Botox for '11' lines

Has anyone had this done?

Were you happy with the results, and did you have any problems with it?

How long does it last approx?

Apologies if this has been discussed many times before, but I am in a bit of a rush today. My frown lines are really getting me down (pardon the pun!), and making me look loads older than I am.

Just thinking about it at the moment, so would really appreciate any stories/thoughts good and bad!

Does Botox work well on crows feet? I do want to do my frown lines and would welcome it to stop me frowning all the time.

If you get Botox in your crows feet won't that affect the movement of your face when you smile? I thought eyes were a difficult area to treat?

Botox on crows feet can look incredibly good but it’s also the area most likely to go wrong. I’ve seen so many videos of practitioners injecting towards the eyes and I cringe every time - it really heightens the risk of a droopy eye lid! But if it’s done away from the orbital rim pointing away from the eyes the risks are far lower, at the end of the day it’s poor technique that causes a drop rather than Botox itself x

DavetheCat2001 · 21/01/2018 22:33

Oh gawd, I hope this place I'm going to next Friday is good!

Thanks FruitCider, that's interesting. So important to go to someone good!

FruitCider · 22/01/2018 03:47

Dave inbox me the clinic name and I’ll do some digging if you like?

Aridane · 22/01/2018 09:50

I have found botox brilliant for crow's feet

FacelikeaBagofHammers · 22/01/2018 10:03

Does anyone have a recommendation for a clinic in Dublin?

DavetheCat2001 · 22/01/2018 10:26

Thanks Fruit I will x

I've booked in for my first lot! Two areas, in between brows and horizontal forehead lines

ddrmum · 23/01/2018 13:15

Dave- I'm near balham so am very interested in the outcome of your appt.

DavetheCat2001 · 23/01/2018 13:28

I'll definitely report back ddmum Smile

Excited for you Dave. Which clinic? Are you having just 11s or more? I can't wait till I can get more. I think I'll get crows feet done next time too

TheGrumpySquirrel · 24/01/2018 13:43

Not frowning in any of these btw, the line had started to show in photos even with resting face - which made me look grumpy all the time!

FacelikeaBagofHammers · 24/01/2018 13:52

Those results look fab grumpy - I've got the exact same issue.

Do you feel 'frozen' .. can you frown at all?

TheGrumpySquirrel · 24/01/2018 14:12

No - I couldn't frown at all for 3 months. It's a weird sensation at first but you get used to it. However I didn't get any horizontal forehead lines done so I didn't feel frozen (as could still raise eyebrows). I can now frown slightly after over 4 months but not as much as before. I need a top up but have to wait as I'm currently pregnant.

FacelikeaBagofHammers · 24/01/2018 14:28

Did anyone notice grumpy? Did it look natural?

Everytime I look in the mirror I can see that bloody line , it's driving me insane, and not getting any better with age either :(

Freetodowhatiwant · 24/01/2018 14:44

I am sorely tempted next time I get some decent money to spare! Anyone have any recommendations for South East London or central London? I feel a light touch would be preferable for me - forehead and crows feet. I don't have number 11s but weirdly I have a small horizontal line in that area.

DavetheCat2001 · 24/01/2018 15:02

Wow Squirrel that looks amazing!!

Hoping I get results like that..my frown lines are worse than yours though!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 24/01/2018 15:19

@FacelikeaBagofHammers it looked v natural and no one noticed unless I told them / pointed it out. My husband still doesn't know I did it 🤣 I just looked 25 again and felt amazing! Wearing off a bit now but still a million times better than before

TheGrumpySquirrel · 24/01/2018 15:19

@Freetodowhatiwant I went to Melior clinic on Harley street

Freetodowhatiwant · 24/01/2018 15:39

I will check it out, thanks grumpy.

DavetheCat2001 · 24/01/2018 15:46

Squirrel have you just had the '11's' done or have you also had it anywhere else?

DavetheCat2001 · 24/01/2018 15:52
