This just happened to me - 1st time, day 5 and it takes all my energy to keep my eyes wide open now. You'd have to really look at me to see the eybrow skin resting on my eye lid. But it hurts, my eyeballs feel the pressure. And I stopped wearing mascara or any eye makeup to work as it just smudges up and down.

But the headache and eye dryness and pain is constant. I'm almost at the 2 week mark but not sure what a dermatologist can do at this point. Help!

This happened and our injector refunded it because he made a mistake and went to low

I prefer my before the Botox face. I am so disappointed, I know it works great for many. I am 41 and never had a Botox before.

This happened to me and I had more injected and it made it better. Go back and see what they recommend.

That's insane! I pay $280 for 22 units and my injector is very skilled. That said, even "the best" injectors have mistakes. It happens to all of them.

What was the consult like before they started injecting? What kinds of questions did they ask? What kinds of faces did they ask you to make? How long did they wait to inject?
Why do you think they are "the best?"
What is their suggestion to fix it? Most reputable injectors will make you wait two weeks.

It makes me so self-conscious. Will it wear off with time.

They used 35 units to treat me forehead and 11s.

I can appreciate that you are having regrets about the purchase, but I don’t think claiming that a doctor over injected you is a fair complaint. 35 units is not a heavy hand. Sometimes these items crop up, even among very trained “reputable” injectors. I go a board certified derm, but that doesn’t negate that sometimes the botox doesn’t minimally travel.

I do find that my face 24-48 hours post injection looks different than where is settles after about a week +/-. Op you nay find in a couple days you look more like a refreshed version of yourself.
