My Face Has Melted After Excessive Use!

Botox Went Wrong - Pstosis (Drooping) of the Eyes / Cheeks / Mouth Are Possible Side Effects !!!

Get some funky frames and some non perscription lenses for your glasses? This will distract people - or cut some bangs and wear a bright lippy. They will notice some changes but will put it down to this ? People do not have photographic memories - they will look at your for about 10 secs decide it is actually you and carry on talking.. about themselves :0) tough it out kid - don't be a hermit - it's soul detroying.

Hi Flygirl :0)

I think your skin looks taught after exercise as blood fills the area ? When you are tired / dehydrated the skin looks flat but when you are flush from exercise the skin looks pumped - same affect as weightlifting.

gymbunnies swear their botox wears off extra fast and i think wet heat and exercise will push fluid around and keep the area healthy while the nerves heal? gentle massage will help ? chew lots of gum and buy the eva fraser facial exercise book but be very very gentle not agressive with your face. you mentioned that you had flattened levetor muscles (i'm guessing from your description). these do indeed hold up the face and messing about with the frontalis and levetor muscles will lead to pstosis over time in my experience ? muscles thin out from underuse.

everyones face and case is different you might bounce back you might crawl back but i'm pretty sure you will get back to baseline ?? and NEVER botox again ? it's a crap shoot and not worth it if it goes wrong. healthy muscle is thick muscle and your face is tight and smooth - that is what gives a young face its shape - they have lots of edges... botox flattens out the natural planes of the face and it rarely looks 'youthful' and often looks strange ?

all the best and keep think about 6, 9 and 18 months down the line - this will be a blurry nightmare. it's just for now and NOT for ever

ps. if it was just bad practise wouldn't we have to go to the same clowns to get exactly the same result ? it's defo the DRUG.

Hi Wishful - i did take the choline for a while but to be honest my problem is astrophy and drift. i'm still healing but my journey has been 2 years four months so far and about 70% of normal function. i had about 13 applications of botox in total over a couple of years so individually not harmful - collectively a disaster.
the less botox you have used the stronger your muscles and their ability to bounce back. i found my face worse when i was dehydrated or tired - i looked shocking.

get chewing gum is my best tip if your top muscles are frozen your lower ones will not be working properly so you have to work those bad boys like crazy.

52 muscles in the face yikes ! who knew ??

All the best Wishful - hang on in there

flygirl - Stop! Breathe ! Think !

Your muscles are completely relaxed - sounds like bad botox, followed by a dysport migration and more bad botox.

if your PS wasn't a complete shit he would have said - "possibly drift - hard to tell who has done what at this point - get back to baseline."

i went for a second opinion and thank god I saw Micheal Prager (in London) as he was completely upfront and said - it's the botox, don't do anything else for at least one year. the hammocks and starburst effect are commonly document edside effects of bad botox . the swelling is lymph trapped in your tissue.

DO NOT SEEK A SURGICAL SOLUTION. my face is still changing 2 years later, if i had been cut and then those muscles tightened further as they healed from botox i would look like bloody Joan Rivers by now.

You will heal but the panicking and traumatising your face further is not the solution, there is no quick fix to this and any decent PS would tell you the same.

100% of everything has to be gone from your muscles for them to heal. Botox has an afterlife way beyond what is quoted and should be used at MOST twice a year in a very controlled and undiluted way.

There's about 52 muscles in the human face, not including any individual distinctions regarding things like posterior and inferior, longitudinal and transversus, and major and minor.

It is not possible to predict with 100% certainty how the face will respond to partial paralysis and the long term effects of botox in the face are unknown and there are NO scientific studies I know of in this are currently running based on long term users of cosmetic botox. you know why.. so that when it comes out it destroys the muscles ability to contract and stay healthy over time they can claim ignorance and avoid liability.

willfull blindness is what it is. they see women claiming bad side effects and claim it's aging which is bullshit.

you are still beautiful to your husband .. this man will love you in a care home, in a wheelchair - whatever. Love is love.

when you are competing pull your hair tight - get cornrows it will give you a temporary facelift.

keep those muscles working on your face but be gentle they have been chemically damaged. do not focus on your face too much - focus on your mind and your body at this time. tell yourself you are STRONG and SMART every day and you are turning your back on the insecurities that led you down this path.

LOVE your little face, be compassionate towards yourself and HEAL this. It's not your fault - bad technique is not the users fault. but don't hurt yourself further - you will come back from this nightmare and be 200% better because what doesn't kill - defo makes you stronger.

love and light

Hey Girly,

Still recovering from botox issues but skin where dissolver went in much thicker now ? it takes take for the HA to build back up so watch your diet is rich in the essential oils and minerals ? feed your face , so to speak
