Question: I recently saw on TV that Kim Kardashian had a terrible allergic reaction to her Botox injection. Her eye was inflamed and turned black and blue. Is this normal?
Answer: That is not a common response to botox injections. Botox has been in use for many years and has a very good safety record. There are risks such as bruising, headache, and flu like symptoms. Most patients do very well without any complications.
Question: All celebrities these days are ranting and raving about their Botox injections. How will Botox make me look younger?
Answer: Botox works well for motion related or dynamic facial lines. The most common areas on the face for botox injections are between the brows (frown lines), forehead (horizontal lines) and outside of the eyes (crow’s feet) lines. It may make you look younger by helping you to have less facial lines when in motion.
