Bad Taste in Mouth After Botox to Forehead

Question

should I have a fumey toxin taste in my mouth and coming through my nostrils if receiving botox in forehead?

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

Are you sure you are not tasting the prep or topical anesthetic on your tongue? Perhaps this was passed by your fingers touching your forehead. Otherwise I cannot see a reason why Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) would cause a funny taste in your mouth.

Scott Trimas, MD · Answer

The most common side effects from botox are temporary eyelid or eyebrow drooping, headache, pain over injection site, incomplete effect. I have never heard of this occurring but I suspect it would be temporary. If it persists, you might want to call the company Allergan who makes botox and see if they have any other information for you.

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

I have never had a patient  mention this nor read that this has been noted as a side effect. It may never happen again. Possibly if some of the botox were injected in a vessel a quick absorbtion might create some symptoms that are unusual but temporary.

Robert Mounsey, MD · Answer

Botox is a neuromodulator the weakens muscles and allows the overlying skin to have a more smooth appearance. Most complications are related to the injection itself hematoma, bruising or some unexpected weakness of muscles surrounding the injection site (eyelid droop, asymmetry etc.) The problem you describe is not common.

Parham Ganchi, PhD, MD · Answer

This is very unusual.  I have not had any of my patients mention this.  You should check with the doctor who injected the Botox.  Good luck!

This can not happen. Call the injector immediately! Why bother this blog? On the posting forum we can answer, guide, relate but to immediate situations the patient should always return to the treating dooctor.
