Can Botox injections lead to blood clots in the legs or any part of the body?

It is very unlikely. that your Botox treatment had any correlation to the blood clot you developed.  I encourage you to work with your PCP or a hematologist to best address your blood clots.

Thank you for your question.  I'm sorry you developed a clot a month after receiving Botox.  There doesn't seem to be a correlation between Botox injections and blood clots.  I suggest scheduling an appointment with your primary doctor in order to be referred to the proper specialist.  All the best!

Dear atad,Thank you for your question. It is likely that the clot is more of a coincidence rather than being caused by the Botox. If you have a blood clot I would get evaluated by your primary care doctor or go to a hospital for an evaluation. Best regards,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

This is a great question. Botox is a neurotoxin and can not cause blood clots in any part of the body. Neurotoxins are used to reduce the signs of aging, to help prevent creasing of the skin by relaxing the muscle in the area of treatment. Most common areas are the 11’s, forehead and crows feet.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  It is extremely unlikely that Botox contributed to any blood clot formation.  Hope this helps.
