Botox is also much cheaper and quicker than a face lift. In fact, Botox is so easy and so affordable, many people hold Botox parties at which Botox is administered to several people in the course of a couple hours. Botox takes such little time to administer that a patient can receive a treatment on her lunch hour. Botox is also temporary, so if the recipient of a Botox treatment doesn't care for the way she looks, her face will resume its normal appearance within about three to six months.

Of course, there are risks. It's rare, but one can have an allergic reaction to Botox. Also, because it numbs the muscles, it can cause the appearance of surprise or make it look like the recipient has a permanent frown. Since Botox is temporary, these inconveniences don't last long. Those taking antibiotics are at risk for an adverse reaction, however. Anyone who is taking an antibiotic is advised to make her doctor aware of this before being injected with Botox. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are advised to postpone Botox injections until their little ones are no longer dependent upon them for nutrition. Botox is clearly a more attractive option to plastic surgery. It's quick, it's less expensive, and except for the prick of a syringe, it's painless.
