Red, itchy, swollen eyes reaction to Botox, what is going on?

Asked By:caseywouldgo in Los Angeles, CA

I’ve had Botox a handful of times over the last few years and this is the second time this has happened. The first time I was told it couldn’t be related to the Botox and allergy testing did confirm something else. However, I had Botox injected for crows feet, forehead lines and in the glabella earlier today and am experiencing the same symptoms in my eyes- puffiness, redness and they’re irritated and itchy. Nothing else changed today, no new face products or foods eaten. What is going on?!
