Be Careful. Unable to Smile for 4 Months. Be Careful of Being Upsold Things You Dont Need.

Poor. I am 26. I went in for fillers after cracking my skull in motorbike accident and feeling really bad about myself.
As I was sitting in the chair about to have my fillers injected, I mentioned that I had read online that you can turn up the tip of your nose with Botox. I was handed a consent form to sign in the chair.
I had never had botox or any cosmetic injectable before so I asked repeatedly for confirmation that this would not freeze my face. Specifically, assurance that it would not affect my smile as it was my favorite feature. I assured that it would not affect my smile, I would still be able to use my face and that I'd see the results straight away. Ok good.
A couple days later in tragic irony I was unable to smile. My whole top lip was frozen. The corners of my mouth turned down when I smiled. I did not understand what had happened at all. Assumed something was botched.
I returned to the clinic to discover that I was injected with something I had never heard of which was called Dysport..and told that I had requested a procedure to reduce my 'gummy smile'.....My smile is perfect. I never expressed any problem with my smile to him or his colleague and most obviously....I DONT HAVE a gummy smile. At. All. How. Does a miscommunication like that occur... When a doctor is too keen to take your money and take advantage of your poor self-esteem.
A different procedure was performed on me to the one I gave consent to and the undereye fillers I was given had to be dissolved as I was over injected... I was refused a refund for both procedures.
Only now 4 months later am I able to smile again (but still not fully) and the undereye bags turned out to just be water retention. Expensive lesson to learn... Never again.

I told the Dr about it, but I get the same results. I like having the smooth forehead, but the eye droops are too ugly and uncomfortable to justify the forehead results. It takes almost three months for the lids to get back to normal, and by then I am needing the Dysport again. I don't know if I am going to get it again.
I might try Botox, but wondering if the same thing will happen.
