I'm obese and carry fat in my face. Can I still get Botox for a smooth forehead/reduce wrinkles? (photos)

April 12, 2022

I'm 33, 5'2 and have gained nearly 100lbs in the last 7 years putting me at 250 (morbidly obese).While im trying to lose the weight (thyroid meds, nutritionist), it's still going slowly and I'm noticing aging in my face. Sadly, I'm one of those unfortunate people who carry excess weight in their face so my lower half/double chin is enormous & I know botox can't help that disaster. I was hoping however that botox could help smooth my forehead and eye wrinkles. I know it
