Is Botox safe with Horner's Syndrome?

Question

I was just recently diagnosed with Horner's Syndrome and was wondering if it was safe to get cosmetic Botox, injections for the wrinkles in my forehead? I'm worried it will make my right eyelid even more droopy?

While Botox should not be used in patients with certain underlying neurologic conditions, there is no contraindication to using Botox in the setting of Horner's syndrome.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

It is perfectly safe to use in your case.  Ptosis of the lid can be made to look a little better with a brow lift and not too much Botox in the forehead.
