can you use botox after having keloid surgery?
Perhaps you could help me with the following Concern;
If I had Botox, a week or so, prior to Lasik Eye Surgery,
Will there or can there be any side affects, and/or will it take me longer to heal.
I have bruises and I am also experiencing Swellness on my face and the healing process is taking a lot longer than I anticipated.
Please advise ASAP!
Thank you,
