Am I contraindicated for botox injection?

passsionfruitJun 21, 2022
I have anti AT1R-, anti ETAR-, and anti a-1-adrenergic antibodies. Does this make me contraindicated for botox injections? Or is it the anti-muscarinic cholinergic receptor antibodies that make you a bad candidate for botox? I want to have botox in my depressor anguli oris muscle, and read it´s usually 3-5 units. Is this considered a low dose?

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...

Thanks for your question! In short- no, botox does not cause upper eyelid swelling or lymphatic drainage. However, botox can drop the eyebrows and can result in hooded upper eyelids which may be what is happening here
