Botox side effects are typically minimal, even if they occur, they can be treated easily. You can avoid the side effects of Botox by simply not having unnecessary amounts of Botox placed at the initial or repeat injection time.
The key precaution that you can take before getting Botox treatment to minimize risks is to get the treatment from a qualified surgeon.
Sometimes, Botox can cause double vision, clots, bruising, droopiness of the eyes, and headaches, but these are all usually temporary. In studies of Botox for cosmetic use, the most common side effects include:
- Nausea in about 3% people
- Muscle weakness in up to 2% people
- Heartburn or indigestion in about 1% people

- Droopy eyelids in about 3% people
- Facial pain in up to 2% people
- Tooth problems in about 1% people

Soreness at the site of the injection can be reduced by placing an ice pack. If you won’t get any relief by placing ice pack, you can take medicines like Acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Headaches that come after receiving Botox can resolve themselves within 1-2 days. Symptoms like body weakness, muscle soreness and difficulty in swallowing usually disappear themselves in a short time.
Droopy eyelids that happen due to the migration of the toxins to other areas from the injected site can disappear after 2-3 weeks. Some care should be taken after receiving the treatment, such as avoid rubbing the injected site for 12 hours after receiving the treatment or lie down for 3-4 hours.
