I wanted to look refreshed for the holidays so I got Botox in my forehead, crows feet and between eyes. I asked for a small amount because I didn't want to look fake. I got 12 units in forehead, 12 units between eyes and 6 units for each crows feet. The infections were done on Thursday morning and by Friday afternoon I could see good results. By Saturday night I noticed that my right eyebrow was raised more than the left and I had some strange wrinkles on the lateral side of the right eye. On Monday I stopped by to have the PA who injected me take a look. She said that she could inject a "dot"above the right brow to make it drop. After injection she said that she used 4 units. I immediately thought that sounded like a lot. Monday night my right eye felt strange and when I woke up Tuesday morning the right lid had dropped. I called the PA and she said to start Naphcon A drops which I did immediately. I have used the drops 4X daily with NO improvement. I actually think it's worse.
I'm so depressed and mad at myself. My Thanksgiving was miserable. I was trying to avoid eye contact with everyone. Now it looks like I will spend the Christmas holidays looking like a freak too. I will NEVER have Botox again. Oh how I wish I had my fine lines back!

I'm so sorry to hear what happen to you :-( Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have read many nasty things about the side effects of botox injections, from terrible results to breathing problems (how scary...). I am going to cancel my appointment. The best of luck! I hope you'll solve this issue soon.

I know people who've had it every 3-4 months for several years with no problem, but now that I know those "rare" side effects happen I will NEVER do again. I don't think it's getting worse, so now I just have to wait it out.

Did she just inject the eyebrow?? Under or above the brow? I can imagine how you feel but you still look beautiful!

No, she injected forehead, crows feet and between eyes. It was above the brow. I'm still not exactly sure what happened. Thank you for your kind words.

I think this is awful! What are the consumer laws in your location? If you are in the EU you may be granted to have the procedures redone until you get the agreed upon result

They did refund my money and check on me weekly. I do not want anymore Botox. Time to grow old gracefully.

I had botox on Saturday, November 26th. It is only one day later and my results are awful. I am terrified of what I will look like when results really settle in in 5-7 days. I look like Carrot Top in the eyebrows. Horrible dramatic arch. She did 20 units between my eyes and eight in the forehead. Also I am experiencing headache, anxiety, and pressure in the ears that is making me afraid to go back in to ask to have the brow relaxed. I feel like my heart is racing, especially when I lie down. I just want this three months to be over and I will never do this again. :(

I am so sorry for your trouble, I had swelling and new wrinkles after botox myself. Botox can be a real nightmare.

May I know how's your eyes now. I did Botox 2 weeks ago and now I can feel my forehead is heavy, eyelids droop. It affects my work as I feel tired easily and dizzy. I really regretted to get Botox injection.

Thankfully my eye is completely normal now. Unfortunately it took 9 weeks for the droop to resolve. I hope yours doesn't take that long. I hear that it usually resolves sooner. Good luck!

So sorry you've had this experience. I hope it leaves your system quickly; thank goodness it's not permanent.
How are you ?
I wish you read my review as I feel fed up from rewriting it again !!
Sorry , for what you have been through ...
And I wish that you will recover fast , I heard from other stories that by the end of one month (3-4 weeks) you will see some improvement( hopefully earlier...
I was searching this site as I am till now fed up from the feeling of botox ( tightness feeling is like a hell ... Thought thanks God it is becoming slightly better but it is still driving me crazy....
One lady told me you will go through it ... And I am telling you you will do well... Just be patient
Take care dear
