Mallika Sherawat urges fans to embrace natural beauty, say ‘no to Botox': ‘Instead of chasing youth with these…'
'There's no filter I am using, there's no makeup I've put on. I haven't even brushed my hair yet. This is the first thing I am doing. I am sharing this video with you so that we all can say together, 'No to botox, No to artificial cosmetic fillers, and yes to life, yes to a healthy way of living'. Love you all,' the 48-year-old said.
Sherawat's comments come in the aftermath of actor Shefali Jariwala's recent death. Though the official cause of her death is yet to be ascertained, some media reports claimed that Jariwala suffered a cardiac arrest following a drop in blood pressure, hours after taking an anti-ageing drip on an empty stomach.
Taking a cue from her expression, let's explore what to consider when undergoing treatments like Botox.
Dr. Nilesh G Satbhai, Head of Department – Plastic, Hand & Reconstructive Microsurgery and Transplant Surgery, Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai, said that currently, 'a large number of people are opting for Botox.' 'It helps to deal with the fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles. This is a quick, non-surgical treatment that can be done to smooth areas like the forehead, frown lines, and crow's feet, helping with a youthful look,' said Dr Satbhai.
However, if not done correctly, Botox can lead to unnatural results and complications like drooping eyelids, a frozen expression, or uneven results. 'Botox should only be administered by a qualified plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or trained expert,' stressed Dr Satbhai.
Before opting for the procedure, it's essential to discuss your medical history, expectations, and understand the associated risks. Additionally, results are temporary and may require repeat sessions later, as advised by the expert, said Dr. Satbhai.
Dr Satbhai asserted that a well-informed decision allows natural results and avoids unnecessary complications that lead to dissatisfaction and loss of peace of mind. 'Always prioritise safety over trends that are promoted on social media. It is essential to verify your doctor's credentials before undergoing any treatment. The line between what to do and what not to do can often be a tricky distinction. So do not just follow any trend just because your favourite celebrity is promoting it,' said Dr Satbhai.
