BOTOX'S BEAUTY BORDER : PRECIS

I tried Botox, but.......... : Jessica Grose nailed it again in '' Brotox destroyed what I liked about my face '' [ Opinion Jan. 11].

I always looked forward to her essays, and this one spoke to me, a late 40s lady trying to stay youthful mentally and physically.

I, too, never thought I would try Botox, but decided to give it a shot. I initially loved my incredibly smooth forehead and the decreased number of lines around my eyes.

But I've come to realize that wrinkles are badges of honor that I should embrace the souvenirs of thousands of smiles and surprises and even angst I've experienced throughout a full life so far.
