Is the Orbicularis Oculi Muscle Ever Frozen with Botox Injections?

I read the paragraph below on an Oprah.com article, and was wondering if this muscle is commonly or ever frozen by botox injections? "When someone smiles out of genuine delight, a facial muscle called the orbicularis oculi involuntarily contracts, crinkling the skin around the eyes. Most of us are incapable of deliberately moving this muscle, which means that when a person fakes a smile, her orbicularis oculi likely won't budge."
A: Botox treatment of the muscles around the eyes

The orbicularis muscle is treated when we treat the crow's feet with Botox and when one attempts to get a slight lift of the brow.  I think Dr Smith said it well,  our goal is not to freeze the muscle but to relax the muscle to achieve a more relaxed look.

Can Botox Injections Leave Residue on Skin? Is This Risky?

Can Botox injections leave residue on skin, and can this be ingested accidentally (ie hands or showering)? How many units of Botox ingested are toxic?
A: Botox does not leave a residue

There is no residue from Botox injections.  Medical grade botox, used in appropriate amounts, does not produce toxicity.  If you are implying that someone might "ingest" or eat Botox, that would be completely inappropriate.

Had Botox for Years with No Problem but Recently Was Injected for the Frown Line and Have Been Having Malaise/Headaches. Why?

i've had botox for years with no problem but recently was injected for the frown line and have been having malaise, a cloudy feeling and horrible headaches ever since (I was injected 8 days ago). The doctor is certified and experienced in midtown Manhattan. i just want to be reassured that these side effects will go away soon!! I felt back to myself on Monday and Tuesday but today it's back to more of the same headache and cloudiness. is it affecting my brain?
A: Botox and Headaches

It is possible for patients receiving injectable neurotoxins to develop mild and temporary headaches in the first week or so after the treatment. However, these headaches typically resolve fairly quickly.  If you are concerned about your symptoms, I would suggest you follow up with the doctor who did the injections. It is possible that he or she may have used a different neurotoxin this time, which might explain your having these symptoms for the first time.  If they persist for several weeks, they are much less likely related to the botox and I would consider seeing your primary care doctor.
