Thank you and I hope this helps.
No deaths or serious systemic effects such as blood clots have been reported with cosmetic doses of Botox. Considering the millions of doses that have been given over the years, it is a remarkable safety record.
Botox when administered for cosmetic purposes has not been linked to a death. Botulinum toxin produced in cases wherein bacteria were introduced into the bloodstream has produced death. Blood clots have not been reported with Botox used for cosmetic purposes.
I am not aware of a death following cosmetic Botox treatment. Blood clots are also highly unlikely and something I have never seen in practice. These stories are usually related by a friend of a friend of a cousin who read the story on the internet. In experienced hands, Botox is incredibly safe but every procedure has inherent risks. It's just that the complications you are inquiring about have not occurred in my experience. The most common complication from Botox is a small bruise at the area of injection which can be covered up with makeup immediately. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
