Can you gain weight from 100 units of Botox injected into your underarms?

Asked By:lauren1596 in Boulder, CO

I went from 125-145, I'm not sure if this is just from starting college but it was such a fast onset it makes me concerned, there are a few articles that have discussed this topic, but none of my dermatologists have ever mentioned this side effect .
