44 First and Last Botox Experience, Not Eye Lid Droop but Some Eye Brow Droop and Swelling! No Thanks! - Bentonville, AR

So I have still been doing research on botox since this stuff damaged my face. Botox just released a new common issues disclaimer, and eye swelling is among the common symptoms. Mind you I have had doctors on this very website tell me that botox can't cause that. Look it up girls and boys. That being said, being right doesn't correct what happened to me. I still get swelling some days, and the swelling created new wrinkles under my eyes I never had before. Botox is an ongoing nightmare for me and I had it last April. I strongly advise you not to do this to yourself.

So for anyone who has not been following along. I had botox for the first time in April . I am 44. I only had 20 units in my forehead. The next day I woke up with both eyes nearly swollen shut. I did not have eye lid droop but one of my eye brows dropped some. I had upper and lower lid swelling in my eyes for months following this procedure. My doctor who is one of the top ten plastic surgeons in the south swore she had never seen this reaction. Doing research I have found many people suffer swelling, indentations and other sagging issues after botox. I am 8 months out from my treatment. I still have days with swelling. I never had this before in my whole life. I don't suffer from allergies. Further, botox gave me lines under my eyes that have not gone away since. I woke up with them morning after the treatment and am still living with them. (Under eye wrinkles). I never had those. Doctors on this sight tried to tell me I must have had them before and just not noticed them. Lets get real girls; we know every single line on our faces we stare at them every single day as we apply makeup. I found the doctors dismissive attitude insulting and ridiculous. I even posted before and after photos to which they argued more time must have passed. No, I really woke up the next day with lines and swelling I had never experienced in my whole life. 8 months later and it is still not all the way resolved though it has improved. Feel free to message me. I am happy to share my experience. I am finally looking more like my old self, but I am really annoyed about these new lines botox gave me. You pay to look better not age yourself.

So I posted photos on this website for doctors to answer the question of whether these new wrinkles that botox caused will go away. There are all saying the wrinkle ARE not caused by botox. I call bull. In my photos the dermatologist took before I got botox I did NOT have these wrinkles. I got botox and woke up with these wrinkles the next day. Be real doctors. I am tired of being lied to about what botox can cause. And Realself, should know by the problems posted on the boards other people are having this problem too. I don't appreciate having smoke blown up my you know what as doctors cover their own butts about a procedure that is obviously not safe, and has weird side effects. Read the forums, do your reasearch before you get botox. I am six months out and still suffering with swelling and wrinkles I never had before. Some doctor here, told me I must have just noticed after the botox. UM NO> I do extensive cosmetics every single day. It is absurd to suggest I don't know what my own face looks like. Plus I have before and after photos to prove it.
