Can a Botox injection in the forehead cause swollen temples?

Botox can cause swelling in the area it was injected bu tit's unlikely a forehead injection would cause temple swelling.  There may be some bruising under the skin which migrated to the temple but this should be self limiting.  Be patient with the effects of the Botox as it can take up to 7 days till it takes effect.  Return to your surgeon if you still can move the injected areas 10 days after the first injection.

Thank you for your question. It is not common to have swelling 5 days post Botox, especially to the temple area. Botox takes 2 weeks to settle, perhaps contact your injector to discuss your concerns. After 2 weeks it may subside. Hope this helps,

Thank you for your question.If you develop swelling following Botox injections, it is usually immediate due to the trauma of the needles, not the Botox. It would occur the same day, not a few days later. The swelling would fully resolve if related to the Botox. It is unlikely that the Botox migrated, but if it did, you would not see it as swelling. I would not worry, because you should be fine and see the effects in a few more days. I hope this helps.
