To think about botox

[TaylorBrown]

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

I’ve been having it since 30 a few times a year. I don’t think it’s a big deal and I look better

I have hooded eyes and this was a big worry for me. However, my researched showed it was about placement and needle depth which caused things to drop / become heavier.
I have minimal in my forehead and 11s, this is then increased at my review. I have it under my brow line too and this makes a big difference.

Botox rules 😁

I don't give a single shit what anyone thinks, I'm not embarrassed to get it, I look way better, and I'm happy with my choice.

It wasn’t a different opinion it was ridiculously arrogant and condescending, and you know it

Yes, same, much fewer headaches! A nice little side effect.

Had it regularly since I turned 32 or so. It's like magic.

Look at Cliff Richard , he used Botox for years , now he’s stopped his face has caved in!

Or he would have aged to the same degree otherwise 🤷🏻‍♀️ just more gradually

Ffs he's 83! Everyone's face is looking worse for wear by 83 😅

I was responding to dunkdemunder's comment, not OP
That's how misunderstandings escalate - someone reads content incorrectly. Or doesn't read the thread, and there you are. Accused of something you have not done

So your opinions are relevant?
Those you dont like or go against your bucolic ethos are rude/wrong?

Not RTFT but consider Tret before you Botox. It's worked miracles for me and I am nearly 20 years older than you. No wrinkles.

I think that by ‘freezing ‘ the muscle it becomes slack over time as it is unused - as with any unused muscle, so it can look far worse each time the Botox needs replacing. Facial yoga and massage may help!

No, I wouldn't consider it.
No matter what any of those performing the treatment say, it doesn't look natural.
If you really have to get it done then do your research and pay for the very best you can afford.

I love it! Best thing I’ve done for my looks. All the women I know that have had it I would never have guessed until I got it myself. It is fillers that look obvious.

I do think that people don't think enough about the long term risks.

I've had it in my jaw muscles as I clench my teeth at night. It worked really well but after doing this for 2 years the muscles have atrophied. Which for me is a good thing as it means I can't clench as much but I'm not sure I would want other muscles in my face doing the same if I had it elsewhere.

I've also read that because you're not using all of your facial muscles it affects blood flow to the area you have it in, which obviously affects skin quality in the long term.

So while I've used it for a medical reason I don't think I would risk using it just for wrinkles as it could really change your face shape and skin quality in the long term.

I didn’t give one, it was your opinion that was given in a condescending way. What you’re saying is fine, but it’s how you said it. Also your phrasing of bucolic ethos makes no sense in your sentence, you’re just making yourself look stupid. If you don’t know what a word means best not use it ❤

The fact that you don't understand what I was saying and intimating in that phrase says it all

This is a conversation about Botox, I think it’s getting a bit OTT in general do you not think?

Yes! But often, that's the aibu threads!
Shall we agree to disagree and enjoy our Saturday?!

Yes! And I had to Google what bucolic ethos meant 😂😂😂😂

I have it. It makes me look "fresher" and help my hooded eyelid. You need to maintain it though. Every 3 months so it can be expensive

👍🤣🤣

I've been having it on and off for 5 years I love it. Makes you look so fresh faced. My mum start it a couple of years ago and she looks amazing for 62.

I had Botox in May, the last time I’d had it was the July before. Around 10 months is as often as I need to go.

I have it in my glabella lines and crow’s feet. I used to have my forehead done, but I have no lines to do (I used to have quite noticeable forehead lines but they seem to have given up after being botoxed).

I really love it. It doesn’t look weird and lots of my friends now go to the woman I see, so it must be good!
