Update! The first time I had botox (only for the glabellar lines), I did get a bad headache. It pretty much seemed to be the result of trying to use muscles that were paralyzed, putting a strain on the ones that could move. I was fighting the change in normal muscle contraction. A wicked tension headache.

The last time I did Botox, I also did around the eyes. No headache because now I really can't squint anymore. In fact, the point of contact (deviated septum) headache I was getting (from the teeth to the sinus to the eye and top of head) had eased up! Unbelievable!
So I have to suggest that some of you are getting the headache due to muscles "fighting" to contract. In some cases, I could see this cascading into other areas of the body and even becoming a vicious circle.

Do you know how many units you had? That is more important...

Taken from medical site (cc=ml): Typical dilutions vary between 2 to 4 ml. A 2 ml dilution produces a 1 cc syringe that contains 50 units of BOTOX®. A 4 ml dilution produces a 1 cc syringe that contains 25 units of BOTOX®. Be aware that some office dilute their BOTOX® with as much as 20 ml of saline producing a syringe that contains just 5 units of BOTOX®.

Looks great!

thanks for the important info!

In the northeast, they dilute a whole vial and maybe get 10 injection points per vial. I suppose it could be diluted more but it has to be used within 24 hours.
