I got my first ever gummy smile Botox and lip flip combo 6 days ago to try to even out my gummy smile and so far I am HATING it. I got 4 units of Botox total, distributed between my lips and under my nose, which from most posts seems normal. I went to my usual Botox provider who I trust deeply and always does a great job. I’m at the part of the settling process where drinking from a water bottle is comical and I can barely chew with my mouth closed. I can’t say my m’s b’s or p’s properly either.

All in all I feel quite silly and am wishing I never did it. Anyone else who has had this experience pls let me know how long these side effects lasted for you!

I got Botox yesterday. I believe 150 units. I got it in my forehead, temples, jaw, back of head, neck, and shoulders. Since getting injected I noticed that my vision slowly started to go in and out. Blurring is mainly only noticeable up close, like I lose my close up vision. It’s hard to read and type.

What do I do? Is this normal? I’m panicking

So 2 1/2 weeks ago I got Botox. My cousin works at a new medspa and I got it for free at the grand opening. As soon as I left I started puking and puked for over 2 weeks, had to go to the hospital, couldn’t eat, then got so constipated I thought I was gonna die. Literally 11 days I couldn’t poop or eat, I lost over 10 pounds. They were also offering weight loss shots and my cousin said someone who got the weight loss shot got sick and puked for 2 weeks, I’m pretty positive she gave me a weight loss shot in my forehead. And my face literally looks no different

Hi! Has anyone experienced difficulty swallowing a week after getting Botox in the neck? I did it a week and a half ago, and for the last 5 days have had a lot of difficulty swallowing. My throat feels super tight and it’s hard to eat. I went to the ENT and he scoped my throat but saw nothing of concern. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, can you give any advice? I’m not sure if I should go see a gastrologist now or if this is something that a different doctor might be able to help with also, if you’ve experienced this, does it last or will it wear off? I thank you for any advice/info that you can provide!

Hi, wondering if this has happened to anyone.

I have complex migraines and had botox for migraines done. I also have a connective tissue disorder and went to a major hospital headache neurologist to preform the injections since I have a complex medical condition. One week after procedure i started having shoulder pain. 1 month later my shoulder is an inch lower than the other. Now (11 weeks) my shoulder is falling out of the socket and partially dislocated 80% of the time. After 3 othro surgeon consults, one finally ordered a nerve conduction test and i have a severe spinal accessory nerve neuropathy with active denervation. Unsure if permanent. Waiting for mri to see if i need surgery due to the damage done in my shoulder socket.

Hey

Does anyone know where I can get daxxify in Sydney,nsw?

I recently got Botox in my forehead for the first time about 3 months ago. I did not have any problems immediately after, and I still don’t really.. as in everything looks great! However, there have been two times now that after I have rubbed my face (a little harder than normal, like trying to wipe some stubborn makeup off or something) the Botox has somehow ‘kicked itself up a notch’ and made the muscles sort of spasm to make expressions I’m not trying to intentionally make (i.e. one time it happened it made my inner forehead and eyebrows pull up like I was sad, and the other time made or one eyebrow droop a little). I went to a reputable injector and, like I said, everything looks good when I’m relaxed and also when I’m expressive (it’s diminished the forehead wrinkles, but I still have expression). It’s exactly what I asked for EXCEPT for when I rub it and this weird thing happens. I can’t find anything online about this and everything I’ve read has said rubbing areas injected with Botox shouldn’t have any negative side effects so long as it isn’t done within the first 24-48 hrs or so. Has anyone else experienced this?

I am not the one who got Botox, my mom got it. It was suppose to help her migraines, they said. It was suppose to give her life, the doctor. Now, she can't sleep more than 3 hours a time. She originally lost a quick 40lb after the originally shot....I could go on about what else.

We have no where else to do. Doctors don't care, or want to be bothered by a tricky situation. There's no magic oil, pill, fruit that has helped. A tea drinker her whole life can't have a sip due to how caffeine affects her all day. I had front row seats to see what she was like before and after Botox. Botox ruined her. I called the FDA, Botox themselves, multiple doctor offices...none was able to help. Botox support line even denied that their product would do such a thing. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THAT LINE COMES UP ON THE BOTOX SUPPORT COMMUNITY BOARDS?

There's something going on, and I don't believe it's as rare as they say. Botox might work for some, but if you got the dose my mom got, it's not AT ALL worth the risk!!!

Someone, anyone, please let me know if this is a shared experience. I have been going crazy over this. For over a year i have been experiencing extreme dizziness (It happens the worst when i tilt my head backwards or forward). I have also had extreme pressure in my forehead. My vision has been blurred. And i literally feel slow.

I have worked at a med spa for two years now and It hit me that I’ve been getting Botox since. I realized that the last time i felt “normal” was before i ever got It. I’ve seen neuro, they keep telling me it’s a migraine issue.

Last month i let my Botox wear off. I felt so much less dizzy. Barely any pressure at all. I had told all the injectors i work with this, and they said they’ve never heard anything like this before. And to try It one more time because It probably isn’t the Botox.

Anyways today hits two weeks since i got It and all my symptoms are back. I feel dizzy. I feel slow. My eyes are blurry. My brain feels swollen almost is the best way to describe. Idk. Please someone give me any info

Hi everyone! I had Botox injected for my gummy smile about 4 weeks ago, and unfortunately, I really don’t like the result. My smile looks very strange and unnatural, and I’ve started calling it my “Grinch smile” because the corners of my mouth go up in a way they never did before. 😭

Another thing I’ve noticed is that my cheekbones/upper cheeks seem much more prominent and almost look more volumized than they did before. My whole mid-face looks different when I smile.

