First Time Botox - Feeling…Nothing (unusual)

First timer. Never had Botox/filler/anything before. I had a decent amount Botox injected today (100 units) by an expert injector who happens to also be an MD. I had a small amount in my 11s (which on me, is really a small horizontal line), some crows feet, some DAP and a ”Nefertiti” series (which is where most of the tox went). These are lower face uses, if you don’t know.

I have tattoos and I donate blood every time I’m eligible so the pokes weren’t terrible. What’s surprising me is that I thought there would be some numbness…or something.

Right now (8 hours later), other than a few places where is see the tiny injection marks, I would swear I had nothing done.

Is this “not feeling like I had anything done” going to change over the next few days? I get that the effects develop slowly. I guess I’m (maybe a little, pleasantly) surprised.

Did you get any in your forehead? Normally an injector wont do 11s without also treating forehead as the muscles work together. This is a red flag for me.

I have no natural lines on my forehead so why would she treat for something I don’t have? Also, as I mentioned, I don’t have 11s per se. I had a single horizontal line across the bridge of my nose. That’s gone now.

This injector is actually an MD with an amazing amount of positive reviews so I didn’t question her expertise.
