Can you get red eyes from Botox?

Most likely, your bloodshot eyes were merely a coincidence. Botox is not known to cause bloodshot eyes as a side effect, and I’ve never seen it happen at my practice. If you do decide to have Botox again, be sure to visit a board-certified, experienced dermatologist for the best results. 

Thank you for your question in regards to Botox. It is very unlikely that your Botox injections caused bloodshot eyes.To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your interesting question. Botox is not known to cause "bloodshot eyes. Mostly likely, the redness was a coincidence. You should be fine having more Botox injected. Make sure to go to an experienced injector.Good luck,

Thank you for your question and I'm sorry your prior episode caused you to have these symptoms. It is unlikely that you will develop red eyes after Botox use, but see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation.

Thank you for your question. It is unlikely the red eye you were experiencing was from Botox. There may have been other variables to consider. Best, 

Thank you for your question. It would be highly unlikely that the redness of your eyes was from the Botox. Botox remains localized, and reactions are quite rare. The redness of your eyes was likely from something else going on at the time, like dryness. It should be fine to have Botox placed in your forehead again. If you do have any concerns, I would suggest discussing this with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck with your Botox. Jeff Rockmore

Thank you for your question.  It is unlikely that your blood shot eyes were related to your Botox injections.  It may have been just a coincidence. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to discuss your concerns and to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Trixie,Thanks for the question.I have never heard of Botox causing this type of reaction.  I doubt that your reaction was caused by the botox so you would probably be alright having the procedure repeated.  If it occurs again, then you would speak to your Plastic Surgeon and report it to Allergan (maker of Botox).Best of luck.Dr. T

This is very unusual complaint following a Botox treatment. We have not seen this in our practice.I would suggest seeing your eye doctor. Otherwise you should be evaluated by a board certified dermatologist experienced in this procedure to advise you properly and address your concerns.
