Never Ever! - Europe

Hi notgivenup, thank you so much for yor comment. I know exactly how you feel....in my case there is not only the Botox problem, which is very slowly improving, I had at the same time filler injected into the chin and it seems, it went into other aereas, causing uneven and bumpy skin, I hate myself, the doc and the mirror every miserable day. I decided, not to try any more attempts of improvement but just to sit the whole thing out. A wated year, three months already passed, very less improvement. But in your case, may be you too might need more time than eight months to recover, as you probably researched too, there are many victims, that not before a year or more notice some change. I wish you furthermore patience and confidence that time will be the great healer. A big hug from Germany. Smartpixie

Thank you very much for the warm welcome. To read about others here helped me a lot in times when I was just desperate and lost. Just wish I had known what I know now !!

Although the Doc assured me that I would not feel any discomfort I have difficulties drinking, whistling, pronouncing the letter w and some others, but much, much worse is the fact that due to atrophy of the muscles around the mouth/chin area, the skin is aged and uneven, hate the look...and of course my smile is gone and just an imitation, causing new wrinkles where there were none before. It is the first time I in my life that I know how it feels to really hate somebody (the Doc who did that to me) . Now I´m in week 9 after the procedure and count every hour, every day , hoping my skin will survive this torture.

I´m reading all your comments from Germany, where I sit crying my eyes out after Botox in cheeks and a filler in the chin at the same time ruined my looks. It is the 9tz week and now the atrophy leaves my mouth aera sunk in, the chin is permanently swollen und skin with uneven texture...horrible, nightmare...as you all know it. The botox, which was only meant to paralyse the muscle to stop you from lips downwards went into aereas where it was not supposed to belong. Your shared experiances give me a little hope, the muscle will recover, not now but hopefully in a few weeks and I will look my old self again. never been so depressed and unhappy and angry in my whole 50 years, As one of you wrote...first thought in the morning and last in bed, avouding mirrors, public events, friends, sunlight...like a freaky vampire :-) Blessings to all "Survivors" here. Maybe there are some readers, that could tell me about difficulties around the mouth aerea, most of the posts concern the eyes. smartpixie
