Abstract

This bibliographical review approaches complications in the use of botulinum toxin in aesthetic procedures. Scientific references were analyzed, including clinical studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The main complications reported were eyelid ptosis, facial asymmetry, unwanted effects on the smile, pain at the injection site, ecchymosis and edema. Despite this, complications are generally of low incidence, mild and transient. The review emphasizes the importance of the health professional's knowledge and experience in the prevention and proper management of these complications. Botulinum toxin continues to be considered a safe and effective treatment when administered correctly.
