Can Botox cause seizures in someone who has epilepsy?

There is no contraindication for someone to have Botox who has well controlled epilepsy.  It is best to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon or derm.

Hey Zapcat thanks for your question- 



I've never heard of any issues with epilepsy or any other systemic illness with botox. The cosmetic usage of botox is such a small amount that it's not absorbed systemically at any real concentration. 

Make sure that's it's real botox or dysport and not fake products as these have been known to cause some issues. 

Hope this helps and God Bless!

I am not aware of Botox, when used for cosmetic purposes, causing seizures in someone who has epilepsy.  You could also contact Allergan, the producer of Botox, to see if they have have ever heard of any issues with using Botox in people with epilepsy.
