Botox muscles before tummy tuck/muscle repair?

I will be going in for a scan of my abs soon to measure the separation. My doctor mentioned that if the muscles were too far apart they may use Botox before surgery to relax the muscles so they can be pulled together. Is this a common practice? How might it affect recovery? Is there an increased risk?
