Temporal wasting after first time Botox injection for crows-feet, appears permanent, now what? (photos)

Asked By:Rivergirl37 in Richland, WA

Had Botox injections by an MD last September, developed severe temporal muscle atrophy not resolved in 7 mo. Doctor's office denied Botox was the cause, said they'd never heard of this effect, but stated if it was Botox the effects would be temporary, resolving in 3 months, they have not. Currently consulting with PS to repair damage. Reasonable to request MD refund $$$ for improper injections causing this outcome? Apparently this effect shouldn't occur with correct cosmetic use.
