I had my first botox treatment by an RN at a very reputable Plastic Surgery office in a major city. I wanted to address forehead wrinkles, a wrinkle between my brows, crowsfeet and hoped to see my eyebrows raised a bit.

My right eye is pulled too tight laterally -- the edge of my right eyebrow is further away from the bridge of my nose then the left. My right upper eyelid is slightly puckered because it is pulled too tight. My eye shape looks more almond, less round.

I did not tell my husband I had the procedure and did not plan to tell him -- he keeps asking me what is wrong with my eye?

It has been a week since the procedure -- is this going to keep getting worse? Is it possible to correct?

Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

I am not happy with the result -- I look a bit freaky!

I had Botox for the first time 5 days ago and one eyelid is pulling up and crinkling my eye lid. I feel rather strange with a dull ache in my head. Rather disappointing as I feel my forehead actually looks great but at the suffering of my eyes. I think I look really heavy lidded now :-( doubt I will get it again.

I have felt like I have had a sinus infection, (pressure and headache)and all over just tired since my injections. They used an entire bottle. Was that too much and when will I feel normal again?

I can relate to your experience. I had Botox for the second time about a month ago. The first I was happy with the results and it gave the outer edges of my brow a little lift which was a plus. The second time was not so good. The same thing happened on one side and my the outer edge of my brow kept pulling up on one side. The doctor had me come back for a touch up. She injected the one side that was pulling up only. Now it droops and my eyelid on that side is saggy again. I had been thinking of surgery for an eyelift and may consider that again after this last set of injections. I'm not sure what I thought about going back for another injection on the higher side but I'm so mad at the doctor right now after paying $500.00 for this, that I never plan on going back to her. I'll just wait for another few months and find someone and try it one more time.
