15 Botox Myths You Thought Were True – Botox Myths Busted


Botox is a blessing that can minimize your wrinkles and give you a youthful face full of a variety of emotions. Botox is a boon to all people who want to look beautiful and don’t all of us fall in that category?
Botox is no longer confined to the celebrities and the rich & famous, it has gain a lot of popularity among the common man.
It is an invasive procedure and a number of myths are associated with it. If you are thinking of having botox treatment for yourself, first of all learn about the common myths and misconception about the cosmetic treatment:
15 Botox Myths – How True are They?
A number of misconception are involved with botox, just do not believe them unless you get information from a reliable source:
Some of the common myths are as under:
1. Botox will Freeze the Face
A common hearsay is that botox will freeze your face. You will lose your natural facial expressions. Botox does not make your face entirely expressionless, but an overuse of botox may be harmful. Within 1-2 weeks the face restores its natural expressions.
2. Wrinkles are Barred Forever
Botox temporarily delays the wrinkles and smoothes your face. It removes facial lines for some time, obviously not forever. Botox does not guarantee you a face devoid of wrinkles forever.
3. Botox is for Older Women
Another common myth is that botox is for older women. But this is not true as botox offers tremendous help in cases of premature aging and wrinkle development. A qualified plastic surgeon may recommend to anyone above 18 years if there is a need to do so.
Not only women men also benefit from the botox treatment.
4. Creams are Equally Effective
Well to be true there is no cream that can actually remove wrinkles. The much hyped wrinkle free creams only act on the skin upper layers. They are unable to be absorbed in the deep layers so they are simply unable to act on the wrinkles.
Wrinkle creams or serums are no substitute to botox as the mode of action is completely different. Creams act on the superficial skin layers while botox act deep inside at the muscle level.
5.  Botox is Dangerous
A general notion is that botox is dangerous. There is simply no truth in the statement. Instead botox is quite useful in the treatment of debilitating medical ailments like headaches, back pain cerebral palsy, etc. You need to get the botrox treatment done from a trained and qualified surgeon or cosmetologists to avoid any botox side effects.
6. Botox Is Toxic
Botox is obtained from botulinum, a toxin. But before using it, botox undergoes a lot of refining processes. Apart from this the concentration of botox in a vial is very low. Your surgeon knows the small doses that are needed to do the procedure.
Botox injection is usually unable to spread effects outside the targeted area. With the passage of time, your body will eliminate the botox on its own.
7. Botox Will Make the Face Immovable
This is perhaps the commonest misconception about botox. It is true that botox restricts muscle movement to some extent but this is temporary and goes off in a couple of days. Your face is back to its normal movements and expressions. Frozen face is no longer common; provide you get the treatment form a qualified doctor.
8. Botox is Addictive
There is no physiological addiction involved with botox treatment. Some people develop obsession of focusing attention on specific body parts and feel this is due to addiction caused by botox.
It has simply nothing to do with botox, it is their psychological perception and they should take the services of psychologist or a psychiatric.
 9. Botox is Forever
Botox is not forever. It normally last for 3-4 months. You may have to get it again to restore the desired effects. The intensity of wrinkles is reduced to a great extent even when the effects of botox fade off.
10. Swelling, Pain and Bruising
You may experience pain and redness at the injection site. They are completely gone in 2-3 days. Botox gives you great phenomenal results and minimal discomfort.
11. Botox has a lot of Side Effects
It is general perception that a number of side effects are associated with botox injections. This is completely false. The common side-effects are fatigue, nausea, vomiting or headache. Rest all is wrong.
12. Botox Treats Laugh Line
A common myth is that botox treats laugh lines. Well this is not true. Laugh lines are treated with fillers (Hyaluronic acids) and with botox.
13. Botox Injections are given only Once
Repeated botox injections are given as it increases the absorption of botox in the muscles. The results are very effective with repeated injections.
14. Botox Paralyzes Facial Muscles:
Absolute rubbish! Botox never paralyzes the muscles. Your doctor is well aware how much dose to inject. Al you need is a trained and qualified cosmetic surgeon and forget about all the worries.
15. Botox is Very Expensive:
It used to be very expensive previously but with advancing uses and technological advancement, botox has become affordable to a lot of people.

Top 10 Worst Celebrity Plastic Surgery for 2008 (David Lim, Auckland, New Zealand, GDI)

This year’s list of the Worst Celebrity Plastic Surgery is dominated by celebrities with atrocious trout pouts who otherwise may look good, but should really stay away from the plastic surgeon’s office.

1. Priscilla Presley—Although Priscilla was amongst several of Hollywood’s elite who received bad Botox, she overdid the plastic surgery long ago, leaving her with a bizarre rather than beautiful look. She has likely had a blepharoplasty, browlift, rhinoplasty, cheek implants, as well as laser skin procedures, chemical peels, and dermabrasion and lip injections. See Make Me Heal’s story on Priscilla Presley’s plastic surgery.

2. Jordan – Although the British glamour model is on her way to looking good, with her breast reduction indicating that she recognizes the error of her ways, she is still too overdone to be considered an example of good plastic surgery. See Make Me Heal’s story on Jordan’s plastic surgery.

3. Courtney Love—Love’s love of plastic surgery has left with her botched lips, a too done nose, and has also been the subject of many rumors involving over-invasive liposuction and gastric bypass. See Make Me Heal’s story on Courtney Love’s plastic surgery.

4. Lara Flynn Boyle—Lara has one of the worst trout pouts in Hollywood, rendering her nearly unrecognizable. She has too much collagen and facial filler as well as possible cheek implants or fat grafts that make her face look stretched. See Make Me Heal’s story on Lara Flynn Boyles’ plastic surgery.

5. Donatella Versace—As a designer, Donatella seems to have grown too comfortable with needles, as she has been the victim of too many plastic surgeons injections. Donatella’s face is overinflated with fillers in her cheeks and lips, while her chest holds some of the hardest and most uncomfortable breast implants imaginable.

6. Carrot Top—The comedian seems to have become one of his prop skits, as he has more fake parts than real. Beyond the obvious use of steroids, the eccentric redhead also has overused Botox and may have had a browlift in addition to laser treatments, and chemical peels. See Make Me Heal’s story on Carrot Top’s plastic surgery.

7. Tara Reid –The American Pie actress continues to dominate the worst lipo list. In addition, Tara has also had breast implants placed, which left her with misshapen nipples. See Make Me Heal’s story on Tara Reid’s plastic surgery.

8. Thierry Mugler – Thierry is better known for his awful looking alter ego Manfred than for his work as a designer. Beyond following the Carrot Top workout regime of steroids, Thierry may also be the victim of a bad nose job and Botox overload. See Make Me Heal’s story on Thierry Mugler’s plastic surgery.

9. Chloe Lattanzi—Her mom, Olivia Newton John may have made our list of best plastic surgery, but young Chloe is a plastic surgery victim for sure. From her botched breast augmentation to her overblown lips and overload of dermal fillers, Botox, cheek implants and rhinoplasty, Chloe has clearly spent too much time under the knife. See Make Me Heal’s story on Chloe Lattanzi’s plastic surgery.

10. Phoebe Price—Although she has no official title, actress or otherwise, Phoebe Price appears on red carpets from Hollywood to Cannes. Striking not only for her flame-colored mane, but also for her obvious plastic surgery, Phoebe is an essential for our list. Phoebe has the trout pout and breast augmentation of many in Hollywood, along with facial injectables and the requisite nose job, but she doesn’t seem to have the resume. See Make Me Heal’s story on Phoebe Price’s plastic surgery.

Phoebe Price, Plastic Surgery
