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: Bunny Botox gone bad 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.

Answer: Botox and tonsil stones 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.

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.
