This was the first time I've ever had Botox, could this possibly be a side effect? My eye doctor said I have blood dots in Both eyes, it's not apparent from plain sight I had to get dilated and thats when he saw them, Dozens he said. I went back for another eye check up too see if they had gone away but they haven't. I never even thought to mention the Botox to him. Should I ? I'm really curious to know if there is possibly a connection at all. Thank you very much for your time Annie

Botox injections do not directly cause weight gain. If you have gained a significant amount of weight and have not changed your diet or exercise I would advise you to consult your internist to evaluate if there is a hormonal cause. Best, Dr. Green
Unfortunately Botox cannot be reversed. I would definitely return to your treating physician for examination to determine if anything can be done. Best, Dr. Green
