The discomfort associated with Botox injections is negligible. Most patients say they feel a quick squeeze. Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, is also included in certain formulations to improve patient comfort. In rare cases, Botox can cause:
- Swelling, bruising, or minor pain at the injection site
- An asymmetrical smile, when administered incorrectly
- Watery or dry eyes
- Infection at the injection site
All practitioners at The Chicago Dental Studio are highly trained and experienced to administer Botox to patients. We work closely with our patients to ensure they achieve their desired results with little to no side effects.
