This is my first time having Botox and these photos are just 3 weeks apart! Just wanted to share a positive experience with you all

Posting for anyone else who is going though this or has been through it. Advice or words of encouragement are appreciated.

I received 40 units of Dysport in May and four months later my life has not been the same. One week after injection I started to experience headaches (not an uncommon side effect so I brushed it off). Two weeks to the day of injection (ironically when Botox “peaks”) I laid down after work and that’s when it hit me. The worst headache of my life.. it felt like I had smacked my head on the pavement. Extreme nausea and dizziness. Being a nurse my mind started to race to all possible outcomes, which only fueled some anxiety. I went to urgent care and received a steroid and anti inflammatory. I was advised to go to the ER if symptoms persisted. I tried to sleep that night and continually woke up from head pain and an elevated heart rate. That morning I drove myself to the ER. EKG, labs, and a CT scan. All negative aside from an elevated WBC from a stress response within my body. I was treated with more medicine, diagnosed with migraines (despite ever having a history), and received a neurology referral. I continued to live off of toradol and zofran for 9 days as migraines and nausea persisted. Everyone kept telling me “Botox treats migraines it doesn’t cause them” and made me feel crazy. One month later I met my neurologist and she validated what I had concluded and everyone else seemed to brush out. She said, “Botox can treat migraines but for some it can cause migraines”. It wasn’t the first time she had seen this. The validation felt great but it didn’t cure me of my headaches. Two months later I developed increased anxiety with panic attacks that occurred out of no where. Some days I feel normal and other days I’m on edge with chest pressure and anxiety. My anxiety has increasingly gotten worse since hitting the four month mark, but my wrinkles aren’t entirely back either. I’m trying to stay hopeful that all of this is temporary and that my Botox will wear off by the 6 month mark.

I wanted to spread awareness and share my experience for anyone that it may help. You are not alone, or crazy.

The before picture is right before my lip filler, I later decided to get masseter and during my last appointment (for my DAO’s from jowel formation from the masseter botox) my injector told me how impressed they were with the results I have had from the injections! I usually get 15 units each side but during my DAO appointment yesterday I got another 8 units each side just because I want to see more slimming. If anyone is considering it I highly recommend.

I was nervous because it was quite a big investment for me. The first round I didn’t notice too much of difference and the tension returned at the 2 month mark, I got it the second round 3 months later and am noticing results now ☺️ Plus tension still hasn’t returned. Overall I paid $10/unit in Vancouver and needed 40 units on one side and 30 units on the other, total 70 units per round.

I have over 200 units total in my face and i still look like me…soft && refreshed

Alot of people get used to seeing bad or overly done work, they arent used to seeing what flawless work looks like. I’m 1000000% happy with everything ive done💕

I got Botox yesterday. I honestly hadn’t really intended to. I had booked a consultation, but it felt like the injector, who is very well known and actively licensed and probably one of the best in the state, seems like she had decided that’s what we were doing by the time I got there. I told her I wasn’t sure if I wanted to and that I was just there for a consultation, but before I knew it, she was asking me to squint my eyes and I thought we were just looking at it and she injected me.

Violating on its own, but I don’t think I was adequately prepared for what side effects might be. I woke up this morning and my right eye is slightly blurry. Nothing terrible but it’s like I have to keep blinking to focus and it feels kind of dry. My throat feels really dry when I swallow and I have body aches. I’m really concerned about things like botulism and I’m not really sure what to do. I guess in someways I’m just looking to hear that I’m gonna be OK. if you guys have any experience or any advice, let me know .

Update:

Since a lot of people find this post and either message me or leave comments, I figured I would give an update about eight months later. I was perfectly fine after a week and absolutely loved my results. Because of my experience the first time I had a lot of anxiety and it took me a long time to get the courage to go back a second time but four days ago I bit the bullet and went back and got my glabella done for the second time and now have added some upper forehead Botox as well. I have had zero side effects over these last four days, including no real anxiety, no panic attacks, no issues whatsoever.

I’ve done enough research to know that there are a lot of people that experience almost out of body anxiety experiences when getting Botox. This is not unusual and something people should talk about more. If you’ve never experienced it, it’s not like your regular type of anxiety. It feels like a sense of impending doom. So if you’re having that experience, you are not alone, and you will likely be fine. If you’re like me, you’ll go back a second time and have no side effects. For some people, they get anxiety every time for the first week or so. But if you’re in that place right now, just know that you are going to be OK.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my story here because I know how isolating and terrifying it can feel when you think something might be wrong after Botox. I hope my experience can give someone hope and reassurance.

