Is it safe to have Botox if you have had thyroid malfunction or does it have an effect on thyroid activity?

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.

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.

Thank you for your question. Thyroid issues are not a contraindication for Botox injections, as the medication does not work deeply enough to affect the thyroid. Small amounts of Botox can be beneficial for reducing the appearance of horizontal banding on the neck. However, there may be other treatments that would also work well for you. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist. Through an in-person assessment, you should be able to come up with a personalized treatment plan that will produce the best possible results for you.

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. You may find that your surgeon recommends a different procedure, or a unique blend of procedures to address your neck laxity and create a more contoured appearance. In fact, you seem like an ideal candidate for the laser-assisted weekend neck lift procedure which can improve the appearance and shape of your neck within a weekend through a combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures. Best wishes,
