    Talking Come on - anyone Botox?

    I want Botox. Only on my brow.
    I dont know anyone who has had it - or at least was willing to talk about it. Im not sure how to go about finding someone good and most importantly, is it ok to do when breastfeeding?

    Anyone admit to doing it or wanting to do it?

    My bestest friend had it done and his head looks shiny and smooth lol

    he said its the best money he has ever spent

    I don't know about the breastfeeding side of things.. Always ring and ask or email a place

    I would love to get it done but will settle for the tummy tuck first then move elsewhere hahaha

    Me me me!!! I soooooo want botox and will be getting it asap! Obviously it will be after Bumpty is born and weaned off me.

    I have a crease in the middle of my brow that I have lovingly named after my DH. I want it gone for as long as possible!

    yup - I have frown lines that I want gone! Too much grumping at my DS
    I told DH that I want it for my next birthday (mid yr) but he says Im too young (im in my early 30`s) and he is worried I will look all plasticy like certain celebs.
    Im not sure when I will wean but it might not happen before next pregnancy if we have another and that means I will have to wait a few more years!!!! And think how much worse the frown lines will be by then.

    I am hoping to get lipo after I have had my babies and DH is happy about that. He probably dosent realise yet he is the one paying for it

    I enquired about lipo a few years ago and they all said it was fine to get done inbetween pregnancys except for one who said 'wait till you have finished having babies', so I appreciated his honesty and am waiting. Might need a tummy tuck insted by then though

    Ok, well I for one can't imagine ever having it done...

    ...until I found out it's a routine treatment for anal fissure issues these days !

    But I still have trouble with the fact that it's a nerve poison...surely you could wait a few months until you're not BFing any more? In the grand span of your life, a few months is neither here nor there...?

    Lisa I think I've heard somewhere that it's good to have it when younger as a preventative measure rather than waiting till you're older and the lines are heavier. Dunno if it's true or not but sounds convincing

    Hi Lisa..

    My expression is fine..ok maybe not as much as before.. but I make sure I have plenty..but not too much.. so u can still see surprise etc in my face. The Nurse or doc have to know what they are doing. Some of the nurses who are really into it - are better then many of the docs.
    Also - will agree with Raven that the earlier the better. If you have distinct lines now without expression - you need to start before they get worse.. I started before I actually had deep lines so am pretty smooth except when I actually express a feeling.

    I have had it heaps of times, as I worked in a practice that did it... I loved it, friends used to say "you look well", and I could smile away without crows feet. A reputable GP wont go overboard, it is the best invention ever.

    Once I started ttc I stopped though, and now I am looking less fresh, I cant wait to have it again

    OMG i was talking about this topic whilst at my hairdresser yesterday ...

    I said to her i would love to be able to afford the luxury of botox and many other beauty procedures ... but having said that i said to her i would rather be of her young generation (i'm 43 and she is about 24) as by the time ' she ' is of an older age botox would have been around awhile to have learned of any possible side effects like i jokingly said to her "the face collasping" (?) ...

    I worked with a guy that was early 30's and he had botox done on a regular basis ... his face was so shiny after his treatment i would joke & ask if he had sprayed Mr Sheen on his face ... He truely had NOT a wrinkle in sight ... and he looked great (never tired even when he lacked sleep) !!
