Just as there may be benefits to the procedure(s) proposed, medical and surgical procedures also involve risks. These risks include allergic reaction and infection. I also realize that there are particular risks associated with the procedure(s) proposed for me and that these risks include, but are not limited to:
Minor short-term complications:
Numbness and tingling at the injection site
Nausea or headache
Eyelid, eyebrow or facial weakness or drooping
Mild swelling or bruising
Flu-like symptoms
No improvement after undergoing treatment
Allergic reaction is uncommon
There are no known long-term risks associated with Botox injection treatment.
Keep in mind that there is no substitute for an open and honest discussion with your own surgeon/physician regarding this procedure.
You should also be given any available treatment alternatives to this procedure by your doctor. Be sure to discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
