I have been thinking about doing it too. I actually went to have it done about a year ago but the doctor had left her key to her cabinet at home that day so I never went back. I thought that was a sign. But this year, I might have money left in my flex spending account so I might try it. I don't want it anywhere but the 11 lines. I actually think the crows feet around eyes are kind of, not a bad thing. I think Princess Diana looked better as she aged. ( I am, sadly, not in her league, though).

Just had it redone today, have "11 " lines between the brows. Been going for 2 1/2 years, it's vain and a bit expensive but I don't care!

Oh, yeah, it works, my lines are much softer and one has almost disappeared completely-it wasn't as deep as the other.

I've done it 3x so far. I went a year in between and really needed it! I can see the point of some posts though. When I recently saw DVF on the Rachel Zoe project, she had lines but somehow they looked good on her (does that make sense?) She is aging gracefully. I would like to do botox but maybe twice a year. That's all I can really afford anyway. I also agree about some derms do it better than others. This last time I went to someone new and found the experience and results different.

I had it done in July for migraine relief and will be getting it again at the end of October. A great side benefit for getting it for migraines is that it would fix all the areas women generally get it for - forehead lines, crows feet, 11's, etc., as they put it in all those places. I don't have any wrinkles though so don't get the added benefit.

I had mine done for the first time in July and am soon going to need it again. I got it for migraines but they put it in all the same places they would for wrinkles and the "11" between the eyes.

There are a few other botox threads already...you may want to do a search.

If you go to a place that has a "botox rewards card", you can get it done every 6 months and get $25 off each time. That is what I have done. I had it once in Feb and then first of Aug. I plan to go again in Feb, and maybe add a few places.

Each time it lasts longer and longer. After my first 15 units, I went back two weeks later and received 15 more unis. That lasted me 90 days. Then I was in again 90 days later, then 4 months later. This last time was 6 months, and I'm sure that I will keep going about 2x/year from now on.

I do it every 28 weeks on a schedule at the full prescribed dose and I expect in a couple years I will not need to do it anymore. If you don't do it often enough or for the full dose, you'll have to keep on doing it. And many places will negotiate the price per unit with you - the more you buy, the cheaper price per unit you'll pay. You will pay the highest amount if you pay as you go.

I go every 4-5 months; but I subscribe to the less is more philosophy. I would rather get less units injected and go in more often, than look unnatural.

I have noticed the 11's between my eyes and I am considering botox. I think this solution would be a lot cheaper that that darn Dr. Perricone anti-wrinkle cream....now I have to do my research and find a MD here..

I do it at the outer corners of my eyes. I don't have 11s. I love it -- it really has relaxed those little lines.

I am going to my doctor on the 9th to get a little filler in my lip. My lower lip is uneven and he's going to match me up/make me more symmetrical.

I don't have the 11's either, but I have had it done at the outer corners (crows feet). Really made a difference. I need another visit, but it will have to wait.

I've also had restylane at the corners of my mouth for frown lines. I was really pleased with the results, and lasted almost a year. But, I needed 1 1/2 syringes per side, way too expensive for me right now.
