Myastenia Gravis is a neurological condition that effects the strength of muscles. Botox weakens muscles. The combination of weakness of Botox and Myastenia Gravis can create an over-exaggerated and prolonged result. For this reason, it is not recommended to inject Botox in patients with Myastenia Gravis.I hope this helps.
Dear Iwantbubblebutt:Unfortunately, Botox injections are contraindicated in Myasthenia gravis. I recommend seeing an expert cosmetic physician who can discuss alternate treatment options in softening your forehead lines. Best wishes.
Good Day lwantbubblebutt,Thank you for your question. At our center patients with this neurological condition, no matter what state of stability would not be administered Botox. This would not be recommended. There are safer means to address the wrinkles on your forehead.
A recent study has shown that Botox can spread along nerves to places distant from the injection site. Given this as well as the fact that both botulinum toxin and myasthenia gravis weaken muscles by disrupting the communication between nerves and muscles, it would be unwise to use any form of botulinum toxin.
It is not recommended to get Botox with this type of neurologic disease. You might have a prolonged or exaggerated result from the treatment.
Despite the fact that you are apparently in remission I suggest you not get Botox as it may reactivate your problem
Based on your history, in my practice you would be excluded from consideration for Botox treatment.
Whenever there is a neurological condition it must be cleared by your neurologist before having a cosmetic procedure like Botox. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green

I would agree that you should give it two weeks. However, ultimately the brow lift achieved with botox is limited. Your "marks" appear to be in exactly the right place. Adding more units doesn't usually help much but sometimes it does. Ultimately it won't be enough to make up for the skin laxity...
There are no specific foods to avoid after Botox. Moreso with fillers, where bruising is more likely, I advise avoiding things that thin the blood such as alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, ginseng, green tea & gingko.
