Looking and feeling better!
Woke up with droopy, very hoodrd upper eyelids
I woke up feeling unusually tired and when I finally looked in the mirror, I saw that I had lots of yellow faded bruising everywhere that the injections were placed, and the worst part was very droopy puffy upper eyelids. Immediately i blamed botox, not voluma: I also got my routine Botox eyebrow lift at the same time as my Voluma, so I freaked out thinking that that was done incorrectly.
I paid sassy a visit this evening, and she agreed my hooding was extreme. I cried, because in 1 week i have to be in a very big wedding, and the next day i am going to hawaii with my new boyfriend: two special events i wanted to look amazing for.
I've had bad Botox injections that have caused similar hideous hooding, and I know that it lasts at least a month if not two or three. I was devastated.
BUT, my eyebrows themselves look great and lifted, and I still have lots of movement; thy're not frowny or straight like they were with previous bad injections.
Sassy was very comforting and worried. Since she didn't put any Botox in my forehead, it didn't make sense that my eyelids were drooping. Plus my eyebrows look great. She then noticed that when I looked down, she could tell that my entire eye area was swollen… And that the hooding was most likely swelling, probably not from the Botox after all, but from my body repairing itself from the voluma injections.
So I felt a bit better (difficult with heavy eyelids), and went to Sprouts for Arnica gel. I've put it on three times in the last few hours and it doesn't seem to be doing anything yet. I'm drinking lots of herbal tea and water. I'm going to ice my eyes like crazy and pray to the beauty gods that it goes away before I meet my boyfriend's family tomorrow!!!
I have a bunch of metal spoons in the freezer waiting their turns.
Maybe in the morning a miracle will have occured :)
