I am having Botox and some fillers next week. I am 52 and have some pretty deep lines between my eyes, on my forehead and from my nose down to the corners of my mouth.I am a life long migraine sufferer, and I also take 0.25 mg of Xanax sometimes 2x per day for panic disorder ( thus the lines and wrinkles). Will this effect my migraines? ( as in will they get worse our more frequent?) And is it ok to be on Xanax when you are having these products? Thank you.

Not Botox but Kenalog.
It is the nasopalatine nerve that is irritated. You should have a physician give you about 5mg of kenalog in that nerve area and that should resolved the inflammation and thus the pain in 2 days. The effect will last for up to 3 months.

You should put your mind at ease. Botox and fillers were not related to any toxic conditions. Most of the morbidities related to these products are minimal and are operator dependent. Best of luck!
The answer is - it depends. I would be hesitant about any doctor without formal training in Botox and filler injections. If the eye doctor you choose has formal training and experience in performing such injections, you should be just fine.
