Welcome Misslady!I did not see a contraindication for using Botox in your case. Seek an expert injector/physician. Good luck! Dr. Aldo

A majority of patients can still get Botox (or Dysport) after thyroid surgery. However, each patient is unique. Plastic surgeons and dermatologists review past medical and surgical history before cosmetic treatments.Best,Dr. Chaboki

Stephen Giordano, DO · Answer

Yes, it is ok to get Botox after Thyroidectomy.  In fact, with a little luck you might metabolize it a little slower making the effect last longer!  Best of luck, Dr. Giordano

Good afternoon,I see no contradictions with your medical history that would prevent you from getting botox injections. Consult your local physician and plastic surgeon for a more comprehensive answer.Thanks and have a nice day.

Jason Brett Lichten, MD · Answer

There is no contraindication to getting botox with a history of thryoid or lung surgery.  Consult with a plastic surgeon to figure out your options.

Kyle S. Choe, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes. You can certainly get botox. I would consult with a facial plastic surgeon and receive your treatment.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

The surgeries you mentioned would not preclude you from having Botox.  It is best to mention your intentions to your doctor to get clearance before proceeding just to take the safe route.  Best wishes.

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

Your prior surgeries are not a contraindication for Botox treatment. I would however discuss you medical history with your injecting physician prior to treatment.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

There are no contraindications with Botox with your listed medical problems.  However, I would consult your treating physician to confirm that you are medically cleared for Botox.  Please keep us posted. Best, Dr. Green

Botox should be fine to get after you have had lung and thyroid surgery as long as it is used in FDa approved locations.
