If you're suffering from chronic sinusitis, then you should consult a board-certified ENT for evaluation and management. BOTOX treatments will not have any effect on your sinus condition.I hope this is helpful for you.
Although you haven't indicated where on the face, or body, you're interested in treating with Botox, there shouldn't be a problem with the sinusitis.

Botox works un the facial muscles. Sinus problems are caused by vasomotor or allergic factors working on your mucous membranes. There is no connection. The only problem I can see would be injecting Botox too close to your nostrils and paralyzing them (unlikely event). . This may...