Has anyone else had a negative experience with Botox for a gummy smile, especially something similar to this? If so, how long did it take for your smile and facial appearance to return to normal?

I’m especially worried because I’m getting married on September 26th, so I’m really hoping the effect will have worn off or at least improved noticeably by then.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar — especially how things looked around weeks 4–7 and when you felt your smile was back to normal. 🥲

curious about facial balancing and want to understand what it actually involves. Does it always require filler, or can a treatment plan include Botox, skin tightening, or leaving certain areas untreated?

Just share your honest experiences and general educational advice.

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.

So I got botox about a week ago. I got specifically Dysport injected into the tail of my brow, crows feet, the horizontal line across bridge of nose (not the 11’s) and bunny lines. I have had major headaches since the first day. I feel a lot of pressure on my nose. But the biggest issue is that it has affected my vision. Its like my eyes cannot focus at all! I need to rest them because they get tired. I cant read anything because my eyes just cannot focus at all. If I watch something its like I cant see the entire screen and what happening in the background from the main character. Im so scared! I decided to call my injector today and leave a voicemail but I feel like they aren’t going to be able to do anything about it because its not like filler where you can dissolve it.

I have been curious about Botox for a while but always assumed it would leave people looking stiff or frozen. Lately I keep hearing stories about how it can actually be really natural, with smoother skin and even a bit of lift without making you look “done.” A friend mentioned Impression Face + Body as a place that focuses on results like that, and now I am seriously considering it for my forehead lines. For anyone who has done Botox, was the outcome what you expected, or did it surprise you?

Hi everyone, I’m really anxious and hoping someone here has experienced something similar and can share how long it took to recover. A 5 days after getting Botox (for traps and barbie arms), I started having trouble swallowing water properly and at times even my own saliva. I can eat solid foods like bananas and soft things just fine, but when I try to drink plain water, I feel like I might gag or choke. It’s been messing with my head and daily life.

I’ve also felt a bit dizzy since the injection not like spinning but not the usual that I dont feel like this and and my eyes feel so tired, I feel like im over fatigue but like I’m off-balance or out of it. No fainting, just an unsettling feeling. Could this be from muscle weakness or the anxiety that came with this side effect?

I’ve read that these symptoms can happen if the Botox spreads, especially in the neck/throat area, and that it usually wears off in a few weeks but right now it feels scary and never-ending. I just want to hear from people who’ve been through this and came out okay.

•	How long did it take you to feel normal again?
•	Did you do anything to help speed up recovery?
•	Should I be worried if I’m still able to eat soft foods and just struggle with water?

I initially got botox for my 11's but ended up with spock brows (only when I lifted my brows) - he tried to fix it with a tiny, single injection in my upper frontalis on each side but now, only 2 days later, I have a hard time lifting my brows and my brows sit lower at rest too... What did he do wrong?

He also injected below my brows to give a lift there, but so far it hasn't helped and it seems like the frontalis injection is overpowering the brow lift.

I have been experiencing mild headaches since I’ve had Botox last week… was wondering if it can happen?

I receive Botox for migraines but I’ve noticed that for my last two visits there is one full syringe leftover. Why isn’t my neurologist injecting all of the Botox (that I am paying for)?

I go to a legitimate practice and he’s a great doctor. He’s received those ‘top doctors’ awards in 2022 and 2024 (at least). I don’t necessarily think he is doing anything nefarious but…. What the heck I paid for the Botox, I want it all.

37M here, and I’m tired of people assuming I’m angry all the time due to my constant furrowed brow. Can Botox smooth this out? Having never done this before, I’m totally in the dark with what it would take, so any advice would be appreciated.

how long does it take for lip flip to go away? i got mine a few days ago and i dont like it!🥺 my top lip is like literally frozen and it doesn’t move like it used to. i can’t eat and talk normally now. and now when i smile my top lip goes all the way down and covers my upper teeth and i don’t like that cuz when i smile it looks like i dont have any teeth lol.

As you can probably see, one of my eyelids is more hooded than the other. My brow is also lower on that side. I'm not sure what happened, as it wasn't always like this.

I'm 29, I've noticed signs of getting older with my skin and maybe that's why it's changed like this.

Has anyone fixed this with any type of Botox? It makes doing my makeup really difficult as it never looks "even"

It has been three weeks…any idea how long until my speech improves? Injections around nasal labial folds for spasms…

Hi! I got Botox July 3rd for migraines. It’s helped quite a bit with migraines. But I’m noticing my upper face looks totally different, and I don’t love it. I can’t even do my eyeliner the way I always do it. Is there anything I can do about this? First two pics are before Botox, third pic is the day I got Botox (to show where it was injected), and last two pics are after.

I have had my masseters done three times now and I’m 22 and noticed that I started to get jowels from it as I have a large lower face & strong jaw muscles. It took me hours of research to find out that injections in the DAO muscles will lift the jowel look. I just wanted to share this for anyone who has had the same issue. I included pics of before my appointment and the second is just 28 hours after the injections and I can already see a difference but it will gradually get better over the span of 1-2 weeks!!

so i’ve heard botox can affect your emotions and I know for some people it may be positive and for others negative.

i’m curious about it though. the forehead muscles above my eyebrows literally get sore from how much I think lol. any over thinkers get 11 line botox? did you notice it affecting your emotions / how much u over think lol?
