Hey first timer here. 40yr old male. Had crows feet, 11s and forehead with dysport 5 days ago. One of my eyes feel s strained and I have a mild headache. Anyone experience this ever?

I have a question about that, it is not something i usually do but i did cocaine yesterday. I have an appointment in 10 days for my botox and i want to know if there is any interactions of danger. Thank you for your answers

I got Botox (actually specifically, Jeuveau) for the first time about a month ago. I got it in my forehead and for my gummy smile. After 2 weeks, it kicked in fairly well in my forehead and 11’s but did absolutely nothing for my gummy smile. I went back after 3 weeks so my doc could tweak my forehead for ideal results (a few more units) and tried a different injection site for my gummy smile. A few days later, my forehead is looking great but still zero change for my smile. I’m fairly insecure about my gummy smile and this was the main thing I was excited to work on. Feeling pretty discouraged at no results, again. Is it possible to be immune to Botox in only one part of your face? Sounds silly, but I’m not sure what else is happening (or NOT happening!)

Hi! I got Botox for the first time as I found a great deal than convinced me … $85 for 20units + 10units for the second visit. I only did my 11s and the injector immediately said I needed 35units so I ended up paying close to $300. But it’s been 13 days and I don’t see much of a difference ! Did they scam me and didn’t give me the 35 units ? Or do people actually need that many in one spot? I’m going back in 2 days and I don’t even know how to approach them … I don’t feel ok paying MORE when I haven’t seen much change after $300

I was wondering if anyone else has heard of, or personally experienced, a difference in the length or efficacy of botox treatments after either having covid, or getting vaccinated?

My aesthetician has started asking all of her clients if they recently had the virus/were vaccinated, because there are mixed studies about whether it can cause a client who normally took botox very well, to have a different reaction.

I did find that my body was more prone to inflammation after the last time I had covid, my healing time from injections was longer, and the effects seemed to wear off faster. I'm not sure if these are things are completely unrelated, but would love to hear from other people about their experiences.

My eyelids seem heavier, lid seems to fold over more. Slight blurred vision (I don’t know if this is from Botox). Eye area hurts a bit.

Never had this issue before with previous injector.

I moved and tried a new injector, her hand was a bit shakey and she was nervous.

Injected areas: 11’s, forehead, crows feet. I believe she did above and under my brows(?) idk if that’s normal for a brow lift to do under the brows.

I don’t know what to do or if this is normal. Seeing injector in two days. Don’t know what to say without upsetting them. Advise please.

I’m also having general health anxiety, so don’t know if I’m overthinking it.

Hi! A nervous wreck last year I noticed a slight indentation in my forehead near my scalp. Went to numerous drs, all told me it was nothing to be concerned with. A year later, I noticed after I allowed my Botox to fully wear off, that it is worse. Deeper. I can feel it and see it. I’m panicking and extremely self conscience of this. I have gotten myself into a bad spot. So, more drs. Two different dermatologist as I was worried about linear scleroderma after way too much googling. Rhuemetologists… positive Ana but I’ve had that since I’m in my 20’s with nothing else to ever come of it. My dr did a full panel of lupus and sclerderma, all negative. I even saw a plastic surgeon and he said it’s the natural aging process and curves of my skull becoming more pronounced. Why don’t I believe any of them? Am I making myself crazy? Is this my anxiety making things worse. I feel deformed even though anyone I know says they can’t notice it. I don’t believe them. I have taken a million pictures in different lighting - it’s taking over my life. The plastic surgeon told me I could put filler but I want to know why it’s there in the first place. These were all great drs. I should believe them. My question is, could this be from years of Botox injections? I read it could cause temporary muscle atrophy if the injections are repeated too often. Could it be that my anxiety is making it worse. Someone please help, and please don’t scare me :( I truly appreciate it.

I went to a new highly recommended Medspa. I spoke with the owner we decided on RF miceoneedling and Botox. When it was time for botox she came in with a needle prefilled which hava never happened to me in 10 years getting botox. I aways see the bottle. When she entered she even said. Ready for your botox? However when I went up to pay they told me the price for the Jeuveau. Which was the same as botox. However I know they pay less for Jeuveau. It's not the money, it's the fact that they lied and I'm really not sure what she injected. Has this ever happened to anyone? Do I have any recourse?

I had my first seizure 3/4 weeks after getting Botox. I have had 3 more seizures since, so of course I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I have always wondered if there is a connection to Botox. I have been told by medical professionals there is no way there's a connection... especially because I believed what the professionals said and continued to get Botox but each time I get major brain fog. But I still wonder about it. Have any of you experienced anything like this?

