“Botox is Not for Me - San Francisco, CA”

Not Worth It

I had botox to enhance my looks but it did the opposite. I got bags under my eyes 5 days after the botox was injected. I called my doctor and he said he never heard of that before. I went to see him and he told me to take benadryl and claritin. It did nothing except I had the worst anxiety in my life. I am a high strung person but do not suffer from anxiety. Thankfully, the anxiety only lasted one week. My face however, still has bags under my eyes. I am praying that everyone is right and that when the botox wears off my bags will go away. I was happy before I had botox and now I am not. I look tired and at least 5 years older if not 10. Help

I'm sorry to hear you got the eye bags too. They are certainly no fun. How long has it been since you received your injections?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean that offensively if it came off that way. I was just asking because from what I've heard Botox usually lasts 3-6 months on average, hopefully it will move through your system quicker. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.
Oh, yeah I can totally understand how that would be the case. :( Are things the same as before, or have you noticed any changes?
