[quote=Anonymous]It's not aging-specific, but I have deep 11 wrinkles between my eyebrow. In my 30's I realized they were getting much more noticeable and gave me terrible Resting Bitch Face.

I'm in a role where I need to get shit done and speak up with opinions, but I also am in an organizational culture where being friendly & polite is highly valued (more than average, there are some religious factors at play). And of course, women are always expected to be more friendly/conciliatory than men and judged more harshly on tone and facial expression when saying the exact same thing.

Got Botox for the 11s. No more bitch face. Noticeable improvement in receptiveness/attitude from others at work -- this is at an organization I've been at 10 years, have great relationships at the C-level, well-respected. I've changed absolutely nothing else about what I do or how I say things.

So I'd say mine isn't aging-specific, but obviously any wrinkles we have get worse with age -- and I did do the botox about 50/50 for personal and professional reasons. Totally worth it.  [/quote]
