I got 45 units of Botox injected yesterday: forehead, between brows, crows feet. using Botox 8+ years. never experienced these symptoms before. Usually small swelling around injection site subsides within an hour / less. Got injections at 4.30pm. Areas v swollen all night, painful to touch. Felt very bruised / 'full', especially in forehead area. Swelling persists 24 hours on. Am concerned allergic reaction to saline / non-Allergan product. Use zolpidem to sleep usually. OK?
