I have a tingling sensation on my left eyebrow/eye 5 days after getting botox in my face. Why?

Asked By:luka591 in American Canyon, CA

I had 54 units injected on my glabellar area, forehead & crowfeet 5 days ago. It doesn't hurt, but it is uncomfortable, similar to the tingling sensation i feel when anesthesia is wearing off. I even feel as my eyebrow muscle wanting to do its usual frowning movement but it cant, though i do feel it moving a little, does that make sense? Does this mean i need more botox to completely knock that muscle down? This is the first time though i ever get so many units. The max. i got before is 40.

Answer: It is unlikely that this is related to your Botox injections. I recommend having a follow up with your injector.
