    you have to because botox wears off, and your facial muscles atrophy from lack of use, so you have to take more, or if you age too much the cosmetics looks wierd and you have do something again. theres also blepharoplasty, (eyelids lifting), or stretching your skin somehow. the ISAIP Mac actor went all in on this, plus his wife, totally unrecognizable now from pre-season 12.

      Yea it makes me sad to look at them. I had a trigeminal nerve irritation for a year and my face bothered me so much. It messed me up so bad over some invisible tingling…They must always have their face feel off. Every time they look in the mirror its a reminder that they’ve lost their sense of identity.

      If that happened to me, I would need therapy to get over the loss of my face.
