Should I be scared of Botox? Can it kill me? Or stop my breathing? Can it cause blindness?

Hi Stars
Thanks for your question. You should not be concerned regarding the side effects of antiwrinkle injections as they are exceedingly rare if done by an experienced practitioner. There are rare case reports of death with very large doses when injected into the neck for non-cosmetic purposes. If you are having it done for cosmetic reasons it is not going to cause death or blindness. The most likely complication (but still rare) is eyelid ptosis where the eyelid droops but this is temporary and can be helped with eye drops.

Thanks for the question. There has been no demonstrated significant adverse drug reactions (ADRs) with the normal dose of Botox injections unless they are placed very casually with an improper technique. Very rare complications are mostly due to over dosage and defective technique. For cosmetic purposes, the correct dose of Botox injected locally in a specified skin area will not cause breathing problems or blindness. Be sure to see an experienced facial plastic surgeon for cosmetic treatments to avoid the minimal risk of side effects.I hope this helps. Best wishes.
