Botox: Stories

I've always thought that my chubby face was the culprit for bad photos, so imagine my excitement when I found out that botox could slim your face!

13/12/12 So off I went to absolute cosmetics (in Australia) and five minutes later I was sent on my way with a couple of bite like stings in my massater muscles (he only injected in one entry point on either side of my face).

Of course, I spent the next couple of weeks checking out my face at every opportunity I could get, eagerly awaiting for my face to slim. It hadn't slimmed, but my smile started to look ... Lopsided? I wondered if my face had been this asymmetrical and I had only just noticed? But it started to look worse. I have a beautiful wide smile normally but now my right side will not lift making me look like I've had a stroke! I really look like I'm (excuse the French and vulgar analogy) trying to take a f**king dump!

I now avoid photos and try to keep my face neutral when I'm in public but behind the scenes I am exercising that right side like there is no tomorrow. I do this by holding my left side down and trying to smile (lift) my right side. When I think about it, the nurse who had admitted me had also had jaw botox. I now remember thinking that SHE had a very lopsided face but it didn't occur to me that jaw botox could be the cause! I wish I had seen all the reviews on here by other users! Watch this space because i will keep you updated and there are photos to soon follow. Until then botox (peace) out.

03/01/13 I went to see the doc again about my lopsided face and he just confirmed everything I had read on here. I just have to wait it out. He thinks the wait could be anything from 3 weeks up to 3 months. I'm guessing it will be the latter. But I have to admit, my face is much slimmer and I do love that aspect of it. So for me, it's worth it because I would rather have a slimmer face and go back to the same doc so he knows where to inject the botox without affecting the muscles that lift my smile.
Here are the photos as promised!!!
