Is it normal for your face to feel heavy after Botox? Can it travel to a different place in your face?

mhead04
Day1-my eyes felt very heavy my R eye mostly, when i closed my eyes it seemed to feel worse, day2-my nose felt stiff, Day3 my cheeks and into my jaw line are feeling heavy an a little restricted, I can smile but it feels odd. Is the botox traveling from top to bottom in my face? I had a total of 20units 12 -14 put in for my 11's and the rest in the forehead. Day 3 i do not have much movement in frowning for my 11s but i still have some for my forehead, i know it takes a few days. Is this normal?
