Yeah I wasn't really looking very close, but it can't have been as far back as that pic - is shows right near the earlobe, which on me is about 5" (or most of a standard swab handle). I bet they just got the scale off on the drawing to show more detail. Subjectively it is like having a sort of rough swipe of the back of your nose. Main thing is, don't put yourself in danger out of concern, it really isn't that big a deal. I wouldn't want to do it every morning, but it isn't as bad as, say, having to drive a Prius for a DD.
And hope the Botox works - I've had several patients that did really well with that. Also some that got a lot out of alpha-stim (more as an augmentation, not really a primary Tx). She must be tough - I almost put it in gear and drove off, and that was a swab; if it were a needle I'd have had to be strapped down.
