I chose to get botox as a preventive procedure and to help with my current lines. I have lines when i make facial expressions (no current lines at rest). Before i booked a consultation i was afraid the provider would inject too much at first. But when i went in they were very carful to start out at a low dose (25 units total). I was injected on my forehead (12 units), eleven lines(9 units) and crows feet (4 units). I already have been taking collagen everyday (For at least 1 year now) to help with my skins elasticity. Its only been 4 days but i can already see some smoothness throughout my face.
1 week out and FREAKING!!!!! One second I'm so excited and can barely stand it and then the next I'm crying and thinking of cancelling. I have never had surgery before so that unknown alone is scarey. Whenever I start to loose my nerve I picture myself comfortable in all my clothes and maybe a bikini this summer. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!! A BIKINI!! I haven't touched one since I was 21, maybe even 20. Just feeling confident in my own skin is worth it. My husband is so sweet. I have been working so hard the last 3 years to get where I am and he says how beautiful I am but he understands why I need to do this. Very few people know I'm having this done. I don't want to deal with the stigma of the procedure. So I am thankful for a site like this :)
