This sounds unusual and I've never experienced this in my patients after such a treatment.

Botox doesn't cause dry mouth after cosmetic injection to the forehead. I suggest you see an expert or speak to you physician if you are concerned. Best, Dr. Emer.
This is not a common side effect and would be very unusual unless the Botox was injected directly into the gland. Juvederm should not cause dry mouth
Thank you for your question and I am sorry that this dry mouth issue has caused you to worry. As Botox does not have an effect on salivary gland production it is likely another issue that has resulted in your dry mouth. If this does not resolve in the next several days, talk to your primary care doctor about your symptoms.
It is not likely that the two events are related after Botox and Juvederm placed in the upper face.BestDr karamanoukian
Botox is generally very safe. However, the official Botox website lists "dry mouth" first under the section of "Other side effects..." There are some anecdotal reports that up to 1% of Botox patients experience some degree of dry mouth. If your dry mouth persists past a few days or a week, you may want to see your primary care doctor for treatment options. The dry mouth, if due to Botox, should not at all be a permanent problem. Although, it may take weeks or months for your symptoms to fully resolve. It would also be a good idea to report your symptoms to your treating physician. It is unlikely your dry mouth symptoms resulted from Juvederm. That filler is made from hyaluronic acid which is rather chemically non reactive in the injectable form. Best wishes to you.
Juvederm can often cause swelling especially in the lips, since it is hydrophilic. It can take up to two weeks for the bruising to resolve and to see the full effects. Best, Dr. Green
I always recommend that you go slowly with your injections, especially with the lips. You have so much swelling with the lips and bruising that it is not possible to see your full results until at least 10 days from now. You can then assess the full results. Best, Dr. Green
The best advice would be a combination of Thermage and Juvederm Voluma injections into the mid-face (cheek). Healthy life style, sunscreen, and rest, all help as well. Please feel free to post your photo for a more in depth analysis. Best, Dr. Green
