Hi Everyone.
My internet has been shifty, so sorry for the lag.
I have more movement now, and no strange lines. I am feeling much better about it, although I notice every time I put on eye makeup that I need to put it in different places.
I hope that the brows go back up, but at least for now, I can have some expression on my face again!!!
Yes, it is like Russian Roulette. I would have to say. My doctor (the family member) did not want to do this. She said I didn't need it. She was right. I BEGGED her to do it, because I was turning 32, newly single, and living on a new continent. Now this all sounds so trite.
My advice. If you don't need it, if you look "ok" but you are trying to look like a magazine model, DO NOT DO IT. Maybe one day, when I have popped a few kids out, and I am looking my age, I won't care if my eyebrows drop. But now, it wasn't really worth it.
All in all. I still look ok. The irony is, I am a feminist. And I fell into the trap of trying to look like a movie star.
At least it wasn't bad breast implants!
Blessings all.
Thank you for all of the feedback. I am so sorry to hear of your experience "tried but failed". I must admit, in reading all of this, I am quite terrified.
I had not seen that I was getting responses, and I only saw all of this now. It has been 5 weeks since the Botox, and I am feeling much better. I do not have the eye strain or the headaches anymore. I can't move my forehead at all, but I can lift my eyebrows a tiny bit.
Now I am concerned about what may happen once the movement comes back. I was told, and had read on here before my own post, that after the Botox, you go back to looking the same. Now I am really concerned that I will look WORSE.
I still feel getting this was a mistake, since no one can even tell the difference, and I feel fearful and a bit silly. My frown lines look great, and overall, people think I look young and attractive, so I suppose I cannot complain. But I don't think it was worth it.
Are there any experiences out there where there might have been some similar effects, but they wore off? and were fine?
Thanks again.
