« on: September 11, 2007, 08:52:49 pm »
Hi everyone, I had my brain surgery last year. Still have problems mostly the facial trip. Anyway my left side of face (side that had tumor) isnt drooping  mine is more like Im snarling Its like tighten up spastic(theres a term but cant think of it right now) anyway I went in today and Had botox put in by my eye and cheek. He the docter said it will take a few days but its already feeling like its not as tight. And my eye looks alittle more open.  Ill let you know in a few days if it worked.  Has anyone else had the tighten in the face instead of drooping????? ??? ???

I had surgery in June 2006 and my face is very tight. I am very interested in hearing about the results of your Botox treatments. Did your Dr say you will have to continue to have these shots?
