Red lines after botox
I can not make sense as to what has occurred after your Botox. Was it in fact botox or a filler? Was this Allergan FDA approved Botox? You should see your doctor right away.

Red line on each side of nose after Botox injection for frown lines.
The pattern that you describe sounds bizzare.
The numbness is a little worrisome.
If all doesn't return to normal within 24 hours, contact the Dr who gave you the injections.
Always make sure that you are being treated by an experienced, Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon.

Palm beach gardens botox side effects
In the many thousands of botox injections that I have performed, I have not come across the red lines on the sides of the nose that you are describing. While it is not uncommon to experience some swelling and redness at the site of the injection, this usually resolves within 30 minutes. If this does not get better within 24 hours of injection, I would recommend contacting your doctor immediately. You should also contact the. Botox consumer line to notify them as well.

Sounds very normal and I bet today things are much better. Always call the injector's office to inform them of any issues or questions.

Abnormal result after Botox injection can have other causes.
You report something very unusual after Botox. I suggest you see your doctor/injector. The red streaks don't represent the usual lymphatic drainage even if the Botox was contaminated which hopefully it was not. See a doc re this where a hands on exam may help more than we can over the internet.

Side effects after Botox
What is being described is unusual and concerning since what is observed appears to be a reaction extending away from the treatment area. We recommend contacting your injector to make them aware and allow he/she an opportunity to evaluate you.

Unusual Effect From Botox
The symptoms you are describing sound very unusual for Botox injections. If things do not quickly improve over the next few days you should return to your injecting physician for a follow up examination. It's often a good idea for first time Botox patients to return a few weeks after their treatment to make certain they have gotten the results they expected.

Red lines
Many patients get some redness at the injection site which often disappears within an hour. You may be having a more exaggerated reaction to the trauma of the injection. Try ice and antihistamines. It should go away easily in the next day or two.

The redness will be temporary.
Some redness may be present from the injections themselves. This should be temporary and will likely clear up quite quickly within just a few days.

If this gets worse during the next 24 hours, I would be concerned.
It is possible that you are sensitive to the numbing agent that was used. It is possible that you form a wheal when injected. It is unlikely that you have an infection just a day after treatment. If things are no worse today, you are probably getting better. Of course docs talk about zero down time. This is more marketing hyperbole than reality. A bit of the bee stung effect is pretty normal and this may be what you are describing. If it resolves in...
