My botox side effects are getting worse; will I have permanent damage?

You must seek urgent evaluation of your symptoms regardless of what you suspect caused them. This is not an expected reaction to botox, particularly not such a small number of units. There were cases reported in the past where a physician injected a former of botulinum toxin not intended for human use and systemic side effects were severe. I'm not saying your provider did this, it's just what happened.Best,Lisa Vuich, MD

Thank you for your question Roomew. A bruise or hematoma is not uncommon after an injectable treatment. They can last up to two weeks. In our office we treat bruises with a laser as soon as the next day and the bruises resolve much more quickly, usually within one to three days. I have never heard of numbness radiating to  the leg or ringing in the ears after a Botox treatment. I do not know if this is from Botox or not. I recommend consulting with your doctor and a neurologist for further recommendations. Good luck!
