BOTOX SCAM!
If you are going here for Botox injections with dr. Danek just don't! It might be very attractive to pay $12 per unit but do yourself a favor, save your time, money and your face! Pay a couple of dollars extra and go to a plastic surgeon. If you have been seeing dr. Danek for Botox and you think you are happy with the results that means you have never had a truly great, unparalleled results. I have been receiving Botox continuously for the past three years and was very satisfied with the results, but the doctor/surgeon moved out of the city and I was left to find a new one.
After coming across dr. Danek and reading the reviews, I thought I will give it a try. Big mistake! I believe most of those reviews are fake. Focus on the ones that are negative, they are really scary experiences.
First red flag, I waited at least 45 minutes to see dr. Danek both times I was there. She didn't bother to apologize for being late.
Second red flag, the "Botox" syringe was not prepared in front of me, she left the room and brought the syringe with her. So, there is no way of knowing if it was actual Botox as there are other cheaper products on the market, also, I do not know if the toxin she used was reconstituted or not and if it was, with what? As I ended up having a reaction which I have never experienced before.The way she was targeting the areas of injections was very questionable to me. But I still trusted her since she is an MD. She has a very heavy hand and was not targeting the entire forehead to maintain balance. If you are getting your forehead "done" you should also get the 11 lines injected as well to maintain overall balance within the upper face, otherwise once the muscles across your forehead are paralyzed and others are not it will create an uneven/imbalanced look. Which happened to me. A good injector such as a plastic surgeon knows that.
Fast forward a week. The Botox (or whatever was injected) was not taking effect in a balanced way, remind you, I have three years of Botox experience, so I knew what to expect, but not this. I ended up developing two dimples on my forehead, one being quite noticeable and looking very weird. I came back for a "fix" and she injected more units to "even out" the "appearance". Guess what, the injection caused me such a big lump that I could not return to work that day. Mind you again, this never happened to me in the three years experience of receiving Botox every three months.
A week later, the effect never took the desired outcome, the dimple still remains. Eventually, I ended up seeing a plastic surgeon. I do not know till this day, what she injected and how, but the dimple on my forehead is still visible.
From the feedback I have received from the reputable plastic surgeon is that the injection I received seems so have damaged a muscle and created an atrophy that caused a dimple. Injection was not performed correctly and the question remains of the actual injectable product.
When you go for an injection, the provider/injector should prepare the syringe in front of you, period! That was my experience always and it should be. Funny, how she kept saying "You will be very happy with the results". Well, I am not, dr. Danek, you have ruined my forehead.