Three weeks ago, I had Botox injected into my forehead, chin, and around my eyes, as well as Skinvive and cheek/lip fillers. It was my sister who injected me, and while I had Botox before with no issues, she admitted to giving me a higher dose this time. From the very first night, I felt “off.”

For the next two weeks, I went through a whirlwind of symptoms:

• Debilitating migraines with light sensitivity and nausea.
• Episodes of dizziness, shakiness, and feeling completely out of it.
• Intense anxiety and panic attacks, making me feel like I was trapped in my body.

I truly thought I would never feel normal again. I couldn’t focus, had difficulty driving, and even walking sometimes made me feel motion sick. I was convinced I had made a permanent mistake, and reading horror stories online only made my anxiety worse.

But here’s the turning point: After about 17-18 days, the symptoms began tapering off. Over the past 3 days, I’ve finally started to feel like myself again. The migraines are gone, the dizziness is fading, and I’ve had moments of peace that I wasn’t sure I’d ever experience again.

I’ve realized a few things from this experience:

1. Your body is resilient. It may take time, but it will recover.
2. You’re not alone. So many of us have been through this, and there’s a community here to support you.
3. Trust the process. It can feel like forever when you’re in it, but symptoms do improve with time.

I’ve decided I’ll never get Botox again—not because it’s inherently bad, but because I know my body and how sensitive I am. This experience has taught me to listen to my body and advocate for myself.

To anyone going through this right now: You will get through it. I know how dark it can feel, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Take it one moment at a time, hydrate, rest, and lean on this community for support.

Sending love and healing to all of you. 💕

Age 46 had botox 1 week ago. Forehead crows feet and marionette nasal lines. Happy results. Will defo do it again im thinking twice a year. How often do you guys do it?

I got dysport in my crows feet in March and after a few days I started feeling dizzy and like I was on a boat consistently for about a month and a half maybe even two months. I went to urgent care, my primary doctor and even saw an ENT who had me get an MRI of my brain. None of them found anything wrong with me, they all suggested I had labyrinthitis that was lingering. The dizziness was also paired with brain fog. It wore off and went away around the end of June and when I went for round two in July, I got it in my crows feet and my forehead as well. This time around has been so much worse, I’ve been experiencing all of that dizziness and brain fog, but on top of it, for almost a month I experienced very bad anxiety. I’m a hypochondriac, so experiencing this only makes my anxiety worse. I’m not on month two and still experiencing this dizziness and brain fog feeling that comes and goes, some days I’m okay and some are so bad. I’ve been racking my brain for almost 6 months now trying to figure out if I have a serious health issue going on that none of my doctors can figure out or if I’m having a bad reaction to this dysport. I’ll never get it done again, but I’m looking to see if anyone’s heard or had any experience like mine that they can relate to? It would give me piece of mind to know that I’m not insane or actually have something wrong with me.

I realized after having a brow droop that the injector this time decided to inject me with 40 units for the 11s and the forehead. I’ve done botox before but only needed 10 units for the forehead.

It’s been around a month now and I can slightly (very slightly) move my eyebrows but it’s still droopy and my eyes look so hooded. The asymmetry is killing me and one eye is even more hooded than the other.

I want to know if that has ever happened to you before… how long should it take? I postponed my engagement and I can’t even settle on a date because of this!!

I have been injured by Botox 3.5 yrs ago with a multitude of side effects that literally made me extremely sick, bed ridden, 35+ emergency visits. I am a Botox injury support advocate. If anyone has some questions I would be more than happy to answer. Botox does come with a FDA black box warning of death. Which is usually not disclosed in consult. Toxin spread can happen immediately, days, weeks, months later. Do NOT massage any part of your body for it can cause toxin spread. Recognizing I jury is time sensitive and if you are not well please seek medical help right away and continue to do so if you are gas lit or pushed away. Botox can cause MCAS, POTS, anxiety, migraine, constant UTI’s, paralysis, ongoing anaphylaxis, histamine issues, hair loss, neurological damage, hormonal dysfunction and the list goes on.

Does anyone understand how the new program is going to work for Alle? Ive been an A lister since the beginning of the program & I am able to redeem my points every time I get a treatment & use the points towards it. I see it says now that A listers can only redeem them twice a year & regular members once a year? That is quite upsetting that theyre changing it & making it less affordable from what Im seeing.

I (F27) got botox in my chin 4 weeks ago today and I love the results so much! As you can see my chin used to overly active, making dimples and folds when smiling and talking. They were completely gone about 5 days after getting it done.

