I had to find a new Dr for botox so I did my research and decided on a facial plastic surgeon double board certified with great reviews from 3 different sources. I got Botox last Tuesday. He used 75 units for forehead, eyes, mouth & chin. I’ve never had that amount of Botox but trusted he knew why he was doing. The next day under my right eye was bruised and swollen.
