Not Worth It
Spent: $700 in Miami, florida

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.

oh god. they injected too much. should only inject 20cc in whole face. also sounds like they hit something in the bloodstream when they shot you. i have puffy eyes on just 12 on the crows feet. i am going to look into accupuncture to fix it
