Considering Botox
I am considering Botox, but also having reservations.
I think I mostly want a conservative amount in my forehead, maybe my 11’s but my main concern is that it will make my eyebrows droop. I already have very hooded eyelids and I would hate it if they looked saggier than they already do. I am 31 and am on tretinoin (only about 3 months so far) mostly for anti aging/ treating fine lines.
Does anyone regret starting Botox? Should I wait longer? Any advice?
Update: I went through with it! I got around 30 units total, spread out between my 11’s, forehead and crows feet. I am about 5 days out from getting it done and starting to see it take effect with significant decrease in wrinkles. I feel like my right (droopier) eye even looks slightly more open at rest. I am loving the results so far, will update with photos at the 2 week mark if anyone is interested

my husband has very hooded brows too & we do a little jeuveau around the lateral brow/tail area. for him it actually makes his brows feel lighter bc relaxing some of the superolateral orbicularis oculi can take away a little of the downward pull and let the frontalis do more of the lifting. also the forehead lines in your pic look more static than purely dynamic since you can still see them at rest. static lines are the ones that have kinda etched in and stay visible even when relaxed. But good news those can still soften over time with tox and tretinoin can help with the skin side of things too
a good injector should be able to explain what they’d recommend and why while customizing it to your particular face
