A few days ago, Kim Kardashian decided that, even though she’s only 29, she needed Botox to fix the (non-existent) crow’s feet around her eyes – and she did it in front of the cameras no less.

Unfortunately, she had a rather nasty reaction to the toxin and realized, almost immediately after getting the jabs, that she was itching all over.

Not only that, but she also wound up with black eyes, which scared and upset her so badly she vouched she’d never get Botox again, at least until she’s 40, as In Your Face can confirm.

“Reality TV celebrity Kim Kardashian, 29, has been catching flak as a poor role model for young women because she got Botox injections,” the e-zine notes.

“Now that her Botox session and its bruising aftermath have been televised, she can fulfill a different role – as an example of possible side effects of Botox injections,” In Your Face says.

Scared because she’d become all bruised and sore, Kim went to the family doctor, who reassured her that she would be ok in a week or so, while also warning her to stop getting procedures she didn’t need.

“You’ll look as good as new in a week. So you hide out for a couple days behind your glasses,” the doctor told her.

He then proceeded to warn her of excessive use of Botox, especially since she didn’t really need it at this point in her life, because she had no wrinkles to fix with it.

“I’m not so sure that you’re allergic, but any time you get an injection under the skin it can cause some bruising. Be careful with medications. You do them when you need to, and you certainly don’t need to,” the doctor added.

Eventually, Kim seemed to become convinced that she’d done something stupid, as her sister Khloe told her when they both went to the doctor’s office to get the jabs.

“I’ll never do this again. Ever,” she said. “Promise,” she replied to her mother Kris Jenner, when she asked her if she was willing to give her word for it.

“I will never do this again … well at least until I’m 40,” the reality star added after giving it a second thought.