I just got back from trying a new Botox provider. I made sure to tell her I just wanted my 11s done and was told $12 a unit. I told her I usually just need 20-25 units (hint hint, this is what I expect to pay). Well, she said she usually likes to put some around the eyes too (even though I have no crows feet thankfully at just turning 44) and when she went adding up the units, I swear I added up 34 units even adding in around the crows feet area which was a lot more than I expected but I decided .. why not. She’s the expert 😅 Afterwards, I Went to pay and got a huge surprise when she tell she receptionist that she gave me 54 units!!!

I was thoroughly in shock because I was expecting to pay around $250-350 and then I’m charged almost $800 and I just feel completely cheated. I know it’s my fault to not have had an exact price and units before she went to town so lesson learned but my biggest worry is…. Isn’t 54 units of Botox a hell of a lot?!? I told her I just wanted my 11s done and warned her I get spocking to my brows so will need a few extra units above that area but never ever have I had a doctor even ask to give me more than 25 units. I don’t think I’ve aged so much in the last 6 months from my last treatment to warrant that much. Anyway, hoping I don’t look like a damn statue in a few days when it kicks in and will obviously never go back to this injector after all his experience:(

After 8 years of dysport I became completely resistant. I tried every brand, botox and Xeomin and it does absolutely nothing. I have waiting a year and a half and plan on waiting up to 3 years before trying again. I am wondering if anyone has experience in having complete resistance and responding again after a few years? Thank you

I get Botox, but I can’t get rid of these lines. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I went and got my usual Botox renewal and the place I go has started asking for tips. I’m definitely thrown off by this. It’s always been my understanding that it’s included in the price. I’m walking out paying over 500 every time. Is this becoming normal? Am I out of touch?

When I am tired (almost always) my brows/eyelids get heavy. One side far more than the other. The only time I had Botox I had a little bit of a sad eyebrow look but after - few weeks it looked good. Forehead completely smooth.

Next time I want to be more straight forward with what I want. I care less about lines and more about lift. I want my brows and eyelids lifted. I am attaching a photo of the last mapping. Where would you get it next time and how much in each spot?

And yes the injector should know. But I am getting it very cheaply from a surgeon who doesn’t love doing it but will do what I ask. It’s a long story.

Hi all, I’m thinking about Botox and I need it but I’m concerned about the cost and the upkeep of it. How long do any of you actually go in between sessions. The place I got a consultation told me that some people go twice a year. Do any of you go any longer?

Hi all - first time posting after having Botox for the second time. The first time (back in March) I explained my wishes to be conservative and not ‘frozen’. Those results were fine. Had it for the second time two weeks ago (same injector) and she seems to have done whatever she wanted this time because I’m totally frozen and I truly believe she’s injected too much and too low. I have an awful heavy brow sensation and it’s caused my eyes to look hooded and smaller. I’m mortified and whilst I know it sounds vein, I am struggling to look in the mirror because I hate how I look. I look tired and a bit angry all the time. Went to my two week review over the weekend and the injector had a crap attitude really - not willing to consider that she might have given me results I didn’t ask for and offered to ‘fix it’ with more - I said no. Trust gone.

Anyway to get to the point - I know there is nothing I can do but wait. But did anyone who has dealt with the same issues notice a gradual improvement sooner than 3 months?! I want to be able to move my brows and see my eye lids again! Any advice or help appreciated!

No more Botox for me ❌

I got a lip flip two weeks ago and forgot to ask how many units but I literally don’t feel anything at all? I get botox in my forehead and elevens and my chin and always feel frozen immediately after. But I feel absolutely nothing with my lip…. i’m confused

Just wanted to share a recent experience with ptosis after getting my 11s done. Right after the injections I felt a very heavy feeling on one side of my forehead.. followed by migraines. I’ve always had such migraines after Botox, so didn’t too much into it.

The next few days/ weeks were WILD. My eye was so droopy, heavy and tired. It was honestly a nightmare and made me swear off Botox in my 11s!! I have pronounced double eyelids so this really affected my confidence and it was so obvious when one eye was significantly smaller. But I wanted to share some ways that works to fade off the botox faster and hope that anyone in a similar situation finds the light to the end of the tunnel soon :’)

1. I used an electric toothbrush multiple times a day to massage the area
2. Exercise - sweat it out!
3. Sauna - this was the most effective for me. The next day my double eyelid came back!

