Can I have Botox and possibly filler if I have Wegener's granulomatosis?

serhodeMay 9, 2020
I am interested in Botox and possibly filler. Before I scheduled I checked with the dermatologist’s office and they said they would ask and schedule if it was okay but I thought I would ask. I’ve been in “remission” since 2012 - I’m not on any medications, I only get Rituxan infusions about every 6 months. I also have subglottic stenosis from the Wegener's but that is managed with steroid injections into the airway. Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your question and photos. There is no reason to get more Botox injections until you feel like you are ready for them, but I am starting to see a slight bulge in the masseter area, especially on the left. You are correct in the assumption that additional treatment will slim the...

Hello, thank you for your question. Botox would not help you with your condition, there are specific treatments for this. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a specialist for proper evaluation.
