I have had Botox 6 times before. All with nice results lasting about 4 or 5 months. I was injected yesterday, 20 units each area. He did a good job but I felt dizzy and warm right away. It hurt more than normal and was more bumpy than normal. Today I noticed it already working but my eyes are puffy. Especially the inner corners near nose on my right side more prominent. Strange?????

ok, so an update.. my swelling has gone down. Had doc write an prescription for "medrol dose pack" that did help with swelling and puffyness. HOWEVER, I still have a bad headache and my vission is blurry. Foggy like little spotts. And it feels like there is pressure on my eyelids.I think I may have to go to an optamologist, or optometrist..? Not sure. I actually work for the medical spa... will be interesting how I will recomend and sell botox now  lol  I look better, but don't feel better.
