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?
Answer: Heaviness after Botox, Xeomin or Dysport It can be normal to experience heaviness for a short time after having a neuromodulator or “muscle relaxer” placed. Sometimes you can avoid that heaviness sensation by placing it in areas that will not cause things like brow ptosis, eyelid ptosis or other unwanted side effects. It does not sound like you had an excess injected and likely this sensation will subside. It is hard to answer directly as I do not know where the injector placed the product. I would visit your provider and see if eyedrops are necessary for possible lid ptosis or if this is just truly a heaviness sensation which can be normal. Please do not hesitate to call your provider. They would want to see you if there are any concerns.

Answer: Botox and heavy feeling at day 3 there is not much if any effect of Botox. Give it a week to begin to work well. The Botox is not traveling. Stop obsessing and relax
