I received 50 units of Botox and the next morning I woke up with a swollen forehead & eyelids. I sent the images to the aesthetician and she said I had a sinus infection & bacteria got into the injection site. She gave me a prescription for Medrol dose & a z pack. After 10 days, I was back to normal but all of my wrinkles came back too (last picture). Is she correct? Am I allergic or was it just a bad reaction? I keep reading there are no reports of allergic reactions. So what happened to me?
