The Results - Before and after!

28 August 2011

I almost forgot to post this again. I saw the before and after picture in a file on my computer so while I still remember I'm writing this quick post to show you my results.

Well, the photo I had before wasn't too clear sadly. So here's a shot I dug out. Actually the only one I could find.


Even when I'm not doing this silly pose you can still see lines, although not so pronounced, they're enough to bug me! So here is the before and after. I've tried to take the shot in similar lighting using my phone's camera again so that it's an accurate comparison. These photos show my forehead as it is when relaxed, before and after! 

Botox before and after pictures.
Not the best before and after that's ever been taken...errrm....sorry! But I guess you get a vague idea. It's been about 3 weeks since I had it done and I can tell you that for me, it's one of the best ways I've spent my hard earned dollar. I can still move my eyebrows so it looks very natural but I can no longer create any wrinkles on my forehead by raising my eyebrows. The permanent wrinkles that were there even when my forehead was completely relaxed are now gone, it's really amazing what Botox can do!

So my experience of Botox overall has been great. The process was so quick and almost painless. There's no downtime. The only side effect I can speak of is a minor headache for the first 24 hours. And the results are exactly what I was hoping for. Plus, I'm now fine with close up pics like this...
A really large french fry and my 'smooth like a baby's bum' forehead! 
I stole it from my boyfriend, here's what I ate...

Trio of salads - Slow roasted vegetables, beetroot and walnut salad and prawns in salsa. So delicious!
See...I'm actually being good now. Since I'm adding photos, here's my outfit from today. We went to brunch, my favourite thing to do on a Sunday morning.


Accessorizing with some simple smixed metals.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Megan Fox or Megan Faux Botox.

6 August 2011

Today is Saturday, boy am I happy about that!

What I'm not happy about is this old gem I came across on my computer. Eurgggh wrinkles!
The wrinkles are having a party on my forehead :'(
The Brown hair didn't get to stay long hopefully I can find a way to get rid of the lines too!

I'm sure some people reading this and looking at that photo will be wondering why I'm so bothered. I know I'm pulling a funny face but I have developed a big fear of wrinkles because they're a sign of aging. Now, I'm a big believer in the idea that if something bothers you then fix it. In this day and age cosmetic procedures are so common and easily accessible that more and more people are turning to them. One thing I was reading recently was about Megan Fox and how she took to Twitter to try and dispel rumours about having had Botox. She pulled a bunch of funny expressions to 'prove' she's not used the muscle freezing injections.

This doesn't look like a face she could pull if she currently
did have Botox but it also doesn't look like a face a normal
person can pull......hmmmm....
Megan Fox 'No Botox' Photos - looks like it hurts.

I would love to have eyebrows like this lady. Ironically
if you do want to get them you can use Botox, haha.

There's a few points I have to say on all this:
  • I think Megan Fox is beautiful, surgery or no surgery, Botox or no Botox.
  • Botox doesn't have to be used to freeze all muscles in your face/forehead - you can choose select areas - forehead, crows feet, between your eyebrows etc.
  • The effect of Botox wears off after about 3-5 months.
The main issue I have with it all though is that a simple google search will pull up plenty of evidence to suggest she's had plastic surgery on numerous areas like her nose, lips and breasts (you can check out a YouTube video about it here) but she has never admitted to anything. I can fully respect that people may not want to admit to things like that but it bugs me if they start trying to deny it. Just keep quiet, don't lie.

Megan Fox or Faux??
Before & aftter growing up or cosmetic surgery & Botox - you decide....

Many celebrities have come forward and admitted using Botox in recent years. It's almost as common as going for a facial in Hollywood so if I were Megan (yeah....a girl can dream!) I'd just admit it if I'd done it.

On the other hand if she REALLY hasn't used it I think she should be flattered that people think it looks like she has. That means she's been blessed with amazing flawless skin that's standing up to the aging process all by itself. Something I can only wish I had.