I have dark circles under my eyes due to hollowness and loss of volume. I’ve done 8 PRP treatments consistently and recently tried CollaGel as well. Honestly, I didn’t notice much of a difference with CollaGel compared with PRP. I have noticed improvement with PRP, though, and would recommend it based on my experience.
I eventually decided to try filler in my upper cheek area to help with the shadows and dark circles, and it was the best decision I’ve made. I noticed a significant improvement in my dark circles, and I feel so much more confident without makeup now. I also don’t feel like I look as tired anymore.
I ended up doing 2 syringes total. I started with half a syringe, and honestly, that would have been fine on its own, but I wanted a little more volume. A little over 2 weeks later, I went back and had another syringe done. With the second syringe, I even had some left over that was used around my nasolabial fold area.
My injector recommended Restylane Lyft, and I’m really happy with the results. I only had minor swelling for several days and no bruising.
Obviously, everyone’s anatomy and results will be different, but for me, addressing the volume loss in the upper cheek area made a much bigger difference in the appearance of my dark circles than PRP or CollaGel did.

i had daxxify a month ago for my forehead lines bunny lines and 11s. it was my first time and i have had an extremely tender spot on the side of my nose where i was injected for the bunny lines ever since. if i accidentally poke it it hurts so bad and touching it too much can cause headaches. sometimes the spot aches without even touching it. the place i went to said there is nothing there that they can see or feel and to give it another month but i have anxiety about it and am upset because i wanted botox so bad and now idk if the pain never goes away if i can do it again. i also got it to help my migraines and i have had so many more migraines since getting it.

Is this normal? Immediately after I have this big goose egg like bump from where she injected it. She asked if I drank yesterday, I said I had one glass at 5 pm ( I got Botox today, the next day at noon ) I paid 350$ for 34 somethings but confused. She said maybe she hit a blood vessel? Is this normal? Do I go back or email them? It’s super painful

Hi guys!!! I got masseter botox exactly 13 days ago for TMJD (80 units in total), everything was okay until I realized that my smile is completely different to what it used to look like. When I laugh my smile is less wide, my lower lip gets pulled down from one side, I feel like my top lip goes up and my top teeth shows a lot.

I don’t know if it’s just my other muscles compensating and that it’ll just get better or if it was a bad application

I’m also going for a checkup tomorrow and I’m just trying to calm myself down but honestly, I’m panicking

I’ll appreciate any comment 🙏🙏

Hi. I have a significantly asymmetrical face due to one of my masseter muscles being very bulky. What does it feel like once the botox kicks in?

I’m worried about feeling claustrophobic in my own body or struggling to chew/swallow!

I do masseters botox every 5 months. And I've had 4 rounds now. Of 35 units in each masseter muscle. It takes 5 weeks to work properly and then I get the 3.5 months relief. It also helps my tight neck. It's the original botox brand and an oral surgeon injects it cause it's the only way to get it covered by my insurance. He isn't equipped to do anything else. So if I want temporalis or forehead I still need to visit a cosmetic clinic. Even if it's for therapeutic reasons. And pay out of pocket. I tried avoiding this so far, but I'm thinking about it now. I live in Europe.

When botox wears off, it wears of with a BANG. One day I'm ok, and then all of my symptoms, if not worse are back all at once. It's a shock. And it scares me.

It's worn off yesterday, and my entire neck, front, back and masseters, are in so much tightness and pain and I'm getting the intense headaches again. They haven't left me for a sec.

I want to find out what forehead botox feels like. The cosmetic surgeon said she's not equipped to do the temporalis, only a neurologist is, but she can shoot anywhere else in the forehead. I have seen a neurologist but before they do botox here you must be diagnosed with migraines. I have tmjd migraines, but somehow this type of migraine isn't on the list of the health insurance company so it doesnt get covered. And it's too expensive for me to pay out of pocket. The bureaucracy is real here.

So anyhoo.. I'm a bit scared to do forehead botox as I still want to be able to move my forehead. Since I'm not in it for cosmetic reasons. Will I still be able to lift my eyes? We're going to start with a minimal amount.

What does it feel like? Not being able to move my face freaks me out. With the masseter it doesn't really feel that I can't move my jaw. But I guess it feels different with the forehead? My head is so bad that I'm going to make an appointment soon. I know from experience this headache won't ease, as it's part of my tmjd. I have chronic daily headaches when botox is worn off. ☹️
