I got Botox to fix my wrinkles but now I look like an Angry Bird – I have no idea how to fix it
BOTOX – the first word to spring to mind when it comes to banishing wrinkles.
But as sought-after as this treatment is, one woman claims it left her muscles so stiff, she now looks like an Angry Bird.
Desperately seeking help from fellow beauty lovers, the woman, better known as Styled with Natalia (@styledwithnatalia) on TikTok, uploaded a clip to reveal the mortifying fail.
Posing with her new face, Natalia told her 3.2k followers she had just had Botox injected in her forehead a few weeks ago.
But despite loving the smooth appearance, Natalia felt that the injections had also changed how her eyebrows sit.
”Now I feel like my eyebrows are not looking the way I like them.
”They are very pointy now,” the fashion enthusiast demonstrated in the video.
”I know it raised my eyebrows a little bit, which I think it’s supposed to do that,” she said, adding that all she can see now in the reflection are her ”crazy” eyebrows.
”I like the lifted look also, but I think this time is too “pointy” and feel this time it doesn’t look like last time.
”I don’t know is this happens to anyone else but I think I need help with my eyebrows now.”
Fortunately, since posting the video, Natalia’s revealed she’s been able to book an appointment with a specialist to fix the flop.
”I am never that person to go back and ask for something to be redone but I might have to.”

But as sought-after as this treatment is, how much do we really know about Botox? Well, one self-confessed ”veteran” took to TikTok to share the things injectors don’t usually mention.
Kelly LaVallie (@kelly_lavallie), believed to be from the US, claimed to have been getting Botox injected in her face for almost two decades – she first got it done around 17 years ago.
And since then, the beauty lover has come to realise a few things, one of them being speech impairment.
”There are a couple of pitfalls to be aware of – and I’m experiencing a couple of them.”
Sharing her ”Botox public announcement”, Kelly started off by informing viewers about how the treatment’s affected her ability to speak.
After getting some in her upper lip, the woman said she’s ”really having to think about” forming different words, as her lip is not as flexible.
”My husband is grateful that it’s slowed my talking,” she chuckled.
This, in turn, has also changed the way she eats – although she does enjoy the more fuller pout.
To make her forehead more smooth and give her brows a lift, Kelly’s also had Botox injected in the top section of her face.
But some days, she claimed in her video, the Botox would make her eyebrows go unnaturally high, creating a ”sparky” appearance.
”I don’t hate it. But my injector lady says it’s a bad look.
”It’s a real fine balance, peeps,” Kelly added in the end.
Posted less than 24 hours ago, the clip has already been viewed close to 300k times, and many flocked to comments to thank Kelly for being so open and honest.
”I love that you chat about this! thank you,” one woman said.
Someone else recommended: ”Tip for the lip. Use the back of the electric toothbrush on the lips it will lessen the tightness of the Botox & give more movement for speech.”
”Omg, I have my appt tomorrow- thanks for the heads up,” a third added.
”I love the effects but I’ve found that I’m getting migraines after treatment which is a real bummer,” a fellow beauty lover shared their experience.
