Can I get Botox and filler if I’ve had Bells Palsy?

Asked By:jr2935 in Chicago, IL

I’m 41 and getting crows feet around eyes that I would like to Botox and or fillers as well as fillers around my mouth. I had Bells Palsy about 5 years ago, it lasted about a month I believe. I’ve had body surgeries (breast augmentation and BBL). But is it true that if I go near my face with a needle (Botox/fillers) then Bell’s palsy can come back for a while or be even worse and possibly stay paralyzed permanently?
