Asked By:anonymous104

I am one month post botox injections (21 units between forehead/gabella) and still have severely swollen eyelids. I have NOT improved at all in nearly 5 weeks. My eyes are sunken into my head and I am terrified this will be permanent. I seen a plastic surgeon yesterday and he told me I will now need eyelid surgery to repair the damage caused by the botox. Please tell me this isn't so :'(. Will I really need eyelid surger @ 28 because of botox?! Please see my before/after pictures and comment.
