I Wanted to Get Lip Injections Without Anyone Noticing The mirror is starting to hate me. It glares back with more lines every time I look. Father Time has driven me from "never, ever, ever would I mess with my face" to "let's do this." The laugh lines around my eyes, the slight forehead wrinkles -- those I can live with. But my lip lines? Ugh. They're what took me from never, ever to yes.

But there was one problem standing between my acceptance and my doing: My "don't-do-anything-you're-beautiful-the-way-you-are" husband would kill me. So what's a gal to do? Go behind my husband's back and hope he doesn't notice? We all see the richerati characters on TV telling partners they're buzzing to St. Barts for a girls-only trip when they're really holing up in a hotel getting everything plumped and lifted. On my budget, even a fake island getaway wasn't in the cards. But after some of my closest girlfriends revealed they have work done secretly, and a week of fighting the for-and-against voices in my head, I decided to go for it. Here's how it went.
