My eyelids have been swollen, I have a constant heavy headache feeling in my forehead, constant tiredness and swallowing feels really unnatural. Will these side effects go away and are they normal? My injections were administrated by a nurse at a clinic where she does regular Botox and filler treatments. I have spoken to other clients who have had none of these effects. I had a small amount and have a top up consultation with her next week, (won't be topping up!) Thankyou for all replies.

Answer: Botox complications 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.

Answer: Side effects from Botox 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.
