The doses used for cosmetic Botox are tiny and affect only the muscles that are injected. No cases of affects on the heart or any other organs have been documented with Botox Cosmetic.
Botox should not have any effect on the heart. Even with massive production of botulinum toxin characteristic of botulism it is the respiratory failure that is a problem, not cardiovascular.
Botox injected into the facial musculature for cosmetic purposes will not have any effect on the heart. It is injected directly into the muscle, and while it will diffuse within the muscle to a certain extent, it will not reach the heart.
Thank you for your question. The amount of Botox that we use for cosmetic indications stays localized to the muscles that we inject it in. It requires a very small amount to relax the muscles that we are treating and get the results that we are looking for. At the low doses that we use, it will not travel to or affect the heart.

Botox stays localized to the area it is injected and will not spread to any other areas of the body. Be sure to choose a specialist to perform your injections. Preferably a board certified plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or dermatologist. I hope this helps, and best of luck to you.
Cosmetic Botox injections to the face won't affect the heart, and if/when you consult with your injector, be sure to get informed prior to any injection.
When used to treat people for cosmetic purposes, Botox treatments would not affect the heart. The dose is very small and normally the Botox would not circulate throughout the body to reach the heart.
Botox stays locally unless it is inadvertently injected into the bloodstream, in which case it will paralyze the diaphragm and stop breathing (respiration) .. this is a very unlikely event in experienced hands.
Properly used Botox is only absorbed by the muscles it’s injected in to and is used in small doses in the facial muscles to create a more relaxed and rejuvenated look. It doesn't migrate and therefore has no affect on the heart. “Dr. D”
When Botox is injected in small doses to soften facial wrinkles, it is not systemically absorbed and should have no affect on the cardiovascular system. Product diffusion does become an issue if it Botox is improperly diluted or injected as muscles adjacent to the site of injection can be unintentionally affected. This is why it is important to have your practitioner be experienced with Botox injections and knowledgeable about facial anatomy.
Because you had Botox three times before, this wouldn't suggest an allergic reaction. The local swelling is common after injections and usually goes away after an hour. Sometimes head pains are common in patients who are sensitive to injections. You should try keeping a cool compress on th...
It is difficult to give a definite answer to this question, without being aware of the details of the procedure as well as your anatomy prior to the procedure. In your question you mentioned that you have had Botox injections. Neuromodulators can give you drooping of your lip. ...
It is highly unlikely that the dilation of your vessels is related to the Botox injections. It could be related to other underlying conditions or other systemic issues and suggest that you speak to your primary care physician.
I do not think that you can swallow enough Botox to effect any function. Once it gets to your stomach the acidic environment probably inactivates it so do not worry about absorption If you got numbing cream in your mouth it will make your mouth feel funny and might even give you trouble...
Make certain that you are seeing the correct specialist. You should consult an oculoplastic surgeon for assessment and possible treatment options.
The two aren't directly related, Botox around the eyes, and hearing loss and/or tinnitus. I would do a little research (if it's available to you) into your family to see if this is something other members might experience too.
