Botox for Chronic Migraines

Had Breast Augmentation 26 Years Ago - Encino, CA

Wow! What an improvement. Thank you for sharing your story and the pictures with us because you've helped a lot of people. Your first three months of photos looked pretty scarey, and I was worried about you. I had a BA years ago, and I've never seen or heard of the frankenboob before. It must be some new kind of temporary, side effect due to the improved surgery techniques they do now. Thank again for sharing your story.

You doctor did a Great job. You look so natural but better. He gave you the perfect size for your body.

My neurologist said that she really doesn't have any problems with the Botox causing droopy eyelids because it is injected into different places than a dermatologist would for wrinkles. She did say that she only once has had to give someone a fix whose one eyebrow was arching too high, but it can be fixed and so can the headaches. I noticed my wrinkles going away within one week. It's been a little over three weeks now, and I still look at least seven years younger. I was using my Photoshop program to enhance some pictures of me and a new puppy that I got last week, and I compared the pictures with some that were taken five years ago with my other dog, and I'm astounded at how much younger I look now. My forehead doesn't look big at all, and I was afraid of that, just look at all the celebrities that look so freakiest from over Botoxing. I going to add some untouched before and after pictures of my forehead soon.

Don't lie down for at least 4 hours after your shots, so the Botox doesn't move. Using a computer is OK because you keep your head up, but reading a book and exercising is to be avoided for at least 4 hours. Once the 4 hours has passed you can do anything you want, lie on your back, go to sleep, bend and stretch, etc... Your doctor should have told you this, but, I know, they get busy and think that we know it by osmosis.

The temporary pain that you will have from the injections is no where near the pain of one minute of a migraine. After you have the shots, you can ask your doctor for an Rx for some numbing cream, but I just took a few Advil, and that was it. Make sure you don't lie down or do any exercises for a least 4 hours after the shots, so they don't move. I though I might have the droopiness after a few days, but I just splash cold water on my eyes in the morning, so it's more like puffiness and it goes away. The first few days after, I was still getting bad headaches, and now nothing. I hope your results are like mine.
