Ok so am I odd for wanting Botox?

[mosschops30]

I started another thread to see if anyone else did it but obviously not.

Which makes me think even more that I am doing something abnormal!!!

So whats wrong with it? I just want a couple of lines on my head out and some fillers the side of my mouth.

Are you all young and beautiful/growing old gracefully (or lying )

Your opinions gratefully received

Yup.

I plan to get it although a friend had something called skin jetting done and it is amazing so am looking into that too

Actually I know loads of people who want it but I don't know any who've had it. Unless they just haven't admitted it.

I've had it done three times so must be very odd. It won't be any use for fillers, you need another type of injection for that. And be careful who you go to, I don't like the freeze-framed look and have a very experienced plastic surgeon who injects my botox.

It's botchulism innit

sykes does it make your eyes droopy?

i would. but would need to get my acne scars treated first - otherwise not much point. i've looked into the latter and it would cost me about £4k - so not on the agenda any time soon.

sykes I am going to a reputable clinic (so not a backstreet hairdresser who does it in the back kitchen )
am having a consultation first where she tells me what she can do and what needs doing, but I already know I want fillers either side of that bit between your nose and mouth.

So does it hurt? How often do you go? Any nasty side effects?

forget the botox .. vodka paralyses more muscles

No, they look normal. I think it can go wrong - hence you need someone very experienced, in my opinion. Dentists and GPs can do it now and although am sure some are fine, I'd rather have an expert in botox. Jesus ..... I do sound odd.

I'd hate to acquire an expression I'd never had before

personally think that anyone that would want to inflick pain on them selfs like that is stupid

I would have botox, or any other plastic surgery in a second.

It hurts a bit, depending on where you have it done. Only as in makes your eyes water, in my experience. The fillers are supposed to be fairly sore although I think you often have a local before.
It's supposed to be between two and four times a year but I think some people get addicted and look very strange. I have it three times a year, just about to go for the fourth.

I'd have a head transplant if poss

You could end up looking like this or or maybe this

I would have it,would also have my upper eyelids done if I had the dosh.

yes I have been told probably 3 monthly too, but apparently the younger you start having it done the less wrinkles you get god I hope so.

and leg transplants

I've stretched to nearly five this time and I THINK my wrinkles aren't as bad as they used to be and the effects must have worn off by now. The first time you have it done your forehead feels very strange, really heavy. Also, you mustn't touch the areas injected for at least 24 hours - as in don't rub them and you can't have facials etc for ten days, I think. The botox tends to work best if you frown and smile - move your muscles around a lot. The full effects can take up to ten days to really take.

AS in five months between sessions. Off to the park with the girls and dog now but any queries, feel free.

NB, you're obviously not using your namesake's famous beauty product, OIL OF OLAY REGENERIS cream, or you wouldn't want a head transplant. I'd go down the Olay route before considering anything so drastically expensive. (That said, and I've mentioned it in another thread) Nadine Baggot (of TV fame) has definitely had botox. No one has a forehead that smooth. It ain't natural.

oh my skin is fabulous but I'm ugly, have rotten teeth, a pointy nose and strawlike hair - hence the need for a head transplant.

let's not discuss my legs ......

I want it but my poverty and fear of needles are proving to be a hindrance.

To be serious, I would have probably scoffed at anyone considering it a while ago, but I was 39 when I had my ds (I'm now 41) and I do sometimes worry about appearing visibly more wrinkly than the other mums when he gets to school age. It's shallow, but it's the age we live in. The genie is out of the bottle, and I would never say never. Fear of needles - that would be a problem for me, too.
