Will Having Botox Worsen Existing Sinus Problems?

December 20, 2009
Asked By:geraldine33 in UK

I would really love to try Botox but am feeling rather apprehensive because I have had for a number of years chronic sinus problems. I have also been on a steroid nasal spray for number of years and basically now accept the fact I will always be plagued with sinus problems. So with regards to my medical history, would Botox worsen this condition?
