Exclamation

The plastic surgeon I went to for botox around the eyes said that botox does not work well for smile lines. He suggests collegen for smile lines.

I've read that botox is good for the upper face and collagen and the like for the lower face.

Re: botox

Unlike the rest of you smart people, I had never heard not to use botox on the lower face. I went to a different person for botox this last time. She suggested botox in my lower face as well as the usual forehead frown lines and crowsfeet around my eyes. She gave me an injection on each side in jaw area. No problems except if I smile really big the right side is not as broad, sort of a lopsided smile. Also, if I am eating something like a large sandwich, I have to pull down my lip on the right side or it gets between my teeth and the sandwich. It's not that big a deal and I know it is only temporary. I'm certainly glad I'm no going around drooling! This lady had a great touch, I could hardly feel the injections and she left no pin marks. I think I will go back to her but no more botox in my jaws. I think she was trying to relieve the downard pull of my mouth, which I am all for. Any suggestions how I might acheive this? I've had collegen injections in and around lips and did not care for that either. I looked like Daffy duck for a while. And I did not like the feeling that there were lumps of something in my lips. Oh, to be naturally beautiful.
