I got Botox in my anterior belly throat 5 days ago, it's bruised and swollen, I look like a bullfrog. Is this normal? (Photos)

Asked By:lagavulinx in Seattle, WA

Neurologistics used it to help me not squint so hard with my eyes. This would be about the 10th time ive received botox. However the 1st time I've ever been injected in the anterior belly throat area to try to suppress clicking noises & making my throat bullfrog out. I immediately got a bruise but now it looks like my throat is puffing even more like a bullfrog. It did nothing for the clicking. Are my muscles going to stay bulging or is this temporary. Help! I feel insecure
