Botox Treatment



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am thinking of Botox treatment being in my 50s. I have talked to few doctors like. Francis form Francis NY Plastic Surgery but want some personal suggestion if anyone has??

Dr has explained me everything very well but a bit confused. How much time it takes to recover, and one more thing anyone has experience with Dr. Francis?

I get Botox a couple times a year and love it. It feels like a sweat bee sting. Just kind of a like annoying poke. No pain really. You have red spots for a few hours and that's pretty much it. The total effect take a about a week. Besides its amazing work on wrinkles it will pretty much resolve any Migraine issues too.

I get Botox apparently. Like Knitchik said, you get little red injection site bumps for a few hours and it feels like a bee sting. You have to keep your head upright though so the botox doesn't move for a few hours, but otherwise it's great. It got rid of my forehead wrinkles and it serves as a preventative.

Thank you for posting this thread. I have not had Botox but I'm planning to get it soon and I'm excited for it. It was one of my weight loss rewards. I'm looking forward to getting rid of the eye wrinkles. It's nice to read others describe what it feels like and how long until you see results.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
