Is my Disfigured Face a "Common" Botox Occurrence? Or the Result of an Inexperienced Injector? (photo)

anonymous104
I had recieved botox for over 2 years and LOVED the results. I recently went to a new injector (a 26 year old LPN) and had 21 units of botox injected. I STRESSED that I wanted no more than 15 units. My results are horrific. I am now being told by the injector that my results a "common" botox side effect and have NOTHING to do with techinique or over use. Please look at my before/after pictures and give an opinion. I will never use botox again if this is "common" rather than from inexperience.
