Can I Still Get Botox After a Stroke?

Hi Boogie,
I would speak with your neurologist before having anything done.  Most likely it would be fine to have Botox in your face 4 years after a stroke that you have recovered from, but still get clearence from your  "stroke" doctor first.  Good luck and be well.

Botox is used to temporarily paralyze the underlying muscle to smooth out the overlying skin. This is most effective around the eyes for the "crow's feet," between the eyebrows for the frown lines, and in the forehead for wrinkles.  Botox will not affect your previous stroke symptoms and will not cause you to have another stroke.  I often use Botox in patients who previous had strokes to help restore some balance to their face.  Good luck.

Since it has been over five years, for the most part, I believe you are okay to receive Botox injections. However, I would recommend an input from your neurologist on the matter before proceeding.

Hello Boogie. It should be fine to have Botox as long as you have fully recovered from the stroke, do not have any other neurological disorders and have the approval the physician that treated you for the stroke.  Good luck.

Botox cosmetic can be used on the face as long as it is ok with your medical doctor. It should have no effect on your previous stroke other than limiting motion of the muscles treated with the Botox.
