Please!!!! Don’t go there— run !!!!
I was always very clear with the staff at this clinic that I am not fluent in English, as I am new to London. Despite this, I took the time to explain to the doctor in every possible way that I have been receiving Botox in my masseter for over 10 years and that I am very familiar with the procedure and how it normally works.
The consultation did not even last 15 minutes. There were no measurements, no proper assessment, and the whole appointment felt rushed. Unfortunately, the result has been absolutely disastrous. I now have visible lumps on one side of my face when I chew — and not even when chewing hard, sometimes simply when speaking. This has never happened to me before in more than a decade of receiving this treatment.
Their response has been to refer to the consent form, which states that medical science is not exact. While that may be true to a point, after many years of Botox treatments I have never experienced anything like this. That explanation feels more like a convenient excuse than a professional response.
They suggested that I return to the same doctor so she can “fix” it. However, I do not feel comfortable doing that. The appointment felt rushed and careless, and I simply do not trust the same practitioner to correct the issue.
At this point, I only want the effect of this treatment to wear off — it has already been over a month. I do not plan to return to this clinic once I finish what I already have pending. What I do expect, however, is a fair refund so I can seek help from a qualified professional who performs this procedure properly.
If this matter cannot be resolved fairly, I will have no choice but to escalate it and report the situation to the appropriate authorities.
P.S. Please don’t take the time to reply with the usual generic phrases like “we’re sorry you didn’t enjoy your visit to our clinic” or “we care deeply about our patients.” Those scripted responses only make situations like this more frustrating. What I expect instead is a serious and concrete solution. This is not just about aesthetics — it concerns my health, and I will be taking this matter seriously.
