Hi Vieamiami, I have not seen a difference yet from the laser. My second treatment is 1/24/13, so hopefully I will see improvement this time around. I am happy you are much better. Did the improvement happen virtually overnight? I will update you after the 24th to let you know how it is working. Thank you so much for checking in and caring :)

Hi everyone, It was a year on 12/6/11 that I was injected and a year of hell with this botox nightmare. I still am not completely healed, but there is improvement. The sagging skin now snaps back, the bags are smaller, but I still look horrible and do not feel comfortable when I smile. That is when everything bunches up and makes me look so much older than I am. Since it has been a year, I have decided to start treating it. I am getting laser treatment starting next week. I will probably need three to five treatments in order to tighten everything up and minimize the crepeiness. I am praying it works. I will keep everyone updated.

Hi everyone, sorry I have not been on here in a while. I am healing, but slowly...really really slowly. The Dr. I went to in NY admitted he really has no idea why it is taking me so long to heal. It has been 9 months. My right eye is healing quicker then my left eye. At this point, I look like myself when not smiling or showing any emotion. When I smile, I still have a bag under my left eye, wrinkly and crinkly crunching up skin under both eyes. I am trying to focus on the minor postive changes and CAN'T WAIT TO SMILE AGAIN WITHOUT FEELING SELF CONSCIOUS .

Hi Vieamiami,

I am so sorry to hear you are going through this also. My injections were done on 12/6/11. Unfortunately, I am not seeing much improvement. When I do not smile, no one would know, but when I smile...ugh...lines, bags, skin I can pull and it will stay that way. I was told my a surgeon in NY it could take 8 months or longer, although some heal a lot quicker. I am going to see him again on 7/24 and see where I am at. Its been a nightmare that has not yet ended for me. This is a great site, and we are all here for you. Do you just have crepy undereyes or other effects as well. Hang in there, a lot of the girls healed, so I have to have faith we will too.

Hi everyone. It will be six months for me June 6. Still only changes but barely any improvement just changes. I saw a doctor who told me it might take up to a year to heal.he diagnosed me with eye lag retraction and facial nerve damage. I am praying the healing comes sooner. So happy everyone is doing better and I can't wait to be right there along with everyone.
