Side effects are rare but after Botox is injected into the muscle, they may include:
Headache: this is the most common side effect after the procedure and usually goes away in a few days.
Severe headache: if you have headaches that don't go away after the first week let your doctor know right away so they can help you find an effective treatment (such as taking over-the-counter pain medicine).
Swelling around your eyes: this can happen anywhere from one hour to two days after Botox injections and should go away completely within two weeks of having injections.
Allergic reactions: a small percentage of people develop an allergic reaction to a Botox injection. Symptoms can include redness, burning, itching or swelling at the injection site. If you experience a severe reaction after getting treatment, contact your practitioner immediately and seek medical attention.
Droopy eyelids: patients can develop droopy eyelids after getting injections of botulinum toxin in their forehead area (glabella).
Dry mouth: this side effect is more common among men than women and usually lasts only a few days following treatment, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). If your dry mouth continues beyond that point or becomes unbearable while it lasts, then you may need additional medication like lip balm or throat lozenges until it goes away completely but don't worry - this isn't permanent!
Dry eyes: if your eyes feel irritated and dry, you may require eye drops following treatment. Get in touch with your practitioner.If at any point after your injections, you have difficulty breathing or double-vision you should contact a medical professional immediately.
