Botox
Q Would fillers/Botox be an option for me after I suffered anaphylaxis years ago?
A

Amoxicillin (or Penicillins in general) belong to a group of antibiotics called beta-lactams which you will want to avoid given your severe allergy history. However Botox and Hyaluronic acid type fillers are not antibiotics or related to amoxicillin/penicillin and are generally well tolerated. I hope you find a good provider and enjoy your outcome!

Q Can Botox cause Ptosis?
A

Although uncommon and generally avoidable ptosis can occur when Botox is placed or migrates to the incorrect muscle near the upper outer orbital rim (same can occur with Xeomin or Dysport). Ptosis generally lasts 3-6 weeks (not as long as the actual Botox lasts). Iopidine drops can be prescribed to reduce the effects of ptosis until it resolves. Good luck and sorry to hear this happened!
