| Annotation | Seven women (aged 43-64, four in Canada, three in the United States) who had negative or mixed emotions about having Botox and/or facial filler injections to the face to reduce signs of ageing were interviewed about the impact of the procedures. Impacts ranged from disappointment to all-encompassing, lingering physical and psychological effects. Some women felt abandoned by the medical industrial complex when they turned to it for help with their symptoms. A feminist phenomenological analysis focused on corporeal, temporal and relational existential modes of being. The authors describe these women's bodily experiences variously as commodified, fractured, abandoned, reflective or transformed. (RH). |
