Needle Marks Visible and Sore Injection Sites - Old Bridge, NJ

Botox Bruising & Swelling - Old Bridge, NJ

The doctor told me there might be some swelling and bruising for about 5 days. She did not mention anything about needle marks. I spoke to a couple of girlfriends who have had it done (at different places) and they have never had needle marks to worry about after the procedure. Ironically, my swelling and bruising around my mouth area (only place I had it done) is minimal. Unfortunately, I have three red dots on my left side, and a huge brown spot (looks like a birthmark now) on my right. I guess those needle marks were close together. I'm still very unsettled about this whole thing and wonder what went wrong. I'm not sure if I will go through it again even if it is with a different doctor. I thought I had found a reputable place and look what happened!

Only botox in my forehead, no fillers. There are only two lines between my eyebrows that need it, not my entire forehead. It happened so fast and I never imagined the results would be that extreme or severe, not for a routine botox appt. I trusted her and thought she knew what she was doing. I guess I'm still a bit intimidated by doctors, but I need to get over that and question anything they do differently. I didn't notice it was $100 more until I got home and compared the price I paid back in March. I went back to the office yesterday (Monday - 7/23). That particular doctor wasn't there but I showed my forehead, which today is still swollen and red, to the other staff members. They gave me a $200 refund and assured me the needle marks and my red and swollen forehead isn't permanent. It's just frustrating to have to wait so long for my face to get back to normal from something that shouldn't have been noticeable at all.