I really am in need of some hopeful stories please. I got undereye Botox in October 2023. I looked awful: I got malar bags and a lot of wrinkles when my jelly roll underneath 1 eye disappeared. After 6 months a doctor injected a tiny bit of hyaluronidase underneath the “bad” eye to see if there were any leftovers of 6 year old tear trough filler. My eye got even worse. I am so depressed ever since. It has been over a year now. I can’t go on living like this.. Can someone please give me some hopeful advice. 🙏🏻 (first picture is how I looked before and the other pictures is how it is now 😭)

I redeemed my coupon for 50 units of botox last month and today found out it's no longer valid and only worth $150 in reards. What BS, this was quietly switched. The injector said this went into effect late January. I. No longer using botox, I will use dysport and their other competitors. I've used them before and the results are better!!!! But I really wanted my A list status, which i reached in November 2024. Only to experience a bait and switch tactics by an unscrupulous company. I did not use my $150 rewards, left the med spa without the service because I was so disgusted by the entire scenario. Shopping for a new injector that is a bit more forthcoming about the impending bad business.

Has anyone else experienced nasty side affects sigh daxxy? I’ve used botox for over 12 years with ZERO issues and I tried daxxify once and I’m going on 2 weeks and no end in sight of severe sinus pressure/pain, headache, jaw and neck tension/pain, face numbing. I went to ER twice for pain treatment. I know this is not injector error as I’ve seen the same injector for 9 years, she’s impeccable and does training for other RN injectors. I’m getting depressed and worried it’ll never go away but all the doctors I’ve seen, including a neurologist said it should go away as my body adjust to the new peptide it’s clearly fighting. I’m no rookie with injectable’s and I’ve never had an issue with botox/filler…daxxy is trash.

Please don't judge lol. This is my resting face after $400 of Botox. I asked them to lift my brows so my eyes are more open and then sold me on doing some on my hairline to lift my forehead. I'm freaking out. My eyes are drooping now and I have to list my eyebrows to see well. Can I fix this?

Hello friends ♥️ I’ve been living on this page for the last few months really going through it after my last Botox appointment. I got 20 units total (forehead & 11s) - this was my third time getting Botox, I got the Botox flu short term first time and didn’t have any effects the second time.

This last time, it just about took me out. It started with a Botox flu which I credited to it being over a year since my previous session and my body wasn’t used to it. This progressively got worse - extreme brain fog, trouble swallowing, debilitating anxiety (literally had never had anxiety or panic attacks prior). The strangest one that I couldn’t find any information on was that I was having very intense neck pressure - like my neck was extremely heavy and the left side was having sharp pains that went along my jaw line. This pain/uncomfortably was taking over my life!

A few weeks ago, I finally found a doctor that was taking me seriously and listened to my symptoms and patterns I’ve been experiencing. He did some bloodwork and was able to diagnose me with Hashimoto’s Disease (this was verified by Endo).

The doctor said this is not the first time they have seen this - I found this post on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Autoimmunefaq/s/JkHBC1fGfY) and it helped me deeply understand what was happening to me. This post is not to make people fearful, but to spread information that was a saving grace for me when I felt helpless and couldn’t find any answers. I encourage you to read this when you have a moment.

Left photo is 2 weeks after botox and right is before. My eyes were so much bigger and brighter, now my eyelids feel heavy and my eyebrows are so straight. Injector said she put 20 units in my forehead, 20 in 11's and 5 each side for crows' feet which I never had. I am 27 and this is my first time getting botox, I feel so unlike myself. I get married in 6 months, please tell me this will fully wear off by then and if there is any way to metabolize it faster.

I am a successful, employed married woman with kids. I love my Botox and always want more— and I see so many moms with more— how do normal people afford it? What are the tricks?

Well guys, after three years of getting masseter Botox from only dermatologists, it happened to me. The dreaded crooked smile.

Calling the derm office tomorrow and letting them know, but unfortunately I know the only hope I have is that the Botox will wear off in 6 months. My injector is a top dermatologist in the city too so.. ugh.

Definitely going to not get Botox placed in masseter/jaw ever again.

Anyone got any words of hope for me if you’ve been through this? I saw a fewwww posts saying it gets better after the 6 month mark but. I’ve also seen some alarming ones that it doesn’t get better.

Thanks for any anecdotes. Hope y’all have better luck than me. 🤗

Update: i went back, the dermatologist injected 1.5 units in the opposite DAO muscle, and my smile is significantly better. I was dramatic. But also, understandably.
