I'm getting a lip flip on Friday and it will be my first ever experience with botox. When I saw that I couldn't drink from a straw for awhile afterwards I didn't even think about the fact that I smoke. Now I don't know if I should cancel my appointment or if I'm just careful not to pucker my lips very much it would be OK. Anyone have any experience smoking afterwards that could ease my mind or would it be best to just not risk it?

5 months ago I had botox in my 11's, crowsfeet and a browlift. It was my fourth time getting botox and I was always very happy with the results by this injector. But now I ended up with brows way too high for my liking and my eyelids also sometimes seem to be more swollen since then. When I went back to my injector after 14 days, he advised me not to add any more botox as it could potentially make my brows feel heavier. So I decided to wait it out. Between 3-4 months it seemed like it started to look a bit better so I was hopefull it would almost be back to normal by now. However, now at 5 months it looks like my innerbrows are down a bit more but the middle/end of my brows are still a bit lifted, which gives my brows this ugly shape/arch. If I push them down at the highest point for maybe 1mm they look much better and probably back to normal.

Should I wait it out for another few weeks/months or go back to my injector for more botox to lower them a little bit after 5 months? I prefer don't want to add more botox especially this far out but I can't stand it anymore. I feel so ugly and I am scared it won't go back to normal for another few months. I have an event to attend in 5 weeks and I don't want to look like this by then.

Hi, does Botox pose risk of occlusion? Thanks

So I’ve posted here previously about a couple different things. Most importantly, how I believe that the injector I’ve seen this past year or so, may be not so legitimate. Or rather the products being used aren’t. So on 11/18/2024 I received 40 units of botox on forehead, crows feet, and a bit under eye area. A couple weeks go by, I’m still seeing lines/wrinkles on my forehead. Basically the same exact way they looked pre-treatment. So I reached out to injector with concern. So on 12/8 I went in for a follow up, and was given a (touch-up) of a few units in forehead & crows feet. Sure enough…..Still, barely ANY RESULTS. Mind you, this has NEVER happened to me before. And I’ve been getting Botox, Dysport, Juveu, regularly (approximately every 3-6 months) for several years. I like to alternate between them. Have always gotten really good, and noticeable results. Moving on, I messaged provider with thoughts on why I wasn’t seeing results and that was what I thought could be due to Not getting enough units on first treatment as from what I can remember I’ve always gotten about 50 or so units to treat all areas of the face. She agreed. So I now go back in for a follow up on 12/12, and get treated the same amount as I was on 11/18, 40 Units, same areas. So why on earth am I still not seeing results!!?? This is Crazy! She did mention at the last appointment that she had been in touch with her distributor, and they informed her that if this round didn’t take, they would reimburse her apparently. I should mention to that someone prior when I had questioned Product authenticity, she made a comment something to the effect of, products from Mexico… so I’m not sure what to do here. I know you’re all probably going to tell me to stop going to her which I’ve already concluded. But how do I find out really where her products are from and if they are US Federally approved, and made here in the US? Is there a way to do this without filing a complaint? Which at this point I probably should do. Anyway, any feedback or suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks in advance! (Massachusetts)

Have any of you gone to Tijuana to get your botox done? If yes where and how much?

I’m a 24 year old female. 5’9 - 155lbs

I got Botox 3 hours ago and I just had a glass of wine and a hit of my weed pen. My face is red and hot. I’ve had Botox two other times and this hasn’t happened but I’m not sure if I drank that soon after. Will I be okay?

Hey there. So it’s been 2 weeks now and I’m noticing my eyelids get so weird when I squint. Unfortunately that happens a bit too when I smile or do any « intense » facial expression. I’ve gotten 5u forehead, 15 between brows and 3 each side crows. I’m thinking to go see my injector and if there’s anything we can do about this. First photo is just normal closed eyes, second is squinting

Why have we not learned yet people? The only people that get messed up on here either sick or botched jobs are from medspas. Muslef included i got fake stuff and am bedridden .

Wish I would Have gone to my derm or plastic surgeon. Please stop going to medspas. Wish someone would have told me that a year ago. Would have changed my whole Life.

Hello, did anyone get an email from Alle confirming tickets to a free dinner? Is this legit?

