Question

Hello, I had a operation when I was baby on my head around 30 years ago I have metal plates and screws in my head and forehead.. will it be safe to get Botox injections in my forehead with plates and screws? Thank you

Yes you should be able to proceed with Botox treatment even though you have metal plates and screws.  I've included a video about neuromodulators that I hope you find helpful.  Be sure to see an expert injector for treatment.

Having metal plates and screws in the head would have no effect on a Botox treatment in the forehead or face.  And the Botox would not affect the plates or screws as well.
