Is cosmetic Botox recommended while recuperating from a bone fracture (TPF)? (Photo)

March 10, 2016
Asked By:icrager in El Paso, TX

This is week five of my TPF recuperation process and it has been 4 months since my last Botox treatment. I don't want to let anymore time go by, but I am also afraid it might affect the bone healing process. Please advice.
