Should I get Botox?

[Crystaldaisy66]

Anyone done it and regret it? I have thought about it in the past then get put off since I’m scared it’ll go wrong (and some of my friends look pretty bad when it’s waring off I wonder if it makes you look worse sometimes.) I’ve been cheated on by my husband very recently so my self esteem is at about -100. I feel beyond unattractive. I know it’s stupid but I wonder if it’s because my clothes became too comfortable- was I too mumsy and middle class? am I too old? I’m 38 but think my skin looks pretty good. I have wrinkles though new ones form all the time. It’s all downhill from here. I’ve made a consultation with a Botox clinic but wondering whether it’s the right way to get “revenge” what’s the point in some ways if no men to impress and either at work or home with two babies.

Don't get botox for revenge. Don't get it for anyone else other than yourself

I had my first go at Botox earlier this week. I was miserable the following day (horrible headache and a bruise on my forehead from one of the injections). Today, which is 4 days on, I'm pretty happy with it - seems like I've had a layer of wrinkles lifted off.

You need to forget your husband, though, and focus on yourself. He probably wouldn't even notice.

I’ve had it, and I like it- it makes me less self conscious. I have a naturally scowly face- this lifted that but didn’t freeze all facial expressions- that really seems to be a thing of the past- the ‘natural’ Botox look is in. The cost is a pest- needs to be maintained several times a year, so it’s fine for a one of, but be aware that there are continuing costs if you like it. Ultimately, and I’m sorry, it’s not going to make any difference to the arsehole who has left. It won’t be revenge- he’s already moved on and probably won’t even notice/ most men still in relationships don’t notice it. If you want it for a boost, go for it. Don’t do it to waste anymore time on someone who is probably not spending anytime on you xxxxx

I swear by it. Just a little, not entirely frozen. Takes years off, entirely freshens your face. But do it for yourself not others.

Nope

You need a self-esteem boost, so do something to treat yourself. I dunno if botox is the thing, that's up to you of course.

I've fancied it myself but still breastfeeding and feel like it's a risk to DS (I have no idea if that is rational)

Since my ex leaving I've started 6 weekly hairdresser appointments, quarterly spa days, and my wardrobe has had a new lease of life. You definitely need to pamper yourself and start telling yourself positive things. Get your smile back and you won't notice the wrinkles x

Definitely try it out. and fillers too. I have it done when I can afford it and love it. I grew my hair out long again and went to the hairdresser for the works and when she turned me around, I started crying because that was my almost late teens face starting back at me. Definitely a confidence boost.

Are you still with your husband? Your self-esteem will probably take longer to sort if you stayed with him after he cheated and you're seeing him everyday.
I agree with others. Work out what will make you feel better. Spa time alone to relax, a new hobby, a personal shopper at John Lewis, a weekend away with your girlfriends in Paris. Make him look after the children for a whole weekend. Show him and yourself that you can live life on your terms and be selfish sometimes too.
