My injector (an ENT dr who owns an Aesthetics practice) put 4 units of Botox into my right nose/eye area without telling me first. It migrated and within 2 days I had and still do have (5 weeks out) tonsil stones and pain in that whole nasal area. I have never had ANY tonsil problems and am 38. Will this go away over time or did she do permanent damage????

Answer: Botox gone bad? First, BOTOX does not migrate distally and so there is no causal effect with tonsil stones here. Next, 4 units of BOTOX is a very small amount and nothing that should cause anything more than temporarily softening of muscle movement on the top of your nose. My suggestion would be to follow up with your doctor and let them know your concerns. There is more going on here than just the BOTOX.I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Botox affecting the tonsils Thank you for your question and I apologize that you had a negative experience with Botox. I'm not sure that the symptoms you are experiencing are related to the Botox injections. Still, my professional opinion is that you consult with an experienced physician or return to the injector to discuss your concerns if the symptoms persist.
