Are the lines deep? What about a series of facials or peels? That would "renew" your skin.
Personally, I think 33 sounds a little young to get on the botox-train. Once you start, it'll be hard to stop (Botox does wear off so you have to keep going back)
I don't see any lines--I think you're gorgeous!
Also, have you done any research on Botox? I've heard it has scary side effects.
I would use restalyn if anything its more of a permanent thing
I already talked to the dermatologist and they said the only way to fix it was botox..chemical peels wouldn't work......if the dermatologist would have given me other options i would have for sure been open to them!
I probably shouldn't have posted a wedding picture..the airbrush makeup hides alot....I def heard of the side effects but it wouldn't be approved to use if it wan't okay...
I honestly don't think you need it. You're beautiful! If you start now, you'll keep going back and soon you'll look so fake, like Nicole Kidman.
I think ultimately it's important to do what you want. Though, it's also important to really consider the reasons for the desire for botox. (I only say this because I know people who use plastic surgery esque things to try and feel better physically, when it's really more things deeper than that that they are trying to address).
Personally, I think you look really lovely, airbrushed photo or not. And, like Pink said, it will be blah to get hooked to something you keep having to go back for. (It can get expensive, and you don't want to end up like those emotionless people who can't move their face). And, it is approved by the FDA, though it doesn't mean it's wonderful...lots of things that are approved have lots of icky side effects, and it's important for you to decide if the potential risks are weighed out by the benefits which is something only you can decide for yourself.
In my personal opinion, things like lines in a face, or freckles, or minor "imperfections" (note the quote) are what make people look lovely and interesting, much more so than the plastic surguried faces that look like they have all uniqueness sucked away. But that is just MY opinion, and ultimately I think you know yousrelf best, and only you can decide what you want to do. But in my opinion, you don't need it.
Oh, I sympathize! My bf said he would be very upset if I did that but I also want a little botox and maybe a liiiiitttle retsalyn - oh well! Guess I should be happy that he loves me as I am but I do tell him that if he ever decided to leave me to put a positive spin on it. Instead of telling me "i am leaving you' he should tell me 'you can finally get the botox you wanted'! :P
Botox is really scary to me. I say injecting yorself with toxin to get rid of lines we can't see = not worth it. How nice that your husband is so adament about loving you just the way you are!!
Peronsally, I don't think you need it. I agree that little imperfections make someone more beautiful.
i agree with your husband...sorry...
first of all i dont think you need it and honestly what i think of when i think of someone who has botox is not pretty.
I think you are great just as you are...
What wrinkles?! You look beautiful!
Did your dermatologist mention RetinA Micro at all? I'm no expert by any means, but my derm said it speeds up cell turnover. I don't know how well it works for deep-set wrinkles but honestly I can't tell that you have ANY wrinkles.
Although I don't think you need it if you are doing something for yoursalf and not for the opinion of other people then you need to talk to him about why you want and make sure that it is absolutely positively what you want...
If you are doing something for yourself* Sorry it's late and I am obviously having trouble typing :)
I am getting Botox before my wedding and my FH is completely against it. I say- TOO BAD FOR HIM! i am doing this for me because I am unhappy with the way that I look and I want to look my best on our wedding day. I am using my own money, and to be honest, he probably won't even notice. I say GO FOR IT! If you are using your own money, then who cares? Its your face/money, do what you want.
my mom does botox she is 50 just on the lines on her forehead so she doesnt look frozen or anything she does it twice a year. she had these lines that just alaways made her look mad even if she wasnt. she has had 2 sessions so far and she looks so amazing and she is so confident now she has retuened to the dating world and has been working out and has a whole new outlook on life. so im all for it as long as it doesnt consume you!!!
you should go for it if you want to. there's nothing wrong with getting botox. it's a very common procedure in many cities and countries since it's simple, fast, and safe. in fact, it's so common in asia that even people (both guys and girls) in their 20s do it (even though i don't condone it since they are too young).
Are the lines on your forehead visible to other people?? Do you see them in this picture? Because i cant see them
I would love to try it, but I need to get a job before I can try it. I'm 41! Lots of women are already doing it in their 30's. Most derms say there is no substitute for botox, it is the best there is, unless something else comes along in the future. If you do it, let us know how it works out!
Let me start out by saying that getting Botox in your 20's and 30's will prevent you from getting wrinkles as you age. I think it makes more sense to start now if the wrinkles bother you than to wait until they are worse. The finer the wrinkles, the less Botox you will need at each treatment :-) I'm 29 and began getting Botox earlier this year as a preventative measure. I love it.

I get botox, but I have hyperhidrosis, which basically means that I sweat, everywhere, all the time and it looks like I've stood outside in a tsunami. Yeah. Botox can be used for that to lessen if not stop, excessive sweating now, and I jumped on it the moment I knew I could get it.
I know it's not for the same reason, but I wasn't happy about feeling like I had waterfalls under my armpits and I was extremely self concious about it. I didn't like it, so I fixed it.
I see nothing wrong with it.
I say go for it, just don't let yourself go overboard.
It's up to you. (and I kind of believe that if you went and did it without telling him, he might not even notice)
But if you do do it then please make sure that you go to a board-certified medical doctor that you have meticulously researched. There are some horror stories out there.
I think you look beautiful but if you want Botox, go get it! I am getting married mid November and am getting botox in the next couple of days!!!! Whatever makes you feel good!
If it really bothers you, then I say go for it. You do look quite young but I understand how you can zero in on little things that other people don't particularly notice and they just drive you up the wall.
There's a Botox alternative called Selphyl that you may want to look into if it's available in your area. It's a bit more subtle, but it's a non-synthetic, non-animal-derived treatment that uses your own platelets and doesn't fill in wrinkles so much as it encourages your own tissues to repair themselves. Apparently you see results in about 3 weeks and they last for a year.
@sceeder: Totally agree. I want to age gracefully and be proud of my wrinkles someday. I will have earned them!
Based upon my comment above, I don't understand obviously, but if you feel this is something you need/want to do, then I would speak to your husband again and see what he thinks. Ultimately, I don't think he should have to agree with it, since it is something that seems so important to you. (Unless it's dangerous? I don't know much about botox) Maybe you can show him info. on it so he is more informed.
im 28 i also have forehead and 11 lines the botox kind of pushed my eye down so i have a heavy eyelid i dont know i looked better before the botox because my eye was open natural looking now i have no line but think i look suprised lol my fiance tells me im crazy but mmm i dont listen obv you live in nyc go to dr jacono he is very good google him
I LOVE botox! The main thing is to find a doctor who is really good at it.
I'm older than most of the brides here, so I need it more. But I get a great result. I can't imagine FH trying to talk me out of it. Heck, he's tagged along to watch a couple of times.
I'm getting it every 6 mos now in hopes of thinning out the forehead muscles to the point where I don't need it anymore.
It also helps with migraines, btw.
You do look beautiful, but if you want to botox, I think it should be up to you.
? Don't do it dollface. I think women look best natural. Get some natural products for wrinkle reduction if you are feeling like you need it.

I am 33 and although people think i look younger sometimes (i will post a pic), I have lines in my forehead that i HATE.
I just asked my husband if he would be okay with me exploring botox and he said absolutely not...ugh..i don't know..he says he doesn't care what i look like and loves me for me..but i am self consious and have no issues with it or a little nip or tuck....
He really can't tell me what to do, but I dont' want to do something like this if he is really opposed.....
Thoughts?
