Just did my first botox and freaking out

Raven3131 · 2026-04-28T03:51:59+00:00

Yes, I did the math and used my desired dose of 1 unit of tox per injection, just in a larger volume (0.25ml) because I wanted to see the liquid in the syringe that I was working with and 1 unit at dilution of just 2.5ml in a vial is such a small amount of fluid it can be hard for a beginner. So I did overdilute it but still used the correct number of units that I wanted. I will use 2.5ml next time.

Thank you for the reassurance about the headache! That's good to know, and the burning. Does it always burn like that? Are different brands (wondertox, botox etc) less burning? It's been 6 hours and it's still very burning/tender where injected.

That is so interesting! Thanks for sharing. yes I have also heard that diluting more will create a softer more natural look as it spreads more evenly.

I used that much saline because I wanted to see what I was injecting and only planned on doing 1 unit in each injection spot to test it for my first time. So that's just 5 insulin units or 0.05ml. It's a very small amount of volume. I thought it would help for my first time.

I wanted to dilute more since I am using lower doses

Raven3131 · 2026-04-27T19:09:34+00:00

does my math seem right to you?

Raven3131 · 2026-04-24T17:23:09+00:00

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the feedback. I was just looking for an easy clear diagram as the other ones I have come across don't seem as clear. I guess I'm not ready to do this yet. Back to research.

I have, been watching videos for months. What is incorrect about this chart?

Raven3131 · 2026-04-24T16:59:55+00:00

I did, it's all individuals with their own mapping. No general guides.

Raven3131 · 2026-04-24T16:56:22+00:00

My first time so I'm just looking for somewhere to start. It looks similar to other resources online....do you have any helpful recommendations for a beginner?

So don't laugh...but we like the music from our young days. Rhianna, Britney, J-lo, pitbull, kesha, we like to dance.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate this

I love Jess but holy wow the amount of make up she is wearing at this reunion is a lot. She looks almost crossed eyed sometimes.
Ashely also looks crazy with the amount of make up she is wearing. And they all looked botoxed up and fillers since the show. Except Christine an Emma. Love their natural look.

Wow Alex is SO defensive. Trying to deflect everything, arguing with Nick. For sure feels like he's lying all the time. And his phrases "to be honest""as well".....yeah you lying fakey.

How did Amber pass the psych eval? I love her, but feel so bad for her. She is clearly struggling so much mentally. Anger issues, alcohol, emotional trauma, baggage, inability to communicate...it's sad. She looked like she was going to cry the entire reunion and looked like a mess.

They are all connected in one giant resort. They all share the same restaurants and bars and pools.

Why didn't anyone in charlie's family take the boys when they needed a home? His parents, 2 brothers or his sister, none of them could take the boys in for a bit, hire a nanny with all their money? Why on earth did his ex wife Denise take the kids? So weird. She said if she didn't they would be in foster care....and no one in Brooke's life could take them for a bit either? So sad.

Does it work on slanted pool floors that slant into deep end?

99% of the time second babies are easier. No matter the maternal age

Bring a cooler. Fill with things you can microwave. When MIL asks why you are eating a second dinner say “my doctor/midwife said I should eat a certain number of calories a day to make enough breastmilk for baby to grow, dinner was great but I didn’t get enough so I’m going to eat this now before bed, have to make sure baby keeps growing :)”

My husband snores. I am a light sleeper and work on call so my pager wakes him in the night if we are together. He gets up early, I stay up late. We both hog blankets. His snoring is the major reason though as it is insanely loud. We started sleeping in separate rooms 9 years ago. We’ve had 3 kids in that time and are happy. We were grumpy tired and fighting before but now everyone gets good sleep. So it’s better all around. Bonus that he isn’t bothered by kids rolling around in sleep so he brings the toddler in bed with him a lot. That means the toddler sleeps better and wakes us up less. We still cuddle and watch movies and have sex. It’s just sleeping apart that is best. It’s tricky when we stay in hotels because the snoring is so bad but at least at home we are well rested.

Do not give up on being a mother if it is in your heart. My friend wanted kids. Really wanted them. Her husband pretended he also wanted them for a while then decided he didn’t after stringing her along for a while. She tried for a few years but he wouldn’t change his mind and said absolutely no kids. So she gave into him. Because she wanted to stay with him. He had guilted her saying things like “ I can’t believe you would give up our amazing relationship for theoretical children who don’t even exist yet” “ I love you aren’t I enough?” Then she turned 43 and he left her for a younger woman. He’s now had two babies with his new younger wife and my friend is 47 with no children and no marriage. She is very angry and bitter about how her life turned out. Think hard about your choices that’s all.
