I have has botox in the neck before but I have graves disease. Would it have an effect on my thyroid activity?
Answer: Botox has no effect on the thyroid Botox injections into the neck can create a lifting effect and reduce the banding created by the platysma muscles. It should have no effect on the thyroid gland. The biggest risk of this procedure is causing difficulty swallowing if large doses are used or if injections are carried out too deeply.

Answer: Can Botox effect the thyroid Botox in the neck can work very well for that vertical banding. It is not injected into the thyroid but rather the muscle so it will not affect your thyroid or it's function.Good Luck!Dr. Shah

Answer: Botox does not affect thyroid function Thank you for your question.Botox is injected into the neck, presumably for muscle spasms, or wrinkles (?) rarely It will not affect thyroid function or activity as in Grave's or Hashimoto's disease or other thyroid disorders.
