Possible Complications with Botox® Cosmetic
Some patients experience slight, short-term bruising at the injection site. Such
bruising is usually minimal and can be easily covered with make-up. On
occasion, the toxin can migrate to other muscles and cause weakness, which is
temporary. In approximately 1% of patients, BOTOX® Cosmetic may cause an eyelid to slightly
droop or cause facial expressions to be slightly out of balance. However, each of
these side effects are short term, lasting only a few weeks at the most. There
have been no reports of damage to the eye or any permanent side effects from
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments. Discontinuing BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments will reverse any side effect that
may occur from the treatment.
