I have a tingling sensation on my left eyebrow/eye 5 days after getting botox in my face. Why?

Thank you for sharing your question. Tingling sensation should not follow Botox injections. It is probably coincidental. You should see your injecting doctor. Good luck,

Thank you for your question. Allow for 2 weeks for the Botox to settle before you assess results. After the 2 weeks if you are not happy with the results, schedule a follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns. Best,

Tingling shouldn't be from botox. I suggest you speak to your physician if you are concerned.  The results of the botox should show in 10-14 days.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. It is unlikely that this is related to your Botox injections. I recommend having a follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!

Thanks for your question. This is a question that we
get asked often by our patients. The most common SIDE-EFFECTS of toxin
injections include: Swelling, Redness, and Bruising at the site of
injection. Complications are rare and only temporary, but may include
paralysis of other nearby muscles, temporary eyelid ptosis (dropping of
eyelids, 2% risk, lasts 2-3 weeks), temporary brow ptosis (dropping of
eyebrows, 2% risk, lasts 2-3 weeks), cross-eyes, ectropion or edema of the
lower eyelid, dry eyes, double vision, transient headaches (10%), local
numbness (lasting 2-3 weeks), flu-like symptoms, rash at the injection site,
pain at the injection site, infections, and bruising (need to avoid blood
thinning medications). Cold compresses may be used immediately after
treatment to reduce swelling only if needed. This may be applied for 3 minutes,
3 times per day, for up to 3 days. This is best done with a bag of peas in a
zip lock bag. Only apply light pressure to the area. Only take Tylenol if you
get a headache or migraine.

Hey thereThanks for the question.  I would go back and see your injector, this could be many things going on.  Possibly one of the nerves was traumatized and slightly injured and is causing that discomfort.  "The above answer has been given without seeing this
patient and cannot be substituted for actual in-person examination and medical
advice; it is only opinion. Seek in-person treatment with a trained medical
professional for appropriate care."

The tingling is not from the Botox but either from the needle itself just irritating the area or a nerve was irritated. after another week the symptoms should be gone

You're probably experiencing the sensation from the needle/injection it self.  I haven't heard of tingling as a post botox treatment symptom.  Botox takes up to 10 days , after that then you can evaluate.
