Has anyone had a patient who could feel and sometimes see Botox moving down their face?
I went to a board certified plastic surgeon for my 11 lines 45 days ago and got droopy brows and eyes, blurry vision, forehead pain, dry skin & mouth, sudden high blood pressure. I have sharp pain in my forehead, a tingling, pin prick, dripping sensation, sometimes with pressure, and then I can actually feel and sometimes can see where the Botox is dripping. I first started feeling this behind my eyes and my brows and eyes drooped within minutes (day 2), then it got bulgy at the injection sites, moved to the side of my eyebrows & puffed up, then cheeks puffed up, then lower cheeks & upper lip puffed up, then a big bulge under bottom lip appeared. I’m worried some of this might be permanent.
