I had a retinal detachment 5 years ago -- is this any reason not to try botox ? It would be a first-time use of botox around the eyes.
Answer: Botox after retinal surgeryno Botox should have no effect on the retinal surgery and its integrity. It works on the muscles in the face and not on the inner structures of the eye. As always, see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for evaluation and treatment.
