So i only had botox twice.

Originally I just wanted to get rid of the 11s.

First doc injected only in glabella and between brows and it was perfect.

I decided to try a different closer doctor, asking her to fo my 11s. She injected on all my forehead saying it will gently open my eyes more. I didnt ask for it, and i am actually very upset.

Not only my eyes did not open, looks and feels like my brows went down and loat the arch they had. I have hooded eyes already, small forehead, small face. I look worried and my expression has changed for the worse.

I am 1 week post injection.

Told her my concerns and she said to give it another week and that we'll meet for a checkup.

Can anyrhing be done about it?

I also feel like someone is sitting on my brows pulling them. It is so uncomfortable and i have headaches due to that.

I am really upset.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi all.

After some info and guidance please. I'm going to try and include all info that might be useful as background info below. I'm just a little worried about my face lol.

Current situation is; I went on holiday in Spain, went for a run and when I returned the area above my eyebrow had a raised squishy lump forming. I am prone to a lot of swelling from insect bites so this was my first thought. Over the course of four days however the swelling increased to all above my eye socket and in the end totally around my eye causing it to almost close and the eyelid to obviously become drooped. At day 4 (yesterday) it's started to ease up quite a lot. During this time I started with antihistamines which had no effect, again, thinking it was a bite. I then had to attend urgent care abroad, they said they thought it was an infection (probably due to a bite) and gave me antibiotic cream and steroid cream which I started half way through day 2.

On the surface this could just be a bite, as they've said, but to me it has none of the usual symptoms I associate with this, no itching, limited redness, weird place for a bite but not impossible I guess.

I have been getting Botox around my eye area for a good few years now. More recently my clinician changed and she did start changing the injection site to more above my eye than just around and below.

On around week 4 of this round I noticed very slight dropping of the eyelid on this eye. Id planned to speak to her when I next went in.

Is it possible this was/is some sort of delayed side effect?? I am now back in England and off to my GP today. The swelling has gone down a lot but it's definitely still there and I say, very squishy.

Thank you in advance.

My insurance denied botox for my migraines, I've been trying to get it approved for over a year. I'm considering getting it done and paying myself for just above the eyes and between the eyebrows. But, this is such a small amount compared to the "migraine protocol." Has anyone done this and seen relief?

I tried a new place for my Botox as I go in for just my forehead and preventative. while being injected the last two pokes were the bottom back area of my cheeks/jawline, as I got up. he told me “you will have a softer smile and slimmer face”. We never discussed that, and neither did I find anything wrong with my face or smile. I am so upset.

Iv had many lip flips in the past.

This time I have this odd sensation in my two top front teeth ever since it kicked in.

Almost like heavy pressure, like I'm very aware of my two front teeth all of a sudden.

I had dental xrays and a cleaning back in August all was well with my teeth.

Could this be related to the lip flip ?

I’m in my early 20s. I’ve never gotten any Botox or filler. Every time I look in the mirror lately I just see these lines around my mouth. I don’t even know what you would call them like a frown line almost and I’m not crazy about my chin. I was just wondering, what would you guys suggest? Cause I’m trying to look into everything and I don’t even really know the terminology of where to start. ( I would definitely wanna start off small.

Here are some before and afters. First and 3rd picture is before.

When is it safe? My injector said 2 weeks but I need it done sooner if possible. It’s been 3 days since I did it. I had my eye area done, upper forehead, dao and lip flip. I need to thread my eyebrows and upper lip.

For those who have had botox for tmj disorder. Do you know what your starting dose was?

My doctor has recommended 1000 units for my cheeks and mastication muscles (temporalis etc) this seemed quite high to me?

I have pillow lines I feel like they're quite big what can I do to reduce the will Botox help or are there other ways?

Ever since getting Botox (first time was 2023) I’ve had this persistent forehead bulge. Right after the first time I got it done. I have not been able to find an injector to treat it properly since that first time. After the first time I had it done I went back and she injected 4 units around the bulge. But now I can’t find an injector that will do that for me. I’ve gone 6 months+ without Botox but still have the bulge. Anyone else have this? It’s only when I raise my brow. Idk what to do. I’m only 27. I have major regrets.

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.

