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

You do not have to avoid any foods before or after Botox treatment, according to any studies. One thing to keep in mind is to minimize exposure to medicines that may increase bleeding or bruising prior to getting your Botox treatment (such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and even some vitamins may...
I'm so sorry to hear that you are having problems after Botox. Botox is historically an extremely safe and reliable treatment. The problems you are having should completely resolve if they are from the Botox. Botox can not cause a permanent issue. I'd highly recommend you speak with your...
Hi there, and thanks for your question. Because of the way that BOTOX® works, it isn’t likely to help with the problem that you’ve described. BOTOX® can smooth away lines and wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that contract to form those wrinkles, so if injected into the corne...
If the puffiness below the eyes is most noticed during smiling, it is typically from contraction of the orbicularis muscle (under eye muscle). Usually a small amount of botox (1-2 units) to start with is all that is needed. If the patient with bulging below the eyes has any...
