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.

Or Oxfordshire? I am looking at either Botox or dermal fillers.. or just something to decrease my hideous lip lines. There is a clinic near me in Witney but not sure how good it is!

I started having it for migraine early 30s, now I'm older I have it in crows feet too. Just a tiny bit can make a huge difference.

can anyone with reccy in hants pm me?
chocolou or browtox

and why do we have to pm can we not just put names on the thread?

Have pm'd.

I'd also like recomendations for Hants/wilts. Thank you.

Can we not post the recommendations on here? It's bit advertising is it? Same as recommending a lipstick or a hair dresser.

not advertising

In or near Glasgow, please?

Me too golfergirl - recommendations for someone with a light touch in Glasgow. Have seen some advertised (was scared off by one particular advertisement where the person who owns the clinic is clearly a bit hung ho with the Botox needle) and know who to avoid .

Erm, gung ho! I have no idea how hung he is and have absolutely no interest in finding out!

Just tried this, it's fantastic. Previously my furrowed forehead made me look cross, which I wasn't. I asked for minimal intervention as I didn't want Mr Spock eyebrows and a frozen face. All my face still moves but everything is just less wrinkly, I look younger and more rested. I even selected which lines to keep in order to make it look more natural. The best cosmetic work shouldn't look like you've had anything done. Really pleased

Looking for Notts/Leics recommendations if anyone has one?

Sounds perfect responsible I fear that surprised look. Just want the slight frowny bit smoothed out. It's barely there so don't want much.

Medusa my guy is close-ish to you. I'll let you know how the follow up goes.

I looked at the Witney clinic, but wasn't convinced, for some reason.

I also had a good initial consultation with Radiance in Woodstock. She was really thorough and chatted through all my concerns (and her face was amazing)... there was no reason I didn't book with her, other than it seemed a bit ££.

Browtox - please could you pm me your rec in Wiltshire? Thanks.

Plus if anyone else has got one for Swindon area please.

ProjectGainsborough I would appreciate a PM too if you wouldn't mind! I'm in Oxon, and starting to think about botox!

KenDoddsDadsDog - can i ask you how did you find the Botox helped with your migraines? I suffer from daily chronic migraines & have been seeing a dr/professor at either a clinic or more recently at a hospital for around two years now ( albeit appts few & far between) & botox has been mentioned but seems to be two steps forward, three steeps back! Just keep chucking more pills at me!

It has been really good - can't recommend it enough. I still have the odd one but not the chronic daily hormonal ones. I still get milder headaches but that I can work through. I get migraine with no aura and it also stops me causing them by scrunching my face.

Very tempted. dh is against though ... So would have to be in secret. Can't stand my forehead lines. Any recs in Central London ?

mine lasts about 10 weeks. You ladies who say it lasts 6 months or more are very lucky. I also gym a lot and apparently you can metabolize it pretty quickly (if you're a runner or whatever) So for those of you who are keen to get on the botox wagon, it might cost you more than you initially think

Just had this morning have decided to stick with half dose as it lasts the same time and he has charged me less! Looks much better too.

No good London recommendations? I might call that clinic and do some googling. Will report back if I make any progress.

Well, I went back to the clinic and the doctor was lovely and sorted out the crazy brows with no charge. A week on, it looks good!

Details here for those that were interested.

Apparently the best person to get Botox from is your dentist! My dentist does it but I am happy with my face. far to yellow belly terrified to give it a go

I agree with going to a dentist. My dentist in Glasgow is great - really subtle and natural looking.
