Had Botox 10 Days Ago. Still No Paralysis. Did Something Go Wrong? Does It Just Take Longer?

June 9, 2013
Asked By:charla1111

I had botox 10 days ago. I can still use my forehead muscles same as before. It's as if I had nothing done. The Dr. told me it would take 5 to 7 days to take full effect but it's been 10 and with no effect. What is wrong? Is it the Dr.'s fault? Should I be complaining to him?
