After getting Botox injections (forehead, crows feet and between the eyes) I could smell it. It was really strong smelling. I'm worried that it seeped out of my skin instead of going into the muscle. This wasn't my first Botox procedure - I've never smelled it like that before. Is it normal?

Asymmetry is minor and it all depends if you are willing to undergo short term treatments such as Botox injection and have to do if every 3 to 4 months, or undergo surgery, or just have professional shaping eyebrow alteration that will improve the symmetry. Good luck!
It is extremely rare to have an allergic reaction to Botox. It is much more likely that it is a bruise deep in the tissues that has not yet become visible. I would recommend seeing your treating physician in follow-up.
Thank you for your question. No, Botox cannot affect your kidneys because it has almost no systemic absorption. I recommend contacting your injector if you have any other concerns. Best of Luck!
