How long after a hair transplant can Botox be injected behind the ear?

rayman123Aug 17, 2016
I had a hair transplant of 2000 grafts to my temples on the 6th July 2016. Unconnected, I have some aching and spasms around my right ear due to an acoustic neuroma (benign brain tumour) for which I will have 50U of botox into the superior auricular muscle and 50U into the posterior auricular muscle. How long after my hair transplant should I wait before having this botox? Kind regards

Always consult with your doctor before having any medical procedure.  If you have metal (such as staples) it would be an issue with MRI.

If you have diffuse thinning you probably would not be a good candidate for surgery.  You should see a doctor for the right diagnosis.

You should see a doctor for an examination for a better recommendation.  You may need a few thousand grafts as your hair loss will likely get worse over time.
