I had 20 mg of Botox injected near my eyes 4 days ago. The tip of my tongue has been numb since. Should I be concerned?

Dear Spyder1313, Thank you for your question. It is highly unlikely that botox would cause you to have numbness in your tongue. I suggest following up with your primary care physician. Best of luck to you!

Thank you for the inquiry and sorry to hear you are having an issue. I do not believe there is any link between the Botox injection and the numb tip of your tongue. I think it is simply one of those unusual coincidences.  Botox affects muscle contractions. If the numbness continues, please contact your primary care MD. Best of luck!

I do not believe there is any connection between the Botox and tongue tip numbness.  Botox is a neurotoxin, which acts at the junction of where nerve and muscle meet, forcibly relaxing the muscle by disallowing the chemicals released at the ends of nerves to get into the muscle receptor sites (and thereby preventing the muscle from contracting).
