My friend Suze is an obsessive tanner. We call her “Frenchie” because she always looks like a French fry. It’s a cute look if you’re 21…not so cute if you’re 51, which she is.
Anyhow, she decided she needed Botox in that area between her eyes, you know where those little wrinkles are when you knit your brows together? Her face is so wrinkled from years of sun damage but these 3 tiny wrinkles really bothered her.
So she goes to a dermatologist and pays $60 a shot for 3 shots, one in each wrinkle. The next time I see her I get right up in her face to see the magic of Botox at work.
I said, “Suze, don’t take this wrong but you have a line about an inch long going up and down between your brows that you didn’t have before.”
“Yeah,” she says, “I saw that this morning so I called him. He said it takes 3 weeks for the stuff to move around and fill in the wrinkles.”
“How long does it last?”, I asked.
“3 months.”
“3 months from the time you get it done or 3 months from the time it starts to fill in the wrinkles?”.
“From the time it starts to fill in the wrinkles.”
“So, about 9 weeks? That’s like $30 a week!”.
“Shut up.”
“Ok.”
About 2 weeks later the sun was shining through the window on her face. Whoa!
I said, “Hey, Suze? What’s that on your forehead?”
“I know. I saw it this morning.”
The inch long line is now a groove with two more grooves, one sticking out of each side of the long groove.
She has a tiny airplane flying north between her eyes.
She paid $180 to have the airport logo Botoxed between her eyes.
He talked her into getting 3 more shots this week. I can’t wait to see her Friday afternoon. I’m gonna tell her it looks like a UFO is attacking the plane on her forehead.
