Bonnie Kaplan, 53, had a few wrinkles and she believed Botox was the answer. Celebrities were endorsing it; many people were using it, and her friends were into it. What could possibly go wrong, she thought.
Without any hesitation, she visited a private clinic in Florida for some shots. Her dream was to be wrinkle-free. Little did she know her short visit would turn into a nightmare.
“The consequences were horrific. Thirty-six hours after the injections, Bonnie started to have problems breathing and was so weak she couldn’t walk,” reported Claire Coleman in the Daily Mail.
