Hi...
yes.... BOTOX can be used in you. But please go to trained doctors. As long as your other liver function test are normal and there is no prolongation of bleeding and clotting time you should be able to get it done.
Botox acts locally and when given properly by trained doctors would not get absorbed into the blood stream. So should not be a problem. Please get you liver function tests and tell you doctor about it so that he or she can take the necessary precautions.
