Am I Permanently Disfigured with Swollen, Puffy, Eyes from Botox? 8 Weeks Post Injection. (photo)

September 6, 2012
Asked By:anonymous104

I am 56 days past having my forehead only treated with 21 units of botox. I am horribly disfigured and have shown absolutely NO signs of improvment. I am terrified that botox has caused permanent disfigurement to my face :(. My eyes are so swollen, full, heavy, and UGLY. I have seen a plastic surgeon for a second opinion & he suggested painful, expensive, surgery. I am devestated. I am only 28 years old Please look at my before/after pictures and tell me your thoughts. Your time is appreciated.
