I've been a regular Botox user for 5 years. I recently had extremely painful injections with no result 17 days later.

I have regularly had botox over the past 4/5 years with no discomfort and great results. I went back for my top up 17 days ago. I found the procedure extremely painful not the needle prick but as the botox was injected it felt like, under my skin was stinging and burning it was so painful. Now it's over 2 weeks and i have noticed no difference. I plan on going back to my plastic surgeon. Was it not injected correctly? Why was it so different this time? And is the pain and poor result connected?
