Why Finding a Good Injector Isn’t Always Easy
When it comes to Botox, everyone talks about the benefits — fewer wrinkles, lifted brows, smoother skin — but no one talks enough about the risk of getting it done by the wrong hands.
Here’s the truth:
Just because someone is a qualified doctor doesn’t mean they’re skilled at cosmetic injecting. A medical degree doesn’t equal an artistic eye, and technique matters more than titles.
I’ve personally had Botox treatments from licensed “esthetic doctors” that left me with eyelid droop, uneven brows, and a heavy, tired look — not once, but three separate times. The worst part? These were respected clinics.
In my experience, small foreheads, hooded or almond-shaped eyes (like many Asian facial types), and delicate facial proportions are more prone to bad Botox results — especially when the injector uses a cookie-cutter approach.
💉 What to Look For in a Skilled Botox Injector:
- Specializes in cosmetic treatments — not just a GP offering Botox on the side
- Understands facial balance, anatomy & muscle movement
- Has experience with mature skin, hooded eyes, or smaller foreheads
- Shows real before-and-after photos of diverse clients
- Takes a conservative approach and listens to your concerns
💡 My Current Reality
After years of poor results and frustration, I took control — and now I do my own Botox. Safely, carefully, and in tiny amounts. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a reflection of how important it is to know your own face and not blindly trust every practitioner in a white coat.
✨ Final Thoughts
Botox is a fantastic tool — but it’s only as good as the hands that inject it. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, walk away from a rushed consultation, or demand a more customized plan.
You only have one face. Make sure whoever’s holding the needle respects that and don’t be afraid to speak up about it!
