  1. Perhaps you could help me with the following Concern;

    If I had Botox, a week or so, prior to Lasik Eye Surgery,
    Will there or can there be any side affects, and/or will it take me longer to heal.

    I have bruises and I am also experiencing Swellness on my face and the healing process is taking a lot longer than I anticipated.

    Please advise ASAP!

    Thank you,
    Jennie
