I had Botox today for the second time (by a different doctor), and he let the excess Botox run down in my eyes and I am freaking out. Does anyone know what side effects this could have, if any?

Answer: Probably nothing Hello Although it may seem like something will happen after Botox dribbles in the eye, the likely thing is that nothing will happen. Remember, you are having small doses of Botox injected into your facial muscles. So, if a small amount squirts into your eye, it usually ends up being less than one unit of Botox. That is a minute amount and should not affect your eyes. Botox was initially injected directly into eye muscles to correct strabismus. At worse, you may notice some eye symptoms that should resolve within a couple of weeks. Best of luck.

Answer: You don't need to worry about Botox irritating your eye Botox will not irritate the surface of your eye. If it were going to, it would have done it immediately. Additionally, Botox will not travel through the surface tissues of your eye to the muscles around your eye or to the interior of the eye. There should be no effect at all. Bottom line, you don't need to worry. Hope this helps you feel better about this.
