I've been hesitating to post this because it is way OT - but the audience here is mainly female so here goes.
I'll be 52 years young this month. I have a bunch of wrinkles on my forehead that I've hated for years. Did lots of internet research on Botox, talked to a bunch of people and the overwhelming majority loved it. Yeah, I did the "injecting poison into my body? how can this be good" stuff, but decided that was a radical reaction (which I do often - the only time I see middle ground is when I'm running from one extreme to the other.)
ANYWAY - long story short - I hate it. I have small-ish eyes that are deep set. Botox has frozen/relaxed the muscles in my forehead which caused my eyebrows to droop and my eyelids look like lizard eyelids with a big fold in them. I look half asleep all the time. My eyebrows are perfectly horizontal - not a flattering look. I cannot get used to not moving my forehead muscles, I guess it's hard to break a 52 year habit. (One thing my friends told me was that after a couple of days you don't notice it - bull pucky!)
It might be OK for some people, but you have to assess your general facial structure first. I had it done by a board certified plastic surgeon, not at a Botox party. I now get to wait a couple more months for this to wear off and my eyelids to lift again. Until then, the gecko on that insurance commercial is my new brother.
