First time Botox or Fillers

If I remember correctly, you certainly don't need it.

I wouldn't do it for the first time right before the wedding. It takes time to learn how many units work best.

It seems risky to try botox or fillers for the first time right before your wedding. You don't know how your body might react or if you'll like the way it looks. You don't need botox anyways

Why would you do that? I don't think there is any need, and specially before your wedding. So people react to it, so if you want to experiment- do it after your wedding

I wanted to get it done a month before the wedding in case I bruise. I appreciate the responses that I don't need it but I have lines around my mouth and crows feet that I hate!

Do not take the risk of a procedure like that before your wedding. You don't know how your body will react.

I wouldn't take that risk. You don't know how your body will react to the botox.

I still wouldn't do it for the first time a month before. I'm very pro-botox if it makes you feel good, I've been getting it in my forehead since i was 24 and love it. But the first few times I looked kinda frozen. It took a bit to find exactly the right amount of units that gives me a very natural look.

Make absolute 100% sure that you go to someone who knows what they're doing, and a lot of this worry will be unnecessary, I promise. I wouldn't suggest Botox around the mouth, instead they'll likely do a filler that will help plump any lines there. As far as Botox for crows feet, Botox works better than any jar of eye cream, and in most cases, the results are beautiful. An experienced injector should be able to determine the proper units to inject, and where, to give you the best results.

Make sure you tell them you want the look as natural as possible. Sometimes if you inject only around the crows feet/eye smile lines, that's when a person could look frozen, so they may also inject around your brow, forehead, and 11's to ensure you get an overall even aesthetic. Good luck!

Right before the e-shoot, my photographer asked me what my concerns were. I told him about some scars I had, where they were, and he edited them out of the photos.

I would do that before I had a needle put in my face. Photoshop is a wonderful thing, and it's pain-free! lol

I am debating as well, my hairstylist gets it and loves it. The reason I am on the fence is for reasons listed above.

I second Photoshop Gymmie.

With a little photoshopping those lines will go away. Getting it under your armpits for sweat management is one thing, but aggressive fillers or Botox can have you looking like Daffy Duck. Restylane is used in the folds around the lips and is more of an art form than Botox wait on it.

Especially since the medically trained professional suggested it, I would wait until after the wedding. For the wedding itself, hire a pro makeup artist. For the pictures you plan on having reprinted and displayed, talk to your photographer about retouching those areas.

Our engagement photographer (different than the one shooting our wedding) told me he could airbrush or photoshop and it looks like he did absolutely nothing! I hate our engagement pics so that's why it's even more important to me to have beautiful wedding pictures.

I'm going to go for a consultation and see what they recommend, if anything.

I regularly do Botox and I've had facial fillers and lip filler. I recommend it if you want it. But I do suggest going sooner rather than later, because you can bruise and swell.

24 years old and getting Botox injections? Thanks, beauty magazines...

I said it on another thread and I guess I need to say it again.

America makes me sad sometimes.

@Rachel, i promise it's not because of beauty magazines! I have a couple of deep lines in my forehead, and I hated looking at them, especially being as young as i was. Doing this is the one thing I do to pamper myself, i don't get my hair dyed, don't get my nails done. I do it for me, not because society said I needed it.

Update - I went for a consultation at a plastic surgeon's office a couple weeks ago and got my Botox today! I did my crows feet and underneath my eyes. For anyone debating it - it was extremely quick and painless! I spent about an hour at the consultation and felt so good after talking to the nurse about what I wanted done, what I thought I wanted but she said I didn't need, etc. Can't wait to see my results!
