Botox - wtf is going on?

I've had baby Botox a few times, no issues, 40-45 units each time. Everything was very by the book; started seeing results in about a week and it improved in the days and weeks to come.

Tried someone new today (recommended by a friend, same units) and something feels off... not sure if my right eye is swollen, or if my right eyebrow is ever so slightly dropping!? My face feels asymmetrical either way although I can't put my finger on it. It's obvious something is wrong, although it's not clear to me exactly what is wrong iyswim.

The lines on my forehead have also practically disappeared despite the treatment being about 9 hours ago, which is also totally different from my last few treatments (and not normal according to google). My 11s and crows feet are still there although not as obvious.

Is all of this perhaps due to a swollen forehead or has the new person injected me with something unholy!? I'll call first thing tomorrow but can't sleep right now!

Fwiw I am not in UK, here everything has to be injected by a medical doctor

Sorry got cut off. Wanted to say, has to be injected by medical doctor, and this new person is also a doc in a reputable clinic, so not like I got it done in someone's shed!

Is it the same product you've had injected before?

It could be hitting a nerve that can cause bruising/swelling or a different product. It always so hard finding someone. I tried someone new once and it wasn't the same.

Rest yourself now, lie down and loads of water then call the practitioner tomorrow. If you're unhappy they should be able to reassure you.

Can you post a pic? Hard to tell from your description.
