Botox

[rockyracoon]

Has anyone had Botox in their face? If so, do you mind sharing your experience. I’m not interested in a debate about why anyone would use it or not.

Thanks in advance.

No - If I were prone to physical alteration, which I'm not, there are far more pressing areas needing a surgeon's attention first!

I haven't had it personally but two friends, both former nurses, administer it to each other with variable results.

rocky.........be careful.

My wife has had "filler" around her eyes but not Botox which seems to be side stepped by the medical profession.

My advice would be to avoid Botox and seek the advice of a plastic surgeon or faciomaxillary chap who will use "filler" and not Botox.

My wife had Botox in her face as part of her NHS treatment for a medical condition. It didn't help.

I have a work colleague who's had it for furrows in her forehead (and as far as I know still does, it's not permanent is it?). She is only in her mid 20s!! So many people do have it done I assume the percentage success rate is pretty high but you'd have to be fairly confident to go ahead. Personally, I'd be too scared I think.

No, I haven't. My face is far from perfect but it's what I was given and I'm happy with it

Thanks all. I’m debating at the moment as I’m starting to feel my age. I have had a look at fillers, but it’s a lot longer lasting than botox, so if it goes pair shaped it’ll wear off after about 3 months.

Was Mrs Squad pleased with hers?

Rocky have a read of this before you make any decisions.

rocky.......very, very pleased.

Thanks, Sharon. Scary isn’t it. If anyone had asked me a couple of years ago, I would have laughed at the thought of doing this. I think I’ve found a clinic in London that do all sorts of cosmetic surgeries. I wouldn’t go to the local beauty salon for them to jab needles in my face.

I’m still undecided, but will look at the filler options, they’re double the cost of Botox but last twice as long.

I hate getting old :(
