I never realized how many facial expressions I use when talking until I smashed my face. It hurts a bit every time I raise my eyebrows and I can't seem to stop myself from doing it. Maybe this is a good excuse to look into botox. As much as I would love to get rid of the wrinkles I don't think I'd want to permanently give up my expressions.
Would you or have you had or considered botox?

Heck no!!! I don't like having needles sticking in my arm, much less in my FACE!!! Gah!!
ReplyDeleteHope your eye is feeling a little bit better today!! :)
I've considered Botox because, like you, I raise my eyebrows a lot. I also inherited my father's tendency to develop deep lines on my forehead, and these have been in evidence to some extent since my late 20s.
ReplyDeleteUltimately I decided not to do the Botox injections. My root objection to anything like this is that losing 50+ lbs would do more to improve my looks than any cosmetic procedure. So until I lose that weight, I refuse to do anything invasive, even minimally invasive like injections.
Plus, I have to say, as a former nurse and current medical malpractice attorney, I tend to always think about the "worst case scenario," which will scare you off just about any medical procedure.
No not yet. Maybe in 40 years time. But I would like to try and age gracefully first.
ReplyDeleteNever say never, though.
Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yes I have thought about it, a lot. My bf said I 'better not' do it, but I might do it in secret. Maybe for my bday next year.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the OC though - all my friends (in our 30s) are doing it.
Never considered botox but I probably should! :) So sorry that you are still in pain - hope it gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteNever say never but I truly can't imagine injecting that stuff into my body. :-p
ReplyDeleteHi. I will consider it when I feel I'm getting a bit wrinkly. Right now my facial fat is making me look younger than my years!
ReplyDeleteI would be careful to only have it done lightly though - I wouldn't want to be "frozen".

OMG! I have been trying for soooo long to get on your blog and comment, but every time I try my computer freezes! I have no idea why???? But today, I closed everything down except one window, closed down even my MSN Messenger, and I'm here!
ReplyDeleteYour eye... hope it's all better, or at least looking a bit better!
BOTOX... HELL NO! That would involve a NEEDLE eh? I don't like needles... really don't like needles! BIGGEST SOOK about needles!
Unless you love needles, and the expense, I say get wrinkles! They show CHARACTER... well that's my story....
What is your email address? If I continue having problems with commenting, at least I can send you an email! mine is: stewandchris@hotmail.com
ReplyDeletedid I mention how happy I am to be able to even get on your blog? lol... just wanted to leave you a few comments, cos I havn't been able to for ages and ages! Have a lovely day... and weekend too!
ReplyDeleteI saw a study they did that some of the botuline toxin in the botox actually makes it's way to your brain...
ReplyDeleteso, um..no.
Besides. Every time I see Nicole Kidman, I remember how much I like it when my forehead moves.
Speaking cannot be void of facial expressions..so go on express yourself.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the injury!!! And there is no way in hell anyone is approaching my face with a needle. I'd punch their lights out first. :)
ReplyDeletei think it is dangerous doing botox - why take the chance of something going wrong
ReplyDeleteI would never get Botox! I love how I can make all kinds of faces and expressions with my face. I'd hate to lose that ability.
