5 Days After First Botox and I Have a Few Concerns

Oh hey Sharon, I'm a Sharon too! My headache seems to be gone this morning (day 6) Yay! My dark circles are still there though. I have a huge awards night to attend tomorrow night for my work and I just cant get excited about it cos I feel really old in my face. I'm trying to be optimistic which is my nature but I'm a little bummed about it. I have read alot of the Doctors advice in this forum and it bothers me that they are constantly referring to problems as "just temporary" and "not permanent" and my favourite, "it'll wear off in 4-6 months". 4 to 6 months will seem like and eternity to me if this is my new look and a major depression could occur easily in that time. I dont like flippancy when you are talking about a persons face. Thanks for your kind response

Hi, I know this is awfully late but I just looked at your photos and your mini tuck reminds me so much of my own 3 1/2 years ago. My little protrusion (similar to your 5 week one) is still there but the doctor explained that my Uterus is forward (inverted) so falls against my tummy wall. So even though I had the muscles sewn together tightly, it still pushes out a bit. I really dont mind now but found it a bit hard at first. I expected a washboard flat tummy! Unrealistic really as I never had one before children and I'm a skinny girl. I now realise that nearly all women are curvy and a softly curved tummy is really very normal. I dont spend hours every day crunching like the ladies who have abs so i dont have abs! I now wear fitted clothes and dresses that I couldnt wear before due to my little joey pouch ( I have a smallish frame and my babies were 9 pounders) I hope you are really happy with your results now that some time has passed.
