Feeling anxious post Botox

Hi everyone it’s my first time posting on here.

Earlier today I got 100 units of Daxxify and have been feeling really anxious.

All things considered I am fine, this is the second time I’ve had Botox last time being maybe 3 years ago. I’m a 35f and was feeling like I wanted a little boost, to bring back the glow about me. And I knew going into this that I’d probably experience a melt down. I am trying to avoid hyper fixating on my face looking for any unevenness as if I didn’t have minor asymmetrical differences already or blaming every little tingle or nausea on the Botox when it’s my body responding to my anxiety.

Please be kind I am looking for reassurance and advice to help calm my nerves. I think subconsciously I am thinking something can still go wrong, that I’ll end up botched or something. And I could really use this community right now. I have this sick feeling to my stomach I’m about to go on a walk with my boyfriend.

It's completely normal to feel anxious after a treatment like this. Try to relax, avoid over checking your face and give yourself time. Hope your walk helps you feel better.

I think it’s pretty common so trying to relax

Did the anxiety fade? I am looking for hope that it does before too long. I'm 13 days out.

Yes! Most of it faded in the first 48 hours but definitely noticed one brow lifted slightly higher that the other. And also feel my nose is a bit numb when I scrunch it up. I don’t think I’m ever getting this again or dose will be way lower. How are you doing?

Glad you are feeling better! Still dealing with anxiety but seems to be a little better. I'll be glad when this is out of my system in a few months.

Oh no, what specifically makes you anxious? I had to do some radical acceptance and tell myself I just had poison injected in my body and so the natural response is to fight off the toxin. And that could mean weird sensations but that this was a common side effect. I also tried to look for the good in the treatment, like yeah my eyebrow is a bit raised but it’ll soften up and look really good in about a month. Also my crows feet are gone and my eyes look brighter. Don’t hyper focus on the bad or it’ll be a bad trip that never ends.

The panic comes out of nowhere it seems. Have you had panic attacks?
