Can Botox Injections Cause Puffy Cheeks?

0 votes
My cheeks began to swell a lot after my first Botox treatment to treat the wrinkles on my eyes.  Is this a normal side effect?  How long does this last?

This may be caused by the spread of the paralysis from the site of the injection. This is only temporary and usually disappears after one or two weeks. If the swelling do not subside after 1-2 weeks, you have to consult your doctor.
