You won't turn uglier through Botox, I promise you. The effects go away after a few months if you don't like it. You are talking about facelifts who make you look really weird and it stays like that. Botox will not do that to you.

If you use too much on your forehead it will feel like you have a brick on your forehead, you have to be careful. That feeling will go away after a few weeks.

But for the two wrinkles in the middle you do not need much botox and you can stretch it out to 4-5 months. So this is 2x per year about $200 if you use Groupons, I think. Totally worth it.

Some advertise here with $10/unit as a special deal but you can probably find it even cheaper on Groupon. I think you need about 20-30 units for those two wrinkles if I remember correctly.

Try it once and report back. It is a life changer.

That's also called BRF:

Mrs. NBP has it. It's a constant struggle now that we're both retired for me to figure out what's going on.

Then I had a bf who picked fights with me because he kept thinking I am disapproving of things he is saying. I was not - it just looked that way because of my angry frown line

I started with botox. Best decision ever.
So in short - I had a bitchy resting face. Now I have a neutral resting face.
Eve, I enjoy reading your posts! You are always so open. I love the "neutral" resting face!

Yes. I have this problem. I take care of it with Botox and a filler. I have this done, usually, 3-4 times each year. If prevents the "eleven" from becoming deeper.

My niece is 31 and she's been doing the same thing since her 20s. I wish it was around when I was that age,

Turn uglier through Botox

Where do they get these ideas? Many people were shocked when they saw Madonna's rubbery looking face, and Platypus like lips.

Eve, have you noticed that so many people this Botox is responsible for all of the bulbous lips out there?
The Duck Billed lips are the result of too much filler.
Botox smooths and relaxes deep wrinkles. I have gotten a small amount of filler between my eyebrows WITH Botox.

The prices really vary according to where you live. LA and NYC are both more expensive than Ohio, where I currently live.

I have the wrinkles in my forehead done also. I am also a big fan of Groupon.

I did not mean turn uglier through Botox. I meant some other methods that some people used; and they dreamt to be beautiful, but they turned out ugly.

About Botox, I was worrying if I start to use it, and when I stop, don't feel like to use it anymore for some reason such as feeling tired of going to appointments, will my face turn wrinkly and old fast? I disliked to go to see doctors because most of the time I had to wait for a long time even I booked ahead for those appointments. I feel tired of sitting and waiting in the clinics.

Anyway, I may try. If or when I use it, I'll share the result.

Has anyone got those lines on either side of the nose and from the outer edges of the mouth down to the chin line? It's age, I know, but it would be wonderful if there were a fix for these like there is for "the 11's." Ideas?

I got the 11s from working in offices with over head fluorescent lighting for decades. My blue eyes are light sensitive so I was squinting a lot.
If you can afford botox why not got for it? Save the 11s for your old age. lol
