Botox for 11s

7 replies

theriseandfallofFranklinSaint · 09/11/2025 19:33

I'm thinking of having some botox in my 11s but a) am not sure if I'm too old at nearly 50 and b) just can't decide if I want to go down the botox route (as I think i might like the idea of tweakments too much!)

Would anyone be happy to post some before/after pictures of their 11s when they've had botox?

I understand people may not want to post pictures for privacy reasons but thought I'd ask... 😊

Don’t have any photos but I’m nearly 50 and started having doing Botox on my 11s a few years ago. Smooths them completely and because that’s the only place I have it I can still move my face- just can’t pull into a frown.

Sorry no pictures my selfies are awful but I’m mid 50’s and absolutely think it is worth it for the 11’s (also known as my WTF lines…) I don’t get it anywhere else, lucky not to have any crows feet or wrinkles any where else but it does make a significant difference to my appearance so have it done maybe twice a year. I would say go for it, what have you got to lose?

I know... nothing to lose except I'm worried as the only beauty treatment I've ever had is eyebrow threading and my hair doing!

I'm 50 next year so might bit the bullet and get it as a birthday present 😊

Had this done last year at nearly 40 - just 11s and crows feet, not forehead — and loved it! Asked for baby Botox, stressed I wanted less not more and made such a big difference. Even a year after they were less pronounced than before, and was very subtle that my sister didn’t clock I’d done it til I told her a year later. Try it, not as scary as you think and if you don’t like it just don’t do it again.

I don't have before or after of mine but a) you're not too old b) you won't regret it.

If you imagine your relaxed resting face in that area with either no or soften lines that's roughly how your result will turn out.
Speak to a practitioner who can advise you better about your own circumstances but honestly it's one of the best things I've done for myself, mine lasts nearly 5 months and even then my lines are much less visible than they were before starting treatment. With a small amount of treatment natural movement is acheivable.

You’re a veritable spring chicken compared to how old I was when I first got Botox - 66.

I have it between my eyebrows for a very deep, longstanding 1 frown line rather than 11’s if you see what I mean. Has worked really well (my much younger sister is amazed at the fact I now have no trace of it!).
I keep it topped up about 3 x per year.
Good luck you won’t regret it.

You’re not too old but you will like it and would be easy to slip into more areas or even more tweakments. I personally think number 11 are a bit different as they are literally frown lines and affect people’s perception of your mood.
