Bunny line Botox gone bad (Photo)

Botox injected along the side of the nose will not cause any issues with your tonsils. There is no chance that there is a correlation. However, maybe you aren't describing this correctly. Tonsils are in the back of your mouth on each side of your tongue. On your photo, you are circling the alafacial groove or the area where the bottom of your nose meets your cheek. If you have an issue there, then that would be completely different. Either way, I'd highly suggest you see your doctor. I'm sure she, like most of us, would truly like to know when a patient has a concern so we can help them. Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

I am so sorry that you are having trouble with tonsil stones. They can be very painful. There is no relationship between being treated with botox to your "bunny lines" /sides of your nose and tonsil stones. It would be my recommendation to get a second opinion on treatment of these tonsil stones. In the future it would also be my recommendation to be treated with botox from a board certified plastic surgery center. I hope this helps and that you get to felling better soon.

It is unlikely that Botox caused problems with your tonsils. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer

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

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. 

This typically is not a normal effect. Best would be to consult with another specialist to properly evaluate the situation.

This is not likely a known complication but you should see a board certified plastic surgeon who may be able to assess your botox needs.

Hello Missyp79,Tonsil stones have no relationship to Botox treatment.  I would recommend you continue to follow up with your ENT regarding your tonsil stones to receive appropriate treatment.  However, Botox has no ability to cause tonsil problems regardless of the injection site. I hope this helps and good luck.  

Treatment of the bunny lines with Botox is a safe procedure and the Botox dose not migrate in the manner you are describing and did not have anything to do with your current issues

Treating bunny lines with botox does not lead to sinus or tonsil problems and most definitely not to formation of any Stones. What you're seeing might either be a small bruise or something that you've always had but simply never noticed or paid attention to. I would not worry about it and good luck from New York City
