Asked By:elle1985 in London, GB

I had Botox on Saturday 1st time. Fine of the day and following day. On the Sunday I did have exposure to sun and slightly burn my forehead and a little on nose but still no swelling. I applied aloe vera gel to the burn areas and went to bed. Monday, I had slight swelling on the eyes an d between eyebrows. The eyes went down but the brow remained swollen. Today I have woken to complete swelling around eyes/brows. I look puffy. Tried cold compresses but nothing. Can someone please help!
