Why Did I Feel As if Cold Liquid Dripped on my Cheek when I Was Injected with Botox for Crows Feet?

Reconstituted Botox is stored in a refrigerated cabinet, and it's possible that a few drops of Botox dripped from the needle onto the surface of your cheek. I'm not sure why you're having cheek numbness after your treatment. You should make a follow up with your doctor to address your concerns.

Hope this helps.

I believe that the sensations you are feeling are the result of the injection process itself rather than the Botox product. It is likely that the needle stimulated a facial nerve during the injection, and it sent your brain a signal that felt like cold water (our nerves can send all sorts of odd sensations that may not be representative of what we're actually feeling). The feelings you're sensing now are likely that nerve continuing to feel irritated and heal itself. Rest assured, the nerve will eventually heal itself and the sensations should resolve on their own.
