As sinus headaches are caused by negative pressure causing the bony layers of the sinuses to be pressed in and the nerve endings transmit this force as pain, Botox which lessens muscle contraction would not be expected to minimize sinus headaches.
Botox works great for headaches caused by muscle tension problems. A true sinus headache would not go away wtih Botox. However, there are many headaches that patients and physicians refer to as "sinus headaches" that have nothing to do with the sinuses. This may be the case with your headaches. I would be evaluated by a facial plastic surgeon with background training in otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat). He or she will be able to evaluate your sinuses to determine if your sinuses may be causing your symptoms. If they are found to not be the cause of your symptoms, then, if indicated, this surgeon could also perform the Botox injections.
Unfortunately there is no indication that Botox can relieve sinus headaches. The main use of Botox in treatment of headaches has been focused on Migraines for which it seems to work well. However, if you do suffer from sinus headaches there are various options now available for you. You first need to be evaluated by an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist and have a CT scan of your sinuses. Your ENT might then be able to offer you non-invasive procedures such as balloon sinuplasty to open up the sinuses and relieve the pressure.
Botox is not used to treat sinus headaches. In some instances it can be very helpful for migraines, but that is in select patients.

If your vertical crease is extending from the eyelash part of the eyelid, or slightly higher, upwards to the eyebrow, then you probably will not obtain benefit from Botox injections at the crow's feet (outer eyelid) and Botox can cause a significant drop of the upper eyelid if injected in...
Thank you for your question! Botox will wear off over 3-4 months. Using your facial muscles will not accelerate this. If you are having issues with drooping upper eyelids, there are drops you can get to counteract this, but otherwise, time is what you need. Best of luck!
I doubt that this is from the Botox 10 days ago. I would be most suspicious of a possible impending Herpes Zoster (shingles) outbreak. Shingles begin with pain several days before the blisters come out. And it is always unilateral (on one side). Get it checked out.
Botox is safe to use before, during or after surgery- but it is generally recommended you wait 3 weeks before or after Surgery to undego injections. The most important factor to consider is that the injector you choose is qualified expert who understands, in depth, the anatomy of the face.
G'day Hails, The lip should only recieve about one unit of Botox in each of the four quadrants for the treatment of smokers lines. Even at top price, 4 units of Botox may run about $60. Sounds like you have been given too much Botox in your lips. Unfortunately...
