Hideous close up of my face and Botox questio !

Apologies to those of a sensitive disposition!

This is a very close picture of my forehead! Those of you with experience of Botox, would it sort out the vertical line between my eyes?

I always look cross!

i would suggest you try laser treatment first or a peel maybe. The line is not very deep at the moment so laser might work..

NevermetaGilesIlike · 03/04/2017 14:42

I think a filler is generally used instead.

What a lot of ridiculous drama over one tiny line!

TheFlis12345 · 03/04/2017 14:47

Interested in responses on this, I have a very similar line on an otherwise pretty smooth forehead and would like to do something about it for my wedding Blush

Really? A short online post and a handful of measured replies?

bibbitybobbityyhat · 03/04/2017 14:55

I meant the op's drama.

"Hideous", "nervous disposisition".

Extremely ott for what turns out to be a very shallow forehead line, the like of which most of us have.

It's a bit like your size 8 friend shouting loudly about the disgusting cellulite on her thighs when you are sitting next to her in your size 14 M & S support costume.

PutThatPomBearBack · 03/04/2017 15:00

Bippity you sound very bitter, has the op upset you?Confused

PutThatPomBearBack · 03/04/2017 15:00

Bibbity* oops

Floisme · 03/04/2017 15:03

You look absolutely fine and not in the least bit cross. I would spend the money on a nice frock.

canadamouse · 03/04/2017 15:06

She was joking bibbity. You've made it into a drama when it wasn't one!

bibbitybobbityyhat · 03/04/2017 15:06

No, not bitter at all.

Frustrated that someone with a perfectly ordinary forehead (with very lovely skin infact) think it is hideous and ghastly. When are women going to learn not to criticise themselves like this? It does none of us any favours.

Those of us who are several degrees more flawed than op - how should we be described? haggard old witch? unspeakably ugly? should be kept hidden away?

bibbitybobbityyhat · 03/04/2017 15:07

Oh I see, how can you tell she was joking?

canadamouse · 03/04/2017 15:08

It was fairly obvious. Maybe calm down a bit? It's a chat thread not a massive discussion. :)

NotYoda · 03/04/2017 15:09

I agree bibbity

Abraiid2 · 03/04/2017 15:10

OP your forehead looks just fine to me. Save your money. When you are my age you will realise how lovely you look.

Why? Has your intended or any of your guests never seen your hideous forehead before? Do you worry he'll take one look and scarper?

stonecircle · 03/04/2017 15:11

I also agree with Bibbity. What does someone say if they do want to post something serious? 'Beyond hideous?'

Zxyzoey31 · 03/04/2017 15:12

My forehead looks like that. I think it looks fine and very normal.

Sunbeam18 · 03/04/2017 15:13

Your skin looks really good to me

FeedMeWell · 03/04/2017 15:13

I don't think your line looks bad at all. I have a deeper "cross" line and Botox works really well to smooth it out.

There are some people taking this thread way too seriously! Hmm My fiancé is the last person who would care but I would like to look my best for myself, and nobody else, and I don't like the look of the line.

NotYoda · 03/04/2017 15:24

Ok. But why for your wedding day? Will The Line ruin the photos?

NotYoda · 03/04/2017 15:25

I think you can see that I'm taking issue with a normal expression line, in a youngish person, being in some way, 'not looking your best"

You dress being tucked into your knickers, maybe...

NotYoda · 03/04/2017 15:27

Anyway. I'm sorry I've been a bit rude. I don't think me and Botox are a good subject for discussion.

JohnCheese · 03/04/2017 15:28

I think you look fine too.

But if you want to get rid/soften the line, Botox is the real answer for this area. It's a dynamic line, caused by repeated movements of the underlying muscle. Freeze the muscle = get rid of the line.
