Yikes! That doesn't sound good at all. I hope it settles down for you. I have never had any problems.

I get Botox but I get it for migraine treatment but it is still injected in all the same places one would get for their eyes, forehead, etc. I am seeing a different doctor this month for my next treatment and I hope nothing goes wrong.

Guilty pleasure.. I usually explain to people to wait the first 10-14 days after a treatment to really see the final results. Sometimes the Botox seems really strong in that first week while it is adjusting to your system. That is why they have the followup in 2 weeks. I will bet by the end of next week you will feel better and your side effects will be much better and even gone.
And definitely take advantage of the touch-up...that is one thing you pay for

OMG...I hope you're right. I was telling my friend today that I didn't even want to go to the followup. Maybe I will go if everything calms down. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at least those wrinkles under my eyes go away...they're hideous.

It's great to hear that all of you have had positive results with Botox. I'm turning 35 this month, and although I don't have crows feet, I do have fine lines in the inner corner of my eyes. Would Botox help with these lines or would I probably have to use a filler?

Hi,
I have been getting botox since April 2001 about 3 - 4 times per year and I can't live without it. I think I look younger and not plasticized or anything. I pay about 550 in NJ and I finally found a doctor who doesn't hurt!

What do you mean by inner corner of eyes? Like eyelids? Or more up on your bridge of nose to eyebrows?

Just to clarify, I mean I have fine lines underneath my eyes more near the inner corner area as opposed to the outer edge "crows feet". The area underneath my eyes has gotten thinner and fine lines have started to develop. I'm not sure if a plastic surgeon would have to inject fillers but it's so close to the eye that I'm not sure if botox would fix it.

I have had filler (restylane) near inner corner and it helped a lot. Very pricey stuff though. I also had it in the laugh lines and it helped a lot there but doesn't last very long, maybe 3 or 4 months?

I didn't think you could put filler(collagen) on the lower eyelid, because it is so thin there. I think you have to have your own fat injected there or have a bleph done...

I've been getting Botox since it was approved by the FDA. I used to have injections every 6 months, but now once a year is enough. Maybe I'm not frowning as much as I used to, I'm very happy with the results. No one would ever know.....my forhead is NOT frozen, and my DH says I look years younger. That's good enough for me!!!

Getting the nonfrozen look is having someone do it that knows how your muscles in your face work. A person who knows how to give shots only would not have that education or knowledge. Go to a licensed doctor only for botox & fillers.

Hey everyone...
I am very interested in getting Botox since I have horrible wrinkles on my forehead. However, I am 28 years old. Is this too young to start? Should I do it now or wait til I hit my 30s? I have no idea.

I just got mine done at 25, 6 days ago and honestly, I am as happy as one can get. I look stunning ! I also can't believe how cost beneficial it is also, I have spent waaay more in the past year on wrinkle creams trying to get rid of fine lines.

I seriously look like I have a face of a 21 year old.
