Can Botox Cause Fluid Retention in Upper Eyelids? (Photo)

Asked By:Gregarious209719 in Boon, Michigan

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?
