Eye twitching after Botox. (Photo)

Thank you for your question.It is unlikely that botox would cause twitching. What likely has happened, is that botox has worked in certain areas but may not have had an effect in the area that appears to "twitch". You should talk to your injector and discuss what happened.Best of luck.

It is unlikely that the twitching that you experienced is related to the Botox injection. Usually the type of eyelid twitching you described is related to feelings of nervousness or a condition of dry eye.  If these symptoms recur I would consult with an ophthalmologist. 

Thank you for your question and photograph.  I am sorry to hear of your symptoms after your last Botox treatment.  In most cases Botox is used to paralyze nerves preventing muscle contractions and twitching.  Your symptoms would be unusual for Botox and likely there is another explanation.  Talk to your injector about your symptoms but it should be safe for you to have another treatment without these issues.  Best wishes. 

Thank you for sharing your question. Botox diminishes muscle "twitching". It would not have caused this problem. Most likely the problem was coincidental. You should be fine with future injections of Botox. Good luck,

Botox wouldn't cause twitching it would get rid of it.  This is likely due to stress but if you are concerned please see a neurologist or opthomologist.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is difficult to know if the Botox you received to your forehead and glabella had any direct cause of the twitching you had around your right eye.  Depending on the exact location of the injections, I would generally say that treating the forehead and glabella with Botox should not affect the eye.  My recommendation would be to try the Botox again and just see if it happens again.  

I would be very surprised if the eye twitching you describe was a direct effect of the Botox injections you received.  If you continue to experience twitches (i.e., fasciculations), I would consult with your primary care physician.

Eye twitching is most often caused by nerves or some other neurologic condition and less likely Botox. I would consult with a neurologist before proceeding with more Botox.  Best, Dr. Green

Twitching of an eye is not something that happens from Botox injections.  If anything, Botox should prevent twitching of a muscle.  I suppose there might be an injury to a nerve from the needle; however that is grasping at straws.  I think it would be highly unlikely that the Botox itself was responsible for the twitching eye.  I would give Botx at least one more try and see if it happens again.