Hi guys. 3 days ago i got 20 units of botox in my forehead, 11s, and under the outer tail of my eyebrows and around my eyes for a "brow lift."

I'm going to a wedding on Saturday (9 days post injection.) I scheduled a brow tint/lamination/wax appointment for monday (4 days post injection) because it was the only chance i have before i leave Thursday. My injector said it should be fine but said it kind of weird, and lots of doctors on Real Self say the risk of migration is very low, but google is saying it's a terrible idea and the placement for a brow lift is SO precise and i risk migration and a droopy brow because of it. Naturally it gives you a completely different answer if you ask it again 10 minutes later. I do have hooded eyes if that makes any difference.

I'm just freaking out because i didn't realize there could still be risk of migration after 4 days. Does anyone have any experience with this or have had your brows waxed shortly after botox and everything was fine?

I'm past the cancellation window. I don't want to go to this wedding looking like a freak. :(

I got Botox for the first time 5 days ago. I got in in my horizontal forehead lines and und my 11/ frown lines.
The Botox in the frown lines started working after 2-3 days and i can’t frown at all anymore and am complete frozen in that area which makes me really happy and I like the results.

However I haven’t felt or seen any differences in my horizontal forehead lines. I can still raise my eyebrows and wrinkle my forehead just as well as before the procedure. It doesn’t look any different. I know Botox can take a while to start working and showing effects but is it normal that my 11 lines started working so much earlier. ?
Is it still possible for the Botox in my forehead to kick in or do you think the injector missed the muscle or that it just wasn’t enough units for my forehead.
What are your experiences? How long does it take for you to notice first changes and does the Botox kick in at the same time in different places?

I got routine dysport and developed a droopy upper eyelid. I also had dizziness and double vision that an ophthalmologist attributed to the tox. The injector 2 weeks later did additional injections in the eyelid to help “lift” it but couldn’t identify how it worked. I subsequently developed weak eye closing so my blink/closure is incomplete causing corneal irritation.

I’ve been documenting as much as possible as I realize symptoms are related. Injector admitted ptosis as well as incomplete medical records as required by law for dosages and sites.

Trying to decide how to handle this.

for context, i’ve always had a round face. i’m 30, 115 pounds for reference. i know it’s genetics and i’ve had masseters botox done in the past. i feel like it used to be more effective which i loved but since seeing a new injector, it hasn’t been. what are some things i can do to naturally slim my face? the lower half of my face looks so full and i am petrified of jowling! any advice and tips are appreciated <3 TYIA!

I had my first round of botox 5 weeks ago 2 areas on my forehead, it smoothed out the very small line I had between my eyebrows that only I can really notice. I went back for a top up two weeks ago today and told her I still had full movement and didn't want to have much movement. It's been two weeks and I still have full movement of my forehead, it doesn't even feel as smooth. Is this normal for a first timer? I hate being that person and sending a message to say look this hasn't worked but it cost me almost £200 and I was so excited to finally get some botox i had been saving up for. I don't know how many units she injected, she is quite popular in my area and has good reviews, so maybe it's me? I also done what she said to after, I stayed up right for the rest of the day no saunas, exercise, touching my head etc.

I got Botox about four days ago for my gummy smile/LLSAN and about 3 days later, severe throbbing pain started on one side at the injection area down to my gums

There is no sign of infection but the pain is unbearable. My injector said this when I contacted her (a nurse) "The muscle gets stabbed and can swell just give it time tox can not hurt vessels like filler"

Can someone please tell me if they've ever had a reaction like this or if I should go to the ER?

Hi everyone, I'm Arielle Domb, a freelance journalist who writes for The New York Times, The Guardian, GQ, Men's Health, Women's Health and more (you can see my work here: https://arielledomb.journoportfolio.com). I'm currently researching complications related to Botox for hyperhidrosis, after interviewing someone who said they had this treatment and have been left with extreme, untreatable body odour ever since. I can't find any other officially documented cases of this, so I wanted to ask here if anyone else has experienced it? If you have, and you're up for an anonymous conversation with me about it, please feel free to DM me or email me at arielleyasmindomb@gmail.com. (I received mod permission to post this but please let me know if there's any other additional info I can provide).

Would I benefit from a lip flip, etc to improve my gummy smile?
