botox

[noddyholder]

After years of consideration i have decided to go for it.I have v good skin apart from forehead which are caused by constant squinting over the years when i don't wear my glasses.Botox doc I met at friends said i was ideal candidate as if your face is just wrinkly everywhere it prob needs something more like fillers but mine is just one area and caused be repetitive movement.What i really want to know is does it hurt and any disasters anyone?

The raised eyebrow is good actually if only the other one matched!The lack of movemnet is disconcerting.I have to pretend to dp that i love it because of the £ when in reality i couldn't give a monkeys

but do you look fresher? I dream of looking fresher. I don't give a fuck about moving my face. Highly over-rated.

Helo nodders I was thinking about you and your forehead today! Interesting that you are 'nonplussed'? by results? maybe in a few days when its really kicked in you might feel differently?

fascintating thread
dont think I ever have the balls to do it

I've had it done a number of time and think its fab! I've always had dreadful crows feet and this just magicly erases them. Have had the full on frozen forehead look too although don't have so much in this area now as it is rather weird not being able to move your forehead. Yes - fresher definitely - youger... not sure.

Doesn't hurt a bit and is over very quickly.

It is getting 'more' by the hour now or so it seems.I really am not bothered which is a relief to me because I am horrendously vain or thought i was!I def look fresher not younger neccesarily.Not really supposed to see full effect until sunday will prob look like spock by then

How long do results last and does it get worse over time? I suppose some would be natural ageing effect, but do you need to keep topping up?

I have a big old blue vein that runs up and under one eye (I'm QUITE the cover gal)

I thought that might stop me from getting crows feet done ,were I ever to go down that route

waddya reckon?

I think I'd be getting a consultation from a surgeon first (obviously a free one!!). Don't know if anywhere offers this service though.

I have a nice bruise on one side aswell.Cyb don't think that would deter!I have decided to reserve judgement until the weekend is over I have a few do's this weekend will be interesting to see if anyone notices.ds keeps saying how's the botox like its my little friend!

fab thread thank you - am definitely tempted to go for forehead horizontals and 11s... any more london recommendations?

Day 5 and I officially don't like it!no matter how i look in the mirror it isn't 'me'.Never again bring on the wrinkles just looked at ds who is 16 and he is supposed to be smooth and young and I'm not.But in terms of pain and whether or not it 'works' I can,t fault it its jusy not for me

That's a shame noddy. But nothing ventured......

SO you like how it looks but don't like how it feels?

No i don't like any of it!It feels heavy and my eyes look somehow static and tired even thogh they aren't.it give a sort of blankness that I don't like.maybe when I go back for the follow up he can do something.I am glad i did it though as I always wondered.It is not a wonder cure

oh right
did you post before and after pics?
is it a dramatic change?
does your dh notice?

I don't have teh before pic he took will egt one when I go back.My forehead is smooth now but the relaxed brow definitely causes the area around the eye to look more full and tired I think this happens if your eyelids are already 'old'!It would probably be good in your 30s but I am 45 and it has not done what i expected.If you can't lift your brow eyes can look puffy.I know now that sleep water and decent make up are enough for me.If the brows can be raised a bit with more when I go back I'll give it a go but once this wears off then no i won't do it again.

Aw nodders...I thought you'd found the magic cure all.

Ok now I know you are not going to look 18, I AM prepared to meet you

arf

Not so fast everyone It is looking better Bumped into a friend today who said I looked well.Still not sure though Am def coming to meet you cyb as soon as I can.Bruise on my temple is getting me lots of sympathetic looks while dp is under suspicion for walloping me

oh noddy I've been following this with interest

Sunday will be the day of reckoning, yes?

lol at walloping suspicions

Thanks ruby!I really hope that stops as apart from that ir looks good and I want to enjoy it even if I never have it again.I got back from sainsburys (exciting life here)this morning and grabbed a band and put my hair up on top of head in a croydon type bun to hoover up and caught sight of myself and tbh I would usually look horrendous with my hair like this and it looks ok!Maybe i need to get used to the smooth look.

I have also blamed sinuses

I can still lift my brows a little.Have no lines between eyes now at all.I feel like I have been crying you know that weird heavyeye feeling but dp says he can't see it.
