Possible Complications with Connecticut BOTOX® Cosmetic

Possible Complications

Some Westport, Connecticut, 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.
