Never Again - Michigan

I went into the doc's to get juvaderm around...
$300
I went into the doc's to get juvaderm around my mouth, the clinician said that I should get botox around my eyes for my crows feet, i did not really want to but she kinda insisted, so I caved... Sorry I ever did that, my eyes look ok, but my smile is severly crooked, called them, they said that the botox could not travel that far, well from what I read and researched since, it can and it did, I look like a freak!
I am so sad, I can only hope that this wears off... Then she had the nerve to imply that I had a stroke, I cannot even believe that she eluded to that, how coincidental botox, stroke... all in a weeks time, well I feel fine but I look like hell! Talk about insult to injury, never again!

Well Thank you Britt, that is really kind!!!
I guess a freak is harsh but it is the only way I was able to express my frustration... The worst part ,well, after the obvious worst part lol, is that when I called the clinician to tell her about my lip , she said there is NO WAY that the botox could have affected my lip, then she said she asked 2 of the" plastic surgeons" in the office and they agreed that it was "immpossible" that my lip could be affected by botox around the eyes, that is just wrong in every way, I will not be going to them to get any cosmetic surgery that is for sure lol... So when I do go in to see her I will bring all the literature that I have found online ... I would not have looked online or been this upset if she just said something like, that could possibly happen or don't worry it will wear off, instead she implied that maybe I had a stroke or maybe I have bell's palsy, well I didn't before I got botox, and I don't now either, she actually suggested for me to see my regular doctor, why would I waste my money and his time , I just had botox "that paraly's muscles" injected into my face and now my upper lip is paralysed , hhhhmmmmmmmmmmm quite a coincidence lol... Anyway sorry for rambling on , but she added insult to injury...
Also she called the rep of botox , she told me that he said it was immpossible also, lol... On the list of botox side effects it says that the injections of botox could migrate, I guess he can't read, just sayen lol...
Anyway thank you again and I will keep you posted...

AS an esthetican i have been against this for years. I have seen such amazing results just wiith excellent skin care products and facail treatments. There are so many new and awesome professional skin scare products out there. I think we have to get back to basics it is about wellness not vanity. The fact that we are putting one of the most toxic things in our body's with these injections just turns my stomach. My clients come to me because they want a holistic approach to skin care, they want to age with grace. In Hollywood many movie producers have asked actors not to do botox and fillers because as an actor you need facial expression. It is only my opinion that we are geting carried away with againg. It is a natural process and ther are things that speed it up like baking in sun or tanning beds, smoking, free radaical damage is caused by many things out there.I just feel as human being we should be focused in other areas of wellness and spirituality. We have to get back to what matters and botox just send such a negative messege to our young growing up ladies. I do tell clients to each it's own but they know where i stand on this. I want to send a messege of wellness and teach people how to relax. i also show clients how to stimulate muscles with accupressure points on the face. There is so much more we should be focused on. Get involve din your community and spend some time with people who don't have anything, trust me botox is far from their minds they are just trying to survive one day at a time. To have fear of yor power and heat being shut off, or how you ar egoing to get to a Dr. appointment because you don't have transportaion. Life is so much more then getting a wrinkle. i look forward to that because i earned all that kind character lines on my face.

When I had a bad result from a botox treatment my doctor tried to convince me I had Cushing's disease. When I didn't buy that she moved on to myasthenia gravis. It's pretty sad when a doctor would rather have a patient think they have a debilitating disease rather than admit their patient had a bad result.

Agreed! I think you look great!

Thank you but it looks weird to me, I am improving though, so that is a good sign...
I know I have said it before but, no botox for me...

Hi Lilly, I am facing the same issue now and it has been almost a month for me. I had botox around my crows feet too. I am just wondering if your smile is completely back? I am very worried thinking this would be permanent. Your story gives me hope. Please let me know if you are fully recovered :)

Well I think my lip is improving just a little,...
Well I think my lip is improving just a little, atleast I hope so... It was 2 months yesterday... Let me know what you think, Thanks Denise
Hi lily,
So happy you decided to write a review. I'm sorry the Botox migrated, that's not fun. But based on your pictures, which the community REALLY appreciates, you do not even in the slightest bit look like a freak. Your "crooked" smile is not really all that noticeable. When you pointed it out yes I could see it a bit, but "a freak" not at all. In fact I looked at the pictures before reading the review and thought Wow, the Botox does look really nice.
Another community member says, she works out a lot and it's hard for her to keep fillers in, so it might be something to consider. Others have also mentioned a great deal of green tea, neither has been proven, but probably couldn't hurt to try. Please keep us updated and have a great weekend. I 100% promise you DO NOT look like a freak.
Thanks so much for the review,
-Britt
