Hi all,

I just got two Botox injections today and my CRS did it without sedating me. All she did was put some topical analgesic around the area first. It wasn't done in an operating room, either, just in the doctor's office.

I did some reading through the archives and this seems atypical. It seems that most people were sedated for the procedure and had it done in the operating room.

Has anyone ever gotten Botox injections without being sedated first? I'm curious as to whether mine were done correctly. There was some pain during the procedure but it was tolerable, definitely not something I would need to be sedated for. The whole thing including preparation only took 5-10 minutes. And all I have now half a day later is minor soreness in the area, no other side effects (although I haven't had a bowel movement yet). Does this sound right to you all for Botox injections?