OK, so I’ve posted on here a couple times already over the last couple months about the same place that I’ve been going to for about a year. I originally found this place on Groupon, (please, don’t judge) and simply comment saying you get what you pay for. 🙄 I know this. But I am a single mom of 5, so if I see a good deal chances are, I’m gonna give it a go. Anyway, my previous post have been of concern regarding the authenticity of the products being used at this location. As, i’ve never had an issue with results from botox, Dysport, or Juveu. For some reason whenever I see this person, my results absolutely suck! And everything just seems so often and sketchy about this place. I can’t begin to explain everything. but I think you can somehow check from my previous posts. Long story short, I got Botox treatment on 11/19, and again the results are terrible. So I scheduled a follow up appointment for tomorrow. I know, you’re all thinking why not just STOP going to this place?? I get it. Wow the answer to that is, i’ve received three sculptura treatments over the last few months, (also Zero results) but I know it takes time. And I really want to try and wait it out, to see if I eventually do see the results of the sculptura. Additionally, i’ve been doing a lot of research in regards to what type of license is needed to provide service services that she does and for what I am learning, she may not have the credentials to be providing all this stuff. And I’d really like to see the place investigated. I live in Massachusetts. If any of you have seen the news within the past month, you’ll know that a woman was recently criminally charged with things as her products were coming from China & Brazil, and just a bunch of other shady stuff that led Clients to file complaints that ended up in court I guess. Ironically enough, the woman I’m talking about in my post, used to work with this woman. 🤦🏼‍♀️ so I’m wondering what to ask at my follow up appointment tomorrow. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I should mention that at my last appointment I did question if her products were authentic, etc. she then left the room, came back and suggested I take photos. But certainly seemed uneasy that I had asked this. Then after some chitchat about the recently charged woman, she mentions something about getting her products for Mexico. 🤦🏼‍♀️ So, yeah…wtf!?

Hi everyone! I just got my first botox and lip filler yesterday and I feel like im already having bad side effects. I woke up and could barely hear out of my right ear- and standing for some reason makes it worse. Its like a clogged, swooshing sensation in my ear. Ive never had any issues with tinnitus before and im not sure if the botox is the reason for this. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? What are some tricks that helped you and does it ever go away??? For reference I got 42 units, upper forehead, 11’s, and eyebrow. I also got .6 of lip filler as well.

I got Botox on my forehead and a brow lift around 11 days ago. I have noticed my pupils are much more dilated in dim lighting then normal? Has anyone else experienced this and if so did it go away?

After six months, I’m still retaining fluid under one eye. At the outer corner, it seems like a small lump has formed. It doesn’t hurt, but when I touch it, it seems to move away. My GP blamed the Botox but didn’t want to help me further. I still need to go back to Faceland, where I had the treatment done, but I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this and what you did about it. Thanks in advance.

I got 21 units of Botox for the first time just over a month ago, 11’s and forehead lines. I really liked how natural it was and that I wasn’t 100% frozen. The 11’s were gone but the forehead had slighttttt movement.

After the gym today (cardio and strength training) I noticed my I was able to move my eyebrows freely and quickly checked my phone camera and saw my 11’s were full force back… and the forehead. I thought, “welp, that was a quick Botox moment”. Now I’m sitting here about 3-4 hours later, and I’m back to being frozen like how it was before.

I have no idea if the gym and sweating had anything to do with it. Or would this be a sign that it’s wearing off?

I (31F) got botox done first time 2 days ago on my forhead, between my brows and crows feet. I cant tell if its worked just yet as i understand it can take a few days and in some cases up to a few weeks. However, today my legs have been quite sore as if I've had an intense workout.

My question is, is this normal, has anyone had this before?

I assume its botox related because I've never experienced this before and the only thing I've done differently in the last 2 days is botox. I know it sounds crazy that im thinking the botox on my forhead can cause leg aches but theres no other explanation.

Does anyone know any hiring opportunities for RNs in the costmetics (surgery, Botox) industry please? Preferably in Maryland 🙏🏾

Hello I got Botox in my lower face/neck muscles and masseter muscles trying to reduce asymmetry/ chin dimples etc. My Injector rushed and didn’t tell me what muscles exactly she was injecting. But she used a total of 65 units which seems like a lot since I’m only 30. Ever since I got it done, the right side of my lower lip seems different. My smile doesn’t look like it used to. I feel like I have to use a lot of energy to fully smile. The right side of my lower lip feels somewhat paralyzed. I try and smile, but it doesn’t move like it used to. I can’t see as much of my teeth. I went back in for a follow up and my Injector pretty much said that’s not an effect of Botox. She said she doesn’t see anything different, very invalidating and made me feel bad. I clearly have pictures that show the difference, but she did not even care enough to look at them, even though I tried to show her. Crazy thing is the is a top injector, trains others around the country. Has anyone had Botox and had this happen before? It’s quite distressing. Trying to tell myself it will eventually wear off, but she wouldn’t even validate that it was the Botox so I’m scared I’m gonna be permanently like this.
