I'm 26 turning 27 this year and don't have any lines. The reason I got botox is because I frown too much -- I do it subconsciously all the time! So I went to the doc, he analyzed my frowning and because I "have such thick muscles", recommended 30 units.
He did two shots in the Glabeller lines on each side, then three shots (on each side) right above the eyebrow. This was done on Thursday, today is Tues. I feel tighter everywhere (harder to raise my eyebrows in the front) BUT I can still frown! Albeit, not as much as before, but i still catch myself subconsciously frowning/being able to frown.

Great review?
My Doctor: Lee Thompson
My rating:
She knows exactly what she's doing and I totally trust her "less is more" approach. After all, you can always go back for more!
Butterfly, I have a question for both you and Barbie: Do/did either of you experience a sort of "bulging" effect post injections, or has your forehead(s) been the same size/shape as before treatment? I'm not sure if what I am experiencing is a normal side effect of Botox, or if it is just residual swelling, and so far, the doctors have not responded to the Q I posted in Q&A (with photos). To be fair, I posted over the weekend. Still, I would like answers, be it from a doctor, or from other Botox patients.
