To think about botox

How common is botox and how haggard does it make you look when your older?
I've been thinking of getting a bit as I have a deep line on my forehead but partner said i will regret it when I'm older. I am 32 just now. I would obviously only be getting a few top ups a year. I know people can look terrible after but they are the people who get loads but does a few top ups a year really make you look that bad when your older ? I would maybe get some around my eyes too to hide the wrinkles lol

Why?
Why are you not happy to age gently and gracefully?
Why not feel that this is just part of life?
You are going to age, wither and finally die.
Immobilising your face won't stop that.
And unless you can sort your hands and neck, it will always be obvious how old you really are (yes, talking about you, Madonna!)

I've had it twice. I like the reduction in forehead wrinkles but mine seems to wear off after 3 months. It's a bit expensive to maintain.

I go through phases of 'why the hell should I feel the need to get rid of my wrinkles'
And 'oh god, i have much deeper wrinkles than anyone else'

I wouldn't have thought they'd make you look haggard when older. Just go for a light touch.
