I had Botox injections in my forehead one week ago and I'm suffering from some side effects. Any suggestions?

It is common to have headache feeling but only for a few days, heaviness may be due to high dose. I suggest you speak to an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your Botox related symptoms.  These are not common side effects and with the feelings of difficulty swallowing I would recommend seeing your injector for an in-person examination to ensure no other issues are occurring and no treatment is needed.  Best wishes

The heaviness in the forehead maybe related to over injection of the frontalis. The other symptoms, mainly the drawn out headache and difficulty swallowing are not common with Botox injection. I would recommend you followup with you injector in-person.

Without  seeing a photo it is difficult to assess accurately. But it sounds like the Botox was placed too low on the forehead which would cause the eyebrows to fall making it appear that your eyelids are swollen. Fortunately none of this is permanent, and will start to improve 3-4 weeks down the road sine you had a "small amount". The difficulty swallowing would difficult to blame on the Botox in the forehead. I would check with your regular doctor if this doesn't improve. Also I would not recommend going to a "nurse" for these injections and would see a physician trained in cosmetic treatments. Saving a couple of dollars per unit is not worth it in the end.

Swelling of eyes and swallowing difficulties need to be evaluated ASAP and not next week. Although these side effects are extremely rare, they can happen with improper injections. Swelling of the eyelids is often confused with dropping of the lids with too much or improperly placed Botox in the forehead. If too much is placed in the wrong place in the neck, swallowing difficulties can happen as well. You might want to see another clinic as well.
