Answer: Should be fine You should be fine since Botox works superficially. However, I would definitely discuss first with your doctor just to be sure. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: You should have no issues receiving Botox. Your concerns are understandable, but I think you should be fine receiving BOTOX. BOTOX works by paralyzing facial muscles and has little effect on the other organ systems in your body. Having received two liver transplants, it’s important that you review every medical decision you make in person with your doctor. While there may be no immediately apparent issues with receiving an injectable cosmetic treatment, you don’t want to take chances with your health. Make sure you go to a qualified surgeon for your Botox instead of using a DIY method, and speak with him or her about your medical concerns.

Answer: Your transplanted liver shouldn’t cause a problem with BOTOX® Thanks for your BOTOX® question. As far as injections and your transplanted organ, BOTOX® injections shouldn’t have any adverse effects caused by your liver. Fortunately, BOTOX® is not broken down by the liver, but rather it dissipates and breaks down into amino acids that are then either recycled for use in other proteins or are excreted by the kidneys. That said, if your liver is a concern, it’s always best to discuss with this with your provider during a consultation. He or she will be able to give you personalized information and answer any questions you might have regarding BOTOX® injections.
