6 weeks post Botox, can half your face become numb if you get injected in the axillae?

Asked By:RSMember17289 in Ontario, CA

I got Botox injections in both axillae about 6 weeks ago. Now all of a sudden my left side of my face (from top of lip to top of head) is completely numb. I have tingling in my lip and a dull pain behind my left eye. Been to the ER and they have no clue. Would Botox cause this? Can it travel from axillae to head even after 6 weeks of getting it injected ?
