“Botox Recovery Time... Two Weeks?!”

My issue with the Botox procedure was the recovery. You’re not supposed to need recovery time... just get up and go... but mine was tedious and painful. Coming home I felt very tired and even light-headed. This was a noted side effect because you’re having a procedure done on your head. Obviously... but I was still surprised by the severity. I don’t know how people do this and go right back to work. I was laid up for three days with body aches, like when you have the flu. I didn’t want to move and I slept all the time. By the third day my sister called the clinic for reassurance that this was normal. I was getting scared too because the needle holes in my head looked huge and I was getting really bad headaches, like someone was squeezing my muscles. Think of the worst tension you’ve had and then put it in your forehead. It was really horrible. I worried one night that I was having an aneurysm, I was bent over so much from the pain of it. I improved by about the 4th or 5th day, enough to notice if it was working or not. My forehead did seem to be frozen and I couldn’t move it. With the headaches going away I figured this was my result... but I could still see the lines in my forehead. I was disappointed with that. Maybe I should have gone for Resty or something too but my doc guaranteed me the lines would fix themselves. I’ve had my results for two weeks now and wish I hadn’t done this. Recovery was terrible, my bruises are only starting to fade now to a nice yellow color, and I can still move my forehead somewhat. Those lines never faded either. Overall, a complete disappointment.
