okayyyy... so I've just had botox

[ProjectGainsborough]

And my resting face looks great - smooth forehead, brows nicely arched. However, when I raise my eyebrows, I look DEMENTED. Like Ming the Merciless.

It's only been a few days. Should I go back, or will it settle in? I asked him to retain some lift, as I was terrified of brow-droop, but equally, I don't want to spend the next six months looking like I'm up to no good.

Can someone enlighten me - who the actual jeff is ming the merciless??

Are you very young, Mummybookworm? . You need to watch a bit of Flash Gordon- you won't regret it.

Why not post here the names and costs of just the good ones? Actually, a friend used someone on Harley St who was excellent, so will ask her who that was.

late thirties Bof. I was a Blakes Seven girl meself

I would love to be recommended somebody to do my botox! I really want it but I'm scared of getting one of the dodgy ones!

I can recommend an excellent clinic in Plymouth for any SW MNers

I can recommend someone in bath with a light touch. He will also tell you if its necessary or if you've left it too late

I've just had it done for the first time 2 weeks ago. Love,love, love it.

I can recommend someone in the new forest. I'm a beauty therapist and regularly recommend her to my clients.

"left it too late" - my worst Botox fear.

How often do you have to have it done?

It depends Silly but every 6 ish months is a good rule of thumb.

I was told every 3-6 months, depending on how you use your face.

My guy was £150 for two areas (which I think is pretty cheap?) although he is a doctor.

"... depending on how you use your face"

I got that too but he sorts it on my check up after two weeks. I didn't realise it was so common. My dad (who doesn't have Botox!) has this ting when he is really angry where his eyebrows almost disappear into his hairline and I thought mine were just going like that! But getting a little in above each eyebrow sorts it.

I can recommend someone in Taunton if anyone is interested.

can you PM me that man in Bath please MrsCampbellBlack?

it's my 11s I dislike. and if I get it done NOW it might slow it down.

I don't have any money though

Cheese - buy no moisturiser, no serum, no toner and wash your face in cheap stuff. The money you save, put it towards Botox. It's the only thing that works.

What can I do for crow's feet? And also I can't wear lovely flicky eye liner any more as one eyelid is sagging down too far.

Any recommendations for north Yorkshire?

Aargh! Nooooo! Don't get more. You'll end up looking like Renee Zellwegger or Nicole Kidman. Ming the Merciless is far less demented-looking than their modified faces.

ooooh I Have been thinking that I really need a little "help" Probably Botox and fillers. Any recommendations for botoxers in Nottingham ?

SorrelForbeswould LOVE plymouth recommendation please!

CiderwithBuda can you PM me the details of your Taunton person please

I have on my notes that I need extra to avoid the demented brow.

I love Botox. I have it once every nine months and I look younger than when I was 30.

I clicked on this thread hoping for a pic.....
