I just had a NSTEMI and am on multiple blood thinners that I must remain on for one year before having invasive procedures . I would like to get Botox , but I worry the blood thinners will cause the Botox to disseminate to other areas.

Answer: Toxin spreading + blood thinners helloan excellent question. although extremely rare, theoretically any botulinum toxin injection could spread to adjacent areas if there is a significant bruise during the procedure and/or pressure is applied to the treated area immediately after the injection. this would be especially important in the periocular area (around the eyes). however, an impeccable technique by your physician should easily avoid this very rare potential issue.
