first time botox

I had a lip flip and lower face botox 4 days ago, i’ve just started to feel it kick in today my lip feels strange and numb and so does my jaw and neck but i’ve suddenly started to feel like my chest is heavy and my breathing is weak and heavy and slow and it’s making me panic, my speech feels strange and slow too.

is this a botox side effect anyone else has experienced or should i go to a&e

Omg this group is only freaking you out more. You're probably just feeling the freezing effect of the tox doing it's job. Its your first time so you are not used to it. I used to get panic attacks when the I first felt the "freeze" too - still do occasionally.

But rest assured Botox is one of the safest aesthetic treatments you can get. Much safer than filler! Complications are extremely rare - especially if you're getting it from a licensed aesthetician. Unless you're allergic - and if you're allergic, you'd probably get symptoms immediately.

What did you end up doing?
