Popular cosmetic procedure can have side effects:

Botox

While Botox is approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat excessive sweating by being injected into the armpits, palms or soles of the feet, the cosmetic use is much more popular. According to medical experts, the risks associated with the procedure are mostly related to technique, including redness, swelling, bruising and some discomfort.

According to studies, roughly 1 percent of people who receive an approved dosage of Botox experience “eyelid drooping,” caused by the injection accidentally seeping into areas not intended for the muscle-relaxing effect.

    I’ve injected Botox into hundreds of patients, and not one of them suffered from the complication of drooping eyelids. I personally think that as long as you obtained the Botox from official sources (i.e. no cheap stuff from dodgy countries), and learn the proper injection techniques, there’s very little that can go wrong actually. Heck, in the UK even nurses are allowed to do it!

    In my experience, clients who receive Dysport (also botulinum toxin but marketed by another company) are more prone to drooping eyelids than those who receive Botox, because Dysport diffuses more into the area of skin surrounding the injection.
