Comments on: Botox or Bust? http://niralimagazine.com/2006/12/botox-or-bust/ For the modern South Asian. Mon, 15 Mar 2010 08:22:29 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Cealz http://niralimagazine.com/2006/12/botox-or-bust/comment-page-1/#comment-39913 Cealz Thu, 25 Dec 2008 03:29:07 +0000 http://niralimagazine.com/2006/12/botox-or-bust/#comment-39913 Botox is not used to plump lips. It can be injected around the upper lip to soften smokers lines and sometime offer a bit of a "lift" to the lip which can make it appear fuller. If you are looking to plump up your lips you would be looking at filler like Juviderm which is now offered with Lidocaine in it. This makes the proceedure less painful and more accurate as you tend to swell much more when you pre-freeze the area. As for prices of botox- it is sold by the unit, and price depends on who is injecting and what area. Downtown Toronto can get away with charging $18-$20 per unit, where Richmond Hill area will ask 10-12, and Bolton even as low as $8. Just make sure you are getting it done at an established place and that the injectors have been properly trained. Also- if you have the option to pay less than $8, don't do it. The Botox is likely "black-market" and not pure. Botox is not used to plump lips.

I first had botox because i had a very deep frown line between my eye brows and very very often people would think i was grumpy as i had a permanent frown, the results were fantastic, i love the results so much, i dont tell anyone, but always get comments on how great my skin is or how well i look when its been done, howver i must point out that i have very deep lines round my eyes @ 29 yrs old not good! this i truely beleive is because where i cannot move parts of my face the skin under my eyes is over compensating and putting alot of strain on this area causeing it to age alot quicker, and now i dont think i could stop the treatments as my eye brows look lower and heavy and tired when the botox wears off, so id suggest anyone thinking of this should think long and hard first, not to menthion its approx £300 evrey 4 months.

Nevertheless, the illustration you are using appears a little sensational and is definately misleading: Botox is never ever injected in the lips!

I liked the botox alternatives you listed too. Being south asian and a lot looking younger than I am, I find that it actually hurts me to look young in my career. I'm actually trying to do things to AGE myself, such as dress extra professional, tie my hair back, wear more makeup, etc. I find that I command more respect. I'm not a proponent of Botox b/c I believe in aging gracefully, but I'm glad you disproved some of the myths. Plus, I'll probably change my mind about Botox when I'm 40. Did i mention that GLOW is a great salon??? I need to schedule another appointment... Sarah,
