Fillers and Botox!!!

“don’t do it” I hear, “you’ll end up with a plastic face” is cried. Yes I know you see some weird and downright disasterous attempts at finding the fountain of youth. I mean Joan Rivers does kinda look like an accident in a Barbie factory but heck she’s 70 odd right!
I’m thinking a little something to eliminate the number 11 inbetween my thinning brows, and something more to eradicate the railway tracks across my forhead.
I’ve tried all the magic creams and gels, mistakenly rubbing them on the afflicted area when I obviously should have ingested them.
So this is next….right?
Now the research begins, what do I need? how much does it cost? where do I go?
The gods of google have directed me to a site from where I can purchase my own injectables if I “promise” that I’m a medical professional (scoff), thankfully good sence is still holding and the thought of ending up with a face like smashed crab has prevented me from plunging head first into that one. Any advice from my beautiful sisters would be greatly appreciated 🙂

    Im starting to think I need these. Not only do I have furrows in my brow.. but I’ve started showing the old smoking lines around the mouth (ex smoker). just not sure if they would work for that.

    I have been having Botox for a number of years now. I go for smaller doses and then have a touch up of required.
    I have always been very happy with my practitioner but I do believe you need to do your homework for this and any other procedures you are curious about.

    Many places will give you a consultation and quote before encouraging you to go home and have a good think before making an appointment.

    Just be careful with Botox and other means to fill up these wrinkles. They can really have a negative effect on your body and face.

    Can I also add to this????
    Has anybody had a non surgical nose job? Or know anybody who has had it done??
    Or has anybody tried a product called Nasofix?
    Thanks!

  • Can anyone recommend a highly trustworthy and friendly place to get lip injections done in Sydney? I am from the Blue Mountains but willing to travel.

    i hate my 11 lines, but trying to do facial exercises, not tensing the muscles there and perhaps will try some skincare than can relax the muscles containing “SNAP”, a botox equivalent before i go down that path.

    have tried botox for a dfferent area (not face) and it doesn’t last and it is expensive.

    I wanted to reboot this thread cos I need info on Botox! Seriously considering it for my horrible forehead. Anyone done it recently? Cost? Discomfort factor? Happy with results?

    I haven’t had Botox but have gotten juvaderm in my top lip. Looks great and super natural, just be weary for your first time, you will have swelling and maybe some bruising. I wasn’t prepared for this and woke up the next morning, looked in the mirror and cried for hours because I thought I would look like a duck forever haha! After two days it all settled down though!

    I am feeling the same and at my age i would really love to get some of my deep lines done. I would really love to get either fillers or botox. I only wish i had the money to get it done. And at my age I really hate the lines around my lip and eye areas. I wish they just werent as expensive as they are. As i know that my confidence would really be boosted if i could have these deeper lines taken care of. Would be great to get a trial done so we could really see the before and afters of this process. I saw on TV some younger girls in their teens 18 and 19 getting botox of the foreheads. And i really think getting it done so young is really abit silly, as they havent aged yet. When there are woman my age who would love to get rid of their deep lines.
