I had botox in my forehead and glabella 8 months ago. A week after I started waking up with upper eyelid swelling that ended up stretching my eyelid skin. I met with an ocular plastic surgeon who told me Botox wouldn’t have caused the swelling. 3 weeks ago I had another round of botox, this time only in the glabella region and 2.5 weeks later I’m again waking up with swollen eyes everyday. Can botox cause upper lid swelling or affect lymphatic drainage in the face?

Answer: Botox and lymphatic drainage Hello and thank you for your question. It is always best to see you face to face for a consult and examination however in this case yes it is possible for botox to cause issues with lymphatic drainage - usually this is under the eye when the crows feet zone is treated around the eyes. Our advice would be to reduce the dose next time and see what the effect is. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes

Answer: Botox Botox does not cause fluid retention. If the forehead or glabella area is overtreated it can lead to a heavy appearance to the eyes or drop the brow. This effect is temporary and will resolve over time. I encourage you to visit with your injector to discuss your concerns.

Answer: Heavy eyes after Botox Botox does not cause fluid retention. It is possible that you are experiencing heaviness in your brow area due to more immobilization from the Botox at your glabella. This can cause the eyelids to subsequently feel heavy as well since you cannot raise your brows quite as much. Next time you may opt for lighter glabella injections.
