Are there any complications due to Botox being injected into a vein that I should be concerned about?

Asked By:KMichael in Perth, ND

I had botox for the first time today. The doctor injected a vein in my forehead twice. The vein is currently raised, painful and I have a headache. The injection sites into it are visible. There is no pain at any other injection site. Are there any complications I need to be concerned about due to the vein being injected with Botox?
