Will Botox make dry eyes worse?

February 6, 2022
Asked By:hamburger_head in Australia

Hi there, I’ve been thinking about getting Botox in the forehead and in between the eyebrows but I have dry eyes - will it make them worse? I have had Botox years ago in the forehead and I had terrible side effects for about two weeks (nausea, dizziness, headache, real heavy feeling in my head and eye sockets). I didn’t have dry eyes at this stage though. I’m wondering if a smaller dose would reduce the side effects? I mainly want it to lift the tails of my brows.
