I am suffering from Gustatory Sweating (my face starts to sweat when I eat) and I was wondering if Botox would be able to help me treat this condition. I have read many medical journals and I found out that since Botox is used for hyperhidrosis (excessinve sweating) of the armpits, hands, and feet, Botox A injections can be used to treat my condition as well. I consulted a doctor, who sadly, told me that she could only administer such on my forehead, as it would give a paralyzed look if put anywhere else on my face. My problem is that most of the upper half of my face (nose, surrounding area, temples, and forehead) is afflicted. Is this true, or would a special technique be necessary to get this condition treated?
