December 31, 2016
Asked By:anakie in Hampden Sydney, VA

I am really scared after reading posts about permanent damage. I had Botox for a for a twitch in my eye (it looks like I'm winking) - I saw a neurologist. He injected my cries feet like and cheek (which was his call not mine) and now I can't smile properly. My face is kind of frozen. My mouth won't lift on the left when I smile. I'm scared I will never be normal again.
