Got 10 units botox, touch up 5 +10 units 3 months later. (Feb 24 th) I was not a good candidate! My face was narrow v shape to start with.1 month post treatment no 2 I started to see change in my face! Nasobial folds got deep,lower cheek droopy, undereye skin saggy, jawline less defined. I look(ed) min. 5 years older. Now 3 months later I see improvement in nasobial folds +lower cheek.undereye skin still loose, jawline less defined+ folds visible.When will these unwanted effects be 100% gone? :(
