First time Botox / filler tips
Hi everyone - I’ll turn 40 this August, I’m 12 month post partum, my baby is finally weaned and as a gift to myself I want to get Botox/filler.
This will be my first time. I’m particularly concerned about a loss of collagen in my face after pregnancy/post partum/breastfeeding (which has caused my skin to look thinner and small veins to appear under my eyes), 11 lines, forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet. I’d also like to get some filler in my lips.
When I try to book an appt with a wrinkle reducer / filler provider, I see options for Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. I don’t know which one I should choose. Also see options for a “lip flip” versus filler. Also they’re asking how many units I want, I have no idea!
It’s very overwhelming. Do I need to get a consultation before even booking an appt? Is that what yall did? I want to go in armed with some research and feedback from others, so I don’t just go along with whatever the esthetician says, and maybe I don’t get the result I want.
Thank you so much in advance for any tips or recommendations!
