Asked By:elainegoldy in ireland

I had botox 4 days ago and i look terrible.I have been getting botox on and off for about 6 years now and i never had any trouble until now. I went to a different clinic, looked lovely had all the qualifications etc but im devestated with the result. when i get up in the morning my eyes are all puffy and heavy- it feels like i cant open them, my eyelids are hooded and when i try and frown i look deformed as my eyelids droop down.I still have a tiny movement in my eyebrows can anything be done?
