Too Much Botox Injected on Area

December 10, 2008
Asked By:bambam in UK

I just had Botox for the first time and during administration, my doctor slipped and pushed the contents of the syringe instead of a measured dose. I understand that this is uncommon but am worried about what might happen. He said it would be fine but I'm not convinced. Will I experience any side effects?
