Thank you for your question. Some patients will experience a mild headache after Botox, intense swelling of eyes and neck pain are not common. Speak with a medical professional regarding your symptoms and have them assessed. Best.
Botox has not been shown to cause headaches, in fact it is one of the ways to treat migraine headaches. It seems that in your situation your symptoms are caused by residual sinusitis. You should see your doctor for evaluation and possible refferal to an ENT specialist.
Some people can get temporary headaches that can last for a few days after botox injections in the forehead, but these are usually mild. The severity of your headache along with the other symptoms of eye swelling and neck pain concern me greatly! A potential issue with botox can also be drooping of the brow / forehead or even the eyelid itself, but I have never heard of it being responsible for actual eyelid swelling. You should seek care from your medical doctor or ENT.

Thank you for your question. You might want to consider a skincare treatment vs. Botox. Speak with a dermatologist, perhaps he/ she can recommend something. Best,
Botox or dysport in the masseter muscle can be a good option for masseter hypertrophy or in patients who grind their teeth. There are muscles very close to the masseter called the risorius and buccinator which may have gotten inadvertently injected or had the botox diffuse to them slightly...
The forehead is probably the most variably and poorly treated region of the upper face with Botox. It is important to balance the benefit of wrinkle improvement with relaxation of the only eyebrow elevator, the frontalis muscle, and resulting eyebrow droop that will occur. Dosages exceeding 20...
Too much botox in the forehead can cause the brows to droop and create pressure over the eyelids and an unpleasing look. Injecting at the tail of the brow may help to counteract some of the drooping at the corners but likely not all of it. The good thing is this will abate over time...
