Side effects of botox?

[shortyvms]

Do you know the side affects from botox? I cant stand these forehead wrinkles.  I think they have aged me by ten years. I would be willing to try it if the side affects aren't to bad.

Although Botox is generally considered fairly safe, there are some risks. If too much toxin is injected, for example, or if it is injected into the wrong facial area, a person can end up with droopy eyelid muscles (ptosis) that could last for weeks.

Other common side effects are headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, and nausea. Less frequent adverse reactions include pain in the face, redness at the injection site, and muscle weakness. These reactions are generally temporary, but could last several months.


The FDA recommends that Botox Cosmetic be injected no more frequently than once every three months, and that the lowest effective dose should be used.
