I received botox in my forhead, between my eyebrows and the crows feet about two weeks ago. On day two I got really sick. It spread through my body causing numbness in my limbs. I had to be hospitalised for a few days. But now my eyebrows and lashes are thinning really bad.

Is it because the blood doesn't circulate as it suppose to?
