I was really worried that my facial expressions would look awkward after getting Botox.

I was worried that my facial expression might look awkward after getting Botox.

The reason I kept putting off Botox was not because I was afraid it wouldn't work.

Actually, I was worried that my expression might look stiff because it went in so well.

I tend to put a lot of tension between my eyebrows, especially.
I was bothered by the deep wrinkles that formed when I smiled or concentrated, but
I didn't want even my natural facial expressions to disappear.

Then, while organizing recent photos
I noticed that frown lines appeared repeatedly in several photos, more than I expected.

At that time, I thought it would be a good idea to try it out.

I received one session of glabellar Botox at the end of August, and the cost was in the 100,000 won range.

Even when counseling, rather than completely restricting facial expressions
I told them that I wanted to maintain my usual facial expression while only reducing the degree to which wrinkles deepen.

The procedure itself did not take long.
It was just a slight sting when the injection went in.
There was no particular inconvenience even after it was finished.

However, since the results are not immediately visible for the first few days
It bothered me for no reason.

Try moving your eyebrows on purpose every time you look in the mirror
I even frowned as usual.

After about a week, I felt that my habit of tensing my eyebrows had decreased a little.

However, that did not mean the expression disappeared.

There was movement even when smiling.
However, the degree to which deep wrinkles formed when I inadvertently applied force was less than before.

I was most satisfied with this part.

And surprisingly, there was a difference when applying makeup.

In the past, if foundation settled between the eyebrows
There was a time when I gently spread it out with my finger.
Recently, the frequency of checking that part has decreased.

It has been about a month since the procedure, and I haven't experienced any discomfort such as bruising or swelling.

People around me didn't notice that I had gotten Botox.

I also feel that my face has changed, rather than
I feel that I look slightly less tired when I take photos.

At first, I was worried my expression might stiffen, but
I think the approach of not making excessive changes actually suited me well.

Next time, until wrinkles start bothering me again
I do not intend to rush into getting additional procedures.
