Should I Still Be Able to Squint and Form the "11"s on Day 8 After Botox?

February 10, 2012
Asked By:jennyct in Connecticut, CT

It's been eight days, and although I see a 20% improvement, I can still squint, forming those 11s between my brows. She did two shots in that area, then one each over the arch and three on each crow's feet area on the sides of my eyes. Do I need to wait a bit longer, go back for more injections or accept that this is probably the way my body reacts? I paid by the area treated, not by the units, so I don't have any idea if she would retreat free of charge.
