Can Botox lead to loss of smell and taste?

Madre2
I received Botox injections from a board-certified plastic surgeon and love the results I got. I plan to get more. However, I, like many other women who are asking this question, noticed a change in my sense of smell and taste about a month after receiving the shots. There may be something to this, docs.
