Is it safe to have Botox in the neck with health conditions? (Photo)

In my opinion, Botox would be a poor choice in that it would not change the appearance of your neck that much. In addition, the rest would be too high.Hope this helps

Hi, thanks for your question. Because Botox is injected into the muscle and not the thyroid gland, Botox treatment should not have any adverse effects on your thyroid function. That said if you have further concerns you should speak to the doctor following your thyroid treatment. You should also disclose your medical history and any medications that you are currently taking to your Botox provider.

Hi Cinzia55508,
Botox is a popular non-surgical treatment that can be used to address bands in the neck and wrinkles associated with facial movements. The treatment is superficial and not injected beneath the neck muscles so would not have an effect on the thyroid gland. While you need to ensure that any health conditions are under control before opting for this treatment, your plastic surgeon may recommend Botox depending on your aesthetic goals and objectives.
With this in mind, remember that Botox affects certain muscles rather than the skin itself. In the images you provided, it seems like you may benefit from a treatment that deals directly with your skin, rather than opting for this injectable. Consult with an experienced physician in your area to get the best results.
Kind regards,
Dr Julian De Silva

Botox can be effective in the neck for relaxing the tight bands of the platysma muscle, and should not have any effect on the thyroid. However, in looking at your photo, your issue is more skin laxity than muscle bands. Save your money and do a facelift rather than Botox for the neck.

Botox is injected very superficially into the muscles of the neck and not near the thyroid gland. This procedure should not affect your thyroid or thyroid function. 

Thank you for your question. Botox is injected into the muscle bands of the neck. These are very superficial and away from the thyroid gland. It should not be a problem for an experienced injector.

Thank you for your question. Botox will not have an effect on thyroid function; even if injected in the neck. Botox will be injected into the neck muscles that cause the vertical bands (platysma muscle) and is not injected into the thyroid. Botox is a neuromodulator and works on relaxing muscles so even if injected close to the thyroid gland, should have no effect on thyroid function. Hope this helps.

Botox is a neuromodulator that targets the muscles that lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles. Since the muscles are not located as deep as the thyroid, your procedure should be safe as long as it is performed by an experienced, board-certified dermatologist. However, it is critical that you disclose your medical history prior to your treatment. Your injector needs to have all the information necessary to tailor your procedure so it is both safe and effective for you. 

Botox is designed to target the muscles that lead to the formation of wrinkles. When it is injected into the neck, it should be done superficially and in small amounts to create a natural result. This process should not go deeply enough to affect your thyroid. However, it is critical to work with an experienced Botox injector who is well-versed on your medical history to ensure your treatment is both safe and successful. 

Hello Cinzia,Botox is safe in people who have thyroid malfunction.   It has no effect on the thyroid. I suggest that you look a alternatives to improve the appearance of your neck.   You will not notice a great deal of change with Botox treatment of your neck.  Based on the photo you show, surgery is a good option for you.  All the best to you,Dr. Nancy de Kleer
