I'm 29 and over the past year I have gotten 20 units of Botox in my forehead 3 times and about 2 weeks later I always wake up to a broken blood vessel in my right eye. It takes a week to go away and it's painless and I have no other side effects but should I be concerned? I'm considering getting a few units for crows feet and bunny lines but I worry I will end up with more broken blood vessels. What do you think?

Answer: Should I stop getting Botox in my forehead if it is causing broken blood vessels in eye?
There could be a little dispersion from the injection sight because of the trauma, but nothing to worry about overall.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
Since the masseter is so large it takes a bit of time--sometimes a couple of months to see the complete results and often takes more than one injection session before the results are what you want. Make sure you are seeing a board certified dermatologist with experience in cosmetic procedures
