I want Botox on my eyes. 15 years ago I had my eye socket broken and have metal pins and plates around my eye. Is this safe?

That is perfectly safe. The plates are much deeper and in contact with facial bones. The muscles around the eyes where botox is injected are relatively superficial and should not be an issue.

Thank you for sharing your question. It would be safe to have Botox as long as it is injected by a specialist. Hope this helps.

When Botox is used around the eyes, it will relax the muscle that causes wrinkles around the eye. The Botox will no affect anything else, so I would see no reason why a Botox treatment could not be done in someone with metal pins and plates from a broken eye socket.

I think it would be totally safe as long as you are receiving treatment from a trained physician who is familiar with botulinum toxins.

Hello and thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about your experience. Metal plates/screws should not interfere with crows feet botox injections. Good luck to you!

Hello and thank you for your question. I don’t see any reason as to why you cant have Botox since the injections aren’t very deep and wont interfere with metal pins/plates. Best wishes.
