Dana Delaney and Botched Botox?

Actress Dana Delaney has revealed in the current Prevention Magazine that several years ago she underwent a botched Botox job:

“Something nobody ever talks about is doctor error. Seven years ago, I had never even heard about Botox. My dermatologist was saying, ‘You should try it.’ He injected my forehead, hit a nerve, and created a huge hematoma,” Dana told Prevention magazine’s November 2010 issue. “The nerve has been dead ever since. It affected the muscle in my right eye, so my eye has started to droop a little bit.”

That’s strange.  There’s no reason why injecting Botox, hitting a nerve, and creating a hematoma would create permanent nerve damage.  The effects of Botox are temporary, lasting 4 months on average, and a hematoma (blood collection) has nothing to do with nerve damage.  I wouldn’t know how to create a ‘dead’ nerve if I tried.  That’s a new one to me.  I think there is a possibility she has come to a false conclusion.

As a star of one of my all-time favorite movies, Tombstone, she can’t do any wrong in my eyes.  And… I think she looks amazing.

    Or, more likely, that is the story her doctor told her. He/She was probably thinking Dana’d never discuss the story publicly so there was no risk in telling her this BS filled story.

    you need to speak to the doctor and fully understand the process and side effects before doing it.

    Sure, eyelid droop is a possible side-effect of Botox, but wouldn’t be permanent. As we age, our lids start to droop and they don’t droop symmetrically. If she has droop, it’s not perceptible to me. It looks like her frown lines are currently Botoxed, so it doesn’t appear to have permanently put her off Botox.

    I once had a shot of epinephrine, administered by an intern, that resulted in a severed nerve which left a large patch of skin from mid-thigh to my knee, “dead” to feeling. There was still sub-cutaneous feeling, but even that feels weird when some one other than myself brushes my thigh. Thirty-eight years later, there’s been no regeneration. I believe Ms.Delaney’s problem isn’t from the botox but from administration of the needle itself & simple bad luck that it severed a nerve!
