Bad reaction to botox

[LemonDrop]

I'm thinking about getting botox to take care of some fine lines around my mouth and eyes. I've had bad reactions to flu shots and general anesthesia in the past few years, including arm and facial swelling. Does that mean I'm more susceptible to bad reactions from botox too?

general anaesthesia and flu shots use different drugs to botox. If you are worried, you could have allergy patch testing carried out to see if you have any allergies to Botox.
