Could Botox exacerbate dry eye symptoms?

Hello, I've been contemplating getting Botox injections in my forehead and between my eyebrows. However, I do have dry eyes, and I'm concerned about whether it might worsen this condition. Several years ago, I had Botox in my forehead and experienced severe side effects for approximately two weeks, including nausea, dizziness, headaches, and a heavy sensation in my head and eye sockets. At that time, dry eyes weren't an issue for me. I'm wondering if using a smaller dose could potentially reduce these side effects? My primary goal is to lift the tails of my brows.

hello, no it will not cause the dry eyes. it may dry your forehead though. for some people botox may cause headache and heaviness which paracetamol may help.
