You cannot lie down for 4 hours after the injections or the stuff can migrate away from the target muscles! Perhaps your headache and then lying down to sleep made the toxin leave the muscles after the treatment.<br />Also, 55cc is an impossible amount of fluid to inject into toughdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332384474579052536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-6141820324754903742012-05-27T15:46:29.831-04:002012-05-27T15:46:29.831-04:00Hi Wendy,

Generally you should get at least two and a half mos. At the very minimum. Was Dysport or Botox used? Some people have better results with one over the other. I prefer Dysport because it kicks in faster.<br />If your furrow was deep, it's DivaDebbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08983282399139262153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-63479706391738900772012-05-27T11:16:01.567-04:002012-05-27T11:16:01.567-04:00Good Morning,

I spent way too much money on 1 outfit to wear on my road bike. It's really sick how much a pair of diapered shorts and a thin shirt with back pockets cost. But, if it will keep my tush bruised-free, I guess it's worth it in the end.
