My neurologist recommended Botox injections for my chronic migraines, which has me a little worried. I'm scared about the aesthetic aspect. Does Botox for migraine change your face or facial expressions noticeably?

My daughter-in-law got botox injections for her severe chronic migraine last year. Her face looks completely natural and normal, there is no change at all because the medicine is injected into specific nerve points, not for cosmetic filling.

I know how desperate one feels to cure migraine pain, even ready to try botox. Don't worry, it doesn't change your facial features because they target the head and neck muscles. Meanwhile, try applying a cold compress to your forehead during attacks, it really helps soothe the pain.

No, migraine botox is injected around the hairline and neck, so it won't change your facial shape or look.

I got my migraine treatment at a reputed neurology hospital in Mumbai. Before the procedure, the doctor clearly explained that the doses are different and won't affect my facial expressions. Always get this done by a qualified neurologist, not a beauty clinic.
