March 2, 2017
Asked By:victoriaxoxoxo in New York, NY

had botox two months ago (10 units on each crows feet which i thought exessive since i usually get 6). i wanted a brow lift, but the ps injected around my eye and no brow lift. puffy cheek when smiling (you can really see the cheek muscle becoming round and puffying out when smiling) btw botox effect began the same night (not sure why botox acted so fast) ,. 2 months later no signs of botox softening. i am worried ill be stuck with this look for a long time.
