I am about 7 months out. I do look better than the pics now. Dr had mentioned botox as a solution. I have dents, lateral sweep and draping skin on the sides of my mouth. Thoughts? I really don't want to deal with the maintenance

Answer: Sometimes a Revision Surgery is just needed.
That's an extremely strange side effect of getting botox injected to the forehead, given that there are no saliva glands there. Are you sure they're related? I highly doubt it would happen again unless you have some very unusual possible autoimmune condition going on.
Normal saline and bacteriostatic saline are not the same. Bacteriostatic sodium chloride has an extra ingredient that helps to inhibit bacterial growth in the vial. It makes it appropriate for multi use vials.
After 5 months the Botox has likely worn off. From your description you may have festoons. I encourage you to visit with your injector or a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate your swelling concerns.
