I have Graves' disease with the eye involvement - can I still use Botox or dysport in my glabelar region?

July 27, 2015
Asked By:pam1042 in Katy, TX

I had radioactive iodine treatment 8 months ago which triggered the eye problems buldging. The buldging is caused my inflammation behind the eyeball and I didn't know if my body would produce antibodies to the Botox and cause more inflammation to the eyeballs.
