I'm very afraid - could I get the botulinum toxin as this was a mucus membrane? Does botox absorb topically?
Answer: No it does not absorb this way.
This can rarely happen. It really means that the doc just wasted a bunch of BOTOX. None of it will be absorbed. However it is very startling when this happens.

Answer: Find the right surgeon for you? Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you. Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Botox and eyes
Botox is purposely injected into eyemuscles by Ophthalmologists for blepharospasm and as close a procedure this is to the eye, I have never heard of any complication of mucus membrane penetration with visual distrubance. See an ophthalmologist with any new symptom that develops for your reassurance.

Answer: You will not likely experience a problem after Botox squirted into your eyes during a procedure.
I read your question. Occasionally the needle may pop off during a Botox procedure, and the Botox can squirt over the area of treatment: including your eyes. In my practice, this has not led to any adverse effects for my patients.
I hope this is helpful for you.
Regards from NJ.

Answer: Don't be overly concerned over a little bit of BOTOX in the eye
While BOTOX is a botulinum toxin, I would not be concerned if a little bit dripped into the eye area unless you are getting symptoms like redness, irritation, or blurry vision. You can use preservative-free eye drops to flush out the contents from your eye. There have been multiple occasions where BOTOX has dripped on the skin and around the eye and I have not been aware of any serious complications from any of these instances. If you are having any symptoms associated with muscle fatigue, breathing difficulties, or anything systemic, you should see a doctor right away. But, BOTOX making contact with the mucus membrane should not cause a significant problem in small doses.
