"A botox flooded face"

[Reasonable agrument]

Is it correct to say "botox flooded face" by meaning someone's botoxed face (a face, that got botoxed)?

Is it correct to say "botox-flooded face" to mean someone's botoxed face (a face, that has been botoxed)?

I've never heard any native English-speaker say that.

I've heard of a heavily-botoxed face.

 

[Tdol]

It would imply that the person has had far too much botox.

It would imply that the person has had far too much botox.

And that would be exactly what I would wanted to say...

 

[Reasonable agrument]

I've never heard any native English-speaker say that.

How would you rate an idea of using this sentence? Does it make sense? Would an average native English speaker understand what I try to say by that?

"botox flooded face"

NOT A TEACHER

I think replacing "flooded" with "stuffed" would make a little more sense.

 

[probus]

Botox is used to make the lips more prominent and supposedly more attractive.

Therefore the sentence is nonsensical.

Don't you mean that's exactly what you want to say?

 

[Reasonable agrument]

Don't you mean that's exactly what you want to say?

Yes

I think a more common expression, which I have heard before, it a 'botox-frozen face', or 'face frozen with botox'. This seems to be current terminology for what is essentially an over-administration of the drug.

 

[Yankee]

Please don't say it or the alternatives to anyone who has had a botox procedure.

Not even the Real Housewives of Wherever? If you ask me, those bimbos could benefit greatly from some frank talk.

I wouldn't say flooded makes much sense. Pumped would be more appropriate, I think. It's difficult to talk about appropriateness, though, because whatever you're trying to say is most likely going to be very offensive, unless that's what you're looking for.

How is it nonsensical? Botox is a neurotoxin that stops nerve signals from making muscles contract, which is used to make wrinkles less prominent. It's common to have your whole face treated with botox injections, not just the lips. While it subjectively makes your face look prettier, overdoing it makes it look gross and unnatural, even triggering an uncanny valley type of response. I think it makes sense to try and find an expression that would communicate that a person's done too much botox and they now look like a freak. Maybe I'm missing something.

Isn't that filler? Botox paralyses bits of the face to make it less lined, as I understand it.

Isn't that filler? Botox paralyses nerves to get rid of wrinkles, I think. (Not had either)

Botox can be injected into the lips to make them swell up and look "poutier".

I'm surprised by the level of necromancy being practiced here. The thread has been dead for nearly a year.

 

[Tarheel]

@Glizdka It was only sleeping. It was revived.

 

[probus]

Actually that raises an interesting point. It used to be that threads were closed automatically if they had been dormant for a period -- six months I think. Now they apparently remain open. I speculate that this results from the rollout of the new Xenforo version. @Red5?

That didn't stop MadalynRangel slipping in a link to a botox treatment spa and getting banned for it.
