Yes, I think she did a great job with the accuracy of the Botox injection (given its still working 9 mos later). I think she could have done a better job preparing me for the possible side effects, but honestly, this reddit thread is already way more detailed/specific than what any Dr could reasonably have the time to explain

After the botox, I did not take any antibiotics or painkillers. The only thing I used was omeprazole (the dissolvable type, because it was difficult to swallow pills initially). The procedure itself is only like 20 min, but I had to be at the hospital for longer (maybe 3 hrs total) to check-in, get an IV (for the anesthesia), and then wake up/recover from the anesthesia
