Why You Shouldn't Get a Facelift in Your 30s | Giulianna Romero

"If I give you that, you'll look like an alien. A hot alien, but not you."

That's what Giulianna Romero tells women who walk in with a photo of someone else's face. She's my injector, the one person I trust with my face, and the one who tells me no.

I asked her everything I've wanted to know since I started Botox at 32. Why my feed is full of 32-year-olds getting facelifts, and why she completely disagrees. Why she says "fat is king," and pulling your skin back won't fix what's actually missing. How she can tell what anyone has had done, celebrities included.

The story that stayed with me: in one week, three women sat in her chair, each wanting to look like the next. The last one said her own face was falling. Which is wild, because she was the one everyone wanted to look like.

And the question every woman asks in that chair, whether it's her first time or her third? "When is enough, enough?" Even Giulianna asks it.
