  Guess what? Some Physical Therapists know about botox injections b/c they use them for other conditions. It's worth a shot to research PT's who work on faces (strokes...). Get an eval and tell the PT you have/GEt an electrical facial stimulator. Create a home program to estilm the unresponsive muscles. This way you will have the best shot of drainage. Tightening other weakening facial muscles and maintaining the muscle that has been "deadened" by Botox. It will also make your complexion brighter. YOu could find someone who knows drainage techniques too - and I bet acupuncture could help. I also heard that they know how to get the botox and maybe collagen to absorb/break down faster. Oh btw i was given smile line injections that have made my under eye circles heinous particularly when i smile. It looks like swelling but is actually cheek pitosis. The fat pads drop off the cheekbone b/c of the muscle above being relaxed by bo... My facial lines are not my face and not an improvement. Stay strong. I would also recommend staying away from things like dairy and wheat which can puff you up... any other allergens.

  OmGoddd! That's why I allowed him to inject the smile lines - i thought it would make the dark circles less noticeable. Now it's chipmunk, crepe sking, weird overlapping wrinkles like waves upon the crest of my rising cheeks when I smile OR mak ANY facial movement that causes my dropped pad/ puffy cheek to rise with any inflection of my face. Did you also have the fluish symptoms, sinus, fatigue, nervousness, irritability... I'm still sickly wiped out and it's almost 2 weeks. I have another appt who tried to pretend that he'd never heard of such a reaction and "it's not the botox". Unbelievable I'm deformed and he's just taking my money? He's never heard of botox chipmunk or pitosis? So wrong. b Did your doc reimburse you?- offer you another procedure? What is reasonable to expect from a decent practitioner? Legally what am I entitled to? I can just see him triing to deny it and stiffing me a refund. How do i protect myself? Are you going to hit up your doc for damages? to pay for the medical repairations you'll need next year? I've heard that certain laser procedures can help tighten skin/increase collagen. It's so hard to have hoped to enhance my looks and come out disfigured. THANK YOU for the sobering news that my fears of permanently stretched skin disfigurement are well founded. What about under eye exercises to tighten that skin? Did you try them? Best to you. I'm, exhausted, sick/literally having a toxic reaction and my sleep sched has been upside down since the injections. Insomnia. My God what have i done? I'm really upset that all this puffing out of the skin under my eyes is going to leave me with bags. They should be accountable for the cheek/facelift. This is really.
