I have had headaches and feel tired 9 days after Botox and Restylane. Is this related?

dancingbirdsAug 22, 2015
I had a top up of botox 9 days ago and restylene in my cheek and tear trough. It all looks ok and no bruising but I have headaches much of the day since the treatment and my head feels heavy and I feel listless and tired. Is this a reaction to botox or restylene or maybe I've just got a head cold but I have no other symptoms. Thanks

It's possible that your masseter muscle has decreased in size and resulted in your cheek now appearing sunken. It is best for your to consult with your injector and your primary care physician to determine whether what you are describing is indeed from the Botox, or from another medical...

Thank you for question.  Wondering why did you switch to a new injector when you were happy with the price and results. $12/unit is fair price for Botox.  Discuss your concerns with your injector.  Best Wishes.

Hello,I would also recommend seeing the same, experienced injector for all of your facial injections because they work together in harmony and the same practitioner will have a clear picture of your treatment history. All the best

Hello,Generally all pain relievers are safe for headache after your treatment but we recommend that you avoid blood-thinners the week prior. Check with your injector to see what they advise.All the best!

Thank you for your question.  In short, no you cannot sweat out Botox nor can you "kill the Botox" effect.  You have to wait about three months for the effects to wear off.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

In your photo you do not appear to be a candidate for eyelid surgery at this point--possibly in another decade or so. In the meantime, you may try Botox in the crow's feet to give the appearance of a wider eye, and to raise your brows and upper lids.
