I had box done to my forehead, outer eyebrows (to lift them up) and upper cheeks 30 day ago. Last night I noticed while brushing my teeth that I couldn’t close my mouth properly, and water was dribbling out from the left side, and I couldn’t blink my left eye, I thought I was having a heart attack and went to emergencies and go prescribed steroids and diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. Just curious is Botox could’ve been the cause of this situation even 30 days later.

Hylenex will dissolve the filler but has no effect on the mechanism of action of the Botox. In theory it may cause Botox to dilute or migrate if it is injected in the same area.
If you had a total of only 6 units that is not enough to do much of anything good or bad. if the zygomaticus under the eye was hit with Botox it is possible to look puffy and distorted but the amount is not enough. see melvinelsonmd.net
