    Default Im getting botox on wednesday.....maybe

    So I have an appointment on wednesday to get some botox in my forehead and in between the eyebrows. It's a consult but if I want to go through with it on the day I can.

    So I've just been reading the brochure and it says a possible side effect is droopy eyebrows and eyelids. This is putting me off. I really want to get botox to prevent wrinkles occuring coz I am 28 and when I make facial expressions there are wrinkles but I dont want them to be there eventually when Im not even making the expressions. But this is too big a risk I think coz I would totally freak out if my eyelids went droopy. Plus how would I work if this happened?

    So does anyone know how common a side effect this is?

    You are 28 and getting botox? Please don't....save it for when you'll need it, like past 40 or 45.

    But it is preventative! It will stop any wrinkles from forming there. If I wait til I already have the wrinkles the results wont be as good.

    I went to see my surgeon the other day for a post op appointment from my breast augmentation and rhinoplasty and he said when I talk the lines show and that Botox stops the muscles from being able to move in such a way and therefore if I start now I will never get wrinkles there.

    As long as you go to a doctor, I wouldn't worry too much about droopy eyelids. Just tell them that's one of your concerns and focus more on your forehead.

    I had my forehead done and absolutely loved it. It does take about a week to kick in so don't freak out if you don't see results soon.

    Is it more likely to happen if u get it put in crows feet? I dont want it there coz I dont have wrinkles there coz my eyes are shaped differently.

    I only want it in forehead wrinkles and frown lines.

    I've met girls stripper and non stripper who get preventative botox and they look great. Many do the forehead and crows feet.

    The only person I know who got the droopy eyelid (on one side) had it injected too far down - like in the very bottom of her eyebrow. But she had it done by a tech at the doctor's office, not the doctor herself. Which is why I absolutely insist: doctors only!

    Also don't lie down for at least 4 hours afterward. That has an affect on the botulism migration too.

    It's the nurse at my surgeons rooms who does the injecting. He is an excellent surgeon. Do u think I should find another place where an actual doctor does it?

    So the droopy eyelid will only occur if the injection is placed in the wrong part or from lying down?

    I know someone who gets regular botox. While I myself would never do it, 28 IS a good age and my boss (the one who gets it done) doesn't look anywhere near her age. She's absolutely gorgeous and is often mistaken for 28 (and she's like...40?).

    28 is a prime age for botox, if you wait till 40 the damage may have been done and botox may not be able to reverse it. Botox is a preventive, not a wrinkle treatment.

    I would ask the office that's injecting you how common they see the side effect of drooping eyes.

    There was a thread about it here

    On the topic, Jai, sorry... is 22 too soon? Or would I keep my 22 face instead of my 28 face?

    I saw that thread a while back. It's my biggest concern with botox. I just re-read that thread and a few people mentioned a heavy forehead too.

    Hmmmm I dunno if I want to take the risk....

    Personally, I would think 22 is too young but it's up to you. Look at your Mom or Aunts and determine when they started to look older, and go from there?

    I really feel these side effects are not that common. I've been getting botox regularly for over a year and never experienced it, if that means anything.

    I don't see any lines... but by this logic I wonder if I could prevent seeing lines which would prevent wrinkles.

    I'm ALL about the preventative stuff lately. I use so much hand lotion and get so many facials and photorejuvinations and skin treatments now.

    People think I'm insane. "You don't need to fix that!" I don't want to fix ANYTHING, I LIKE how I look - I wanna keep it.

    It's like when people bitch that you're dieting. "You don't need to diet, you're thin."

    So what, I'm supposed to get fat and THEN go "shit, I really wish I didn't eat that cake you fed me when I was thin."

    Wow, that rant went on longer than I thought.

    Ooopps.

    Yeahso...anyone know if it's good preventative at 22 as well as 28?

    ^^ what are you getting your lips filled with?

    i got mine filled with restylane like 2 years ago and was pretty disappointed because they only lasted for like 2 1/2 months. Also immediatly after getting them done they were HUGE, but not from the filler, from swelling, and they were soo painful that I just sat on the floor and cried for a couple of hours....

    But i really really want to get mine done again, but this time with something that works...

    The droopy eyebrows is an effect of injecting botox on the wrong muscle group.

    I've had it a few times but it's been years. I started getting it at 25. I wish I could get it now.

    I had it done a couple weeks after my 23rd birthday.

    The first round doesn't last as long as subsequent injections - so be prepared for only 2-4 months of un-wrinkliness.
