What risks are there for Botox of the pec minor and scalene muscles?

Question

Are there potential risks of difficulty breathing/swallowing or any negative postural changes with either a pec minor or scalene Botox injection. If there are any complications how long would they last? Thanks

As it has been mentioned numerous times before, this is a forum to answer cosmetic questions and your question does not concern any cosmetic treatments.

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

There are risks and some are hey not much different than risks for cosmetic Botox and others, e.g. injecting scalene muscles can be dramatic since there are spaces there called the thoracic outlet where large nerve bundles of the brachial plexus exit the chest. Having said that, this is a cosmetic forum and you should address the medical use of Botox with the injecting doctor, especially since you have failed to indicate why you are getting this treatment. Dr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
