BOTOX & THE VOCALIST
MBADC: Botox--can that affect a singer?
BA: We oftentimes use Botox for patients who have spasmodic dysphonia and some
vocal disorders to paralyze the vocal chord. And if the Botox is injected into the vocal
chord, I think it would affect singers to a significant degree. But most of the time the
Botox is used around the eye region and forehead region, and in those areas I don’t
think that would have any effect on the professional singer.
