getting cosmetic surgery/botox/fillers. Anyone know which series I’m talking about? It was a while ago and I can’t remember the title. Anyway, it’s everywhere. Yes, even in Britain. The actors you think are “natural” have gotten tweaked in some way. It’s kind of silly thinking otherwise. 🤭
@@stevnicoe Love Island UK and Geordie Shore for me are examples of what you said. I don't think Kerry realises the UK has filler face even worse than the USA. I'm Aussie and we're starting to get it bad here too
Your face is so smooth. Please post your facial routine.
Thank you for this video. Perfect timing as I couldn't afford botox or my favorite jeuveau this time around. I think I'll take a break for awhile.

I have botox because otherwise the wrinkle on my forehead makes me look as if I was angry when, in fact, I’m not. At first, I wasn’t aware of that, but my daughter started to ask me what she’d done and why I was angry. I found a great doctor who uses only a small amount so my face looks natural and not like a doll’s.
My aunt was part of the study of botox as a treatment for dystonia. They lady with the bad reaction looked like she had dystonia
I love Stephanie’s channel! Thank you for adding context ❤
Dr. Linkov, some of your reactions when Stephanie was discussing the Kardashian’s not being able to properly smile or show facial expressions was hilarious!! I’m really glad it was addressed though because all of the Botox and filler certainly keeps Kim, Kylie, and the like from looking natural in any way, it’s really sad. Thanks for another really great video! I’m scared of Botox, but I know women younger than myself who use it. I, on the other hand, stick to Frownies and Retinol deep wrinkle cream with Hyaluronic acid . 😁
Botox in the maseters also helps with bruxism
I chickened out from having it in my masseter. I have bad bruxism but the fear of having an allergic reaction to botox was too strong.
I got proper orthodontic care and that really took care of my overdeveloped, painful maseters. People should look into jaw and teeth alignment first
Woe havent seen Kendall in awhile 😮 she looks 35
My younger sisters get botox regularly on their foreheads and between their eyebrows. Their eyebrows are arched and wonky. Sometimes one eyebrow moves strangely while they talk. Personally I think Botox makes them look older.
5:55 I would want to know about all of the possible things that could happen.
Can you make a video about people injecting Botox to help with migraines and TMJ?
The USA has some serious issues.
22:52 "Poison yourself Responsibly"
It’s crazy how people got so obsessed with not having wrinkles
16:50 I get injections for migraines and severe clenching while I sleep. Somewhat concerned with long term effects, but cannot go back to being in pain everyday.
injections for migraines are performed by doctors and they are done without a goal of visual changes so it’s much much safer
This is that one time that I WISH I was being lied to... Little girls with botox 😢😢😢
I love your presentations, Dr. Linkov. I have used botox and fillers since my fifties - only rarely. I wanted to get a facelift, but since I have Diabetes T2, the Plastic Surgeon I consulted discouraged me (which is understandable). I am now in my sixties, and I hope that with better control of my blood sugars I will be able to get the facelift I've been wanting. I'd like to learn your opinion, Dr. Linkov, of facelifts for people with Diabetes. Thank you, :)
Children having Botox should be illegal. I can’t imagine it not having a negative effect on her growth and development much less her mental state. The mother said she gives her the shots. She and whomever she gets Botox from should be arrested.
Thank you Dr. Gary, I am glad your hammering this home here. I really dislike when women with a beautiful face ruin it with those fillers and botox. I think blowing up their lips and putting on big thick brows makes a person look ugly because it does not look natural. If you naturally have thick lips, my daughter does, I do not, or thick brows, which i did in my twenties, is fine and looks natural because it is !
So done with the cosmetic industry
I so appreciate your Honesty Dr. Gary. You definitely give us Both Sides… Thank you! PS- You are sooo handsome as the Real You! 🙏❤️😊👍
