Eye Swelling After Botox

December 26, 2008
Asked By:jllupo in Chicago, IL

I recently had Botox for the first time. The doctor injected on my forehead, crow's feet and along sides my nose. Since then, my right eye is completely swollen on the upper lid and the inner corner. Could Botox have caused this? This has never happened to me before, and it's just happening on the right eye.
