On July 5th I went to the office of Dr. Lee...
On July 5th I went to the office of Dr. Lee Epstein to receive Botox. We did the treatment around 4pm. By 8am the next day I knew something was wrong and quickly called his office and spoke with Rosie the secretary. I explained to Rosie that my eyebrow was to dipped down and also something was wrong with my eye lid. I was not able to get my eye liner on as usual and requested to have the Doctor call me back. Shortly after he called and I went to see him @ 3:30 pm.
When I went into his office. He didn’t even sit me into a chair. He immediately got very defensive. He looked at me and gave me a whole speech on how I would be the first woman in history with Botox working within the first 24 hours and blah blah blah. "Whatever was happening with your eyebrow was not due to Botox!!!”
I also called him when I two days later concerned with the appearances of my dropped looking eyebrow and both eye lids! The more and more we spoke, The arrogant and defensive he became. He asked for pictures of my past. I gave him everything he requested. He questioned a lot of the pics partially because I look so good LOL.
Well, now we have a bigger problem. On July 10th, I woke up with the most excruciating migraine I've ever felt. Vibration in my forehead and double vision in my left eye. Since that day I've been home bound in my dark room. I'm currently unable to squint, therefore I cannot open my shades or leave the house on a sunny day, even with sunglasses on. After seeing a NYC neurologist, Dr. Joey Safdieh of NY Cornell, we realized that the problem with my eyebrow dropping and the excruciating pain was a result of him hitting a nerve in my forehead. Now I have nerve ending pain which I cannot get relief from. I am on major pain medication. I am taking nerve pain medications, prednisones, sleep medications, anti migraine meds as well as Tylenol w/ codeine and nothing stops the vibration in my head. All these inhibit me from driving, but I can't leave my room anyway. I constantly feel drugged up and lethargic and I'm still in pain. I had to cancel a trip planned with friends abroad.
What upsets me the most how ARROGANT Dr. Gibstein was when he told me "Sweetie, put on some makeup and try to go out." Thanks to this procedure my summer normally spent with family is now sitting in my dark room in seclusion.
