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. If there is an acute infective episode, then I would avoid it. Otherwise, the effect of Botox on the facial muscles should not exacerbate the chronic sinusitis. Please check with your physician who is treating you for this.
I would agree with Dr. Rand. I do not see any contraindications but would avoid it if actively infected or congested. The Botox should work on the superficial muscles of the face.
the only contraindication for infections is in active infections particularly in the skin through which you are injecting. no problem with sinusitis, chronic
Patients with sinusitis may undergo Botox injections as long as there is no acute infections in which case an ENT specialist should evaluate them first, clear the infection and then Botox may be injected.
A chronic sinus condition should have no effect on the administration of Botox. Similarly, Botox should have no affect on your sinus condition. On the other hand, somebody with any severe acute infection in the facial area, including acute sinusitis, should wait until the infection is cleared prior to any facial injections or other facial elective cosmetic treatments.

I would discuss this with your ENT doctor before having these injections. Just to be sure. Usually Botox has no relationship to chronic sinus disease, but why not take the time and receive the blessing from your ENT? Regards.
My simple recommendation is to get your Botox done by a Core Cosmetic Medicine Doctor like a board-certified Dermalogist, Plastic Surgeon, Oculoplastic Surgeon, or Facial Plastic Surgeon (ENT) only and avoid the spas, hair salons and mall quick fix places that dilute Botox and may not even be...
There's no reason to worry about using Botox with your condition. There is no link or contraindication with Botox and sinus conditions and it would not worsen your condition.
Dear Jenn The risk in seeing surgeons for medical services is they often are looking to "up-sell" to a surgical service or alternatively they may undervalue the importance of the smaller services over big procedures. These essential services may be turned over to a nurse or physician...
Normal activities can be resumed immediately after treatment. You should avoid strenuous exercise or massaging the area for 4 hours following treatment
Botox only works about half of the time to raise lateral eyebrows. It looks great when it does work but don't be disappointed if it doesn't do it every time.
This horizontal crease between your eyebrows is almost impossible to completely eliminate. I know that BOTOX is supposed to work wonders for this wrinkle (caused by the procerus muscle), but I have not found that to be the case. I might start with 25u BOTOX to rejuvenate the eyebrows, and then...
