Write to the editors here if a reaction, a side effect or an aftercare question is on your mind. Say what you see or feel in plain words, and when it started.

Use the fields below to write your note, sharing as much about the situation as you are comfortable with. Do not include anything you would not want read by the site's editors.

Some signs are not for a note at all. Trouble breathing or swelling that spreads fast means calling emergency services or your physician now.

A note here is not a medical consultation, and no reply is promised. Questions about your own treatment go to the clinician who treated you.

A woman taps an appointment calendar on her phone outside a brightly lit Queens storefront as pedestrians pass at night.

If you would like some reading while you write:

If you have concerns about a med spa itself, read the Spectrum News report on the statewide investigation of medical spas.
If you are deciding who should treat you, read the UK public health service's advice on choosing who will do your cosmetic procedure.
If you are choosing a med spa, read the American Society of Plastic Surgeons guide to choosing a medical spa.
If you are worried that an injection you had may have been counterfeit or mishandled, read the federal health alert on adverse effects linked to counterfeit or mishandled botulinum toxin injections.

These pages are written with Long Island City and its neighbors in mind.
