Now before you judge let me say this: NO REGRETS!For years now when I woke up the guy staring back at me in the mirror wasn't a familiar face. He was tired, worn and angry looking. On the inside, he was full of energy and high spirited. So when I met with my cosmetic surgeon I told her this. I wasn't looking to take 10 years off my face...I was looking for a fresh start. I got that and then some!
We talked about life experience and even though I had a chalk full of lessons learned, it were these lessons that sat on my face. The next day, around 5pm I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror...my old friend Frank was back and better than ever. It was a moment that seemed to healed the last couple of years. The guy staring back was still 30 years old but he was refreshed and this is what made me smile.
For those of you out there who are thinking about Botox I have this advice for you all:
1) Think about it...why do you want it? If you're 30 and want to look 18 it's not going to happen. Don't run from age...but you can kick the signs of age in the nuts!
2) Do your homework. Know what you're getting and find a doctor who will answer your questions. Again, I love my doctor. She and I sat down and talked. I told her that I didn't want to look 'frozen' (I actually still have movement in my forehead). I wanted to look rested and refreshed.
3) Know that Botox is not permanent but with time it will prevent further damage.
4) Do it...you'll love it! No need to get carried away but a little does go a long way!
