Botox Cosmetic

Side Effects

There is no chance of contracting botulism from Botox injections; however there are other risks associated with the procedure. If too much toxin is injected or if it is injected into the wrong facial area, a person can end up with droopy eyelid muscles (ptosis) that could last for weeks.

Other common side effects are headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, and nausea. Less frequent reactions included pain in the face, redness at the injection site, and muscle weakness. These reactions are mostly temporary but could last several months.
