Hi, yes but my forehead is still really heavy, heavy eyelids, and puffy eyes, presumably because my circulation is compromised because of having a frozen forehead and brows, lol. Well. I hope it wears off sooner than later. I do have movement in my forehead and I exercise it all the time hoping for the heaviness to wear off. It makes me look tired and puffy eyed all the time. Thanks for asking!
I am glad to hear you went back to "normal." I just had forehead and glabella area injected and my eyebrows are SO heavy that my eyelids are dropping completely onto the tops of my eyes. I look tired all the time when I've never felt better. The lines on my forehead are a lot smoother as well as glabella, but not totally gone. I would give anything to have them back, plus my $425 and have my eyes be able to open up again. I HATE this paralyzed feeling and I will never ever do this again. I just really hope it wears off sooner than later. Yuck. I'm going to do facelift exercises from now on to look more youthful. I would never recommend botox to anyone.
Great for you for posting this. I had short term effects (knock on wood), droopy eyebrows (was treated well above eyebrows), nausea, killer headache for two days, rapid heart beat, anxiety/strange depressed feelings. Its now day 8 and most of those seem to be gone (the droopy eyelids I'm stuck with because thats just from ageing, which unconscious eyebrow lifting hid). The wrinkles are not totally gone and after spending $425 to have those side effects, plus marginal results, I will NEVER EVER do this again. Botox is a toxin and for some a powerful SYSTEMIC one. I suggest to everyone to detox the liver, do a lot of juicing, exercise, sauna, to get it out of your system. Thats what I'm doing. I will tell everyone not to get this. The doctors are probably doing what they think is right, but ultimately, are still irresponsible if they don't know (conveniently) or will not admit the potential side effects. This s**t is wicked!
I just have to say, after reading all these posts and having my own experience of unbelievable nightmare after botox 5 days ago, that doctors saying "this never happens," or "its something you ate" or any other complete horse shit means they are lying through their teeth. There is no way with all these people having this experience, and me too, that its possible that these reactions are really "rare."
I got botox because a co-worker has it and looks good. She' 41 and looks older with no lines, if that makes sense. She says she's been getting botox since she was 25! Which explains probably why she looks older, albiet wrinkle free. She also gets fillers.
When I went I had NO IDEA anyone ever had adverse reactions and the woman doing it also said its the safest thing, I would love it, lickedy split, easy peasy, blah blah.
Well two days AFTER I had the worst pounding headache that lasted two days. That stopped, but then had a weird depressed and nauseus feeling and heavy, droopy eyelids.
This morning (day 5) there is no more pain, but felt very tired all day and looked way older than before I got the botox, and the 11's lines are still there, although fainter. But my eyes were very puffy and brows heavy and over my eyes today too.
I am really bummed out and totally freaked out. I bought Carole Maggio's facelift book tonight and am going to start doing it. I also have a clairsonic face washer and I'm going to for sure use that daily. I just want this shit OUT of me. I will never, ever, ever get any kind of plastic surgery again.
For me its diet, face exercises and exercise to stay youthful. I'm so sorry for everyone having these horrifying experiences. Its so not fair and I understand. Its only day 5 for me. I'm hoping this doesn't develop into a 6-10 month nightmare like many of you have experienced.
I will tell everyone I know: JUST DON'T DO IT.
