A member asked:
Can botox injected into your vocal cords under ga for abductor type dysphonia do longterm damage?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Not the Botox itself, that will wear off after a while - but a needle could cause some damage- although that is very rare.

No : Botox only lasts 4-6 months, so the effects for dysphonia are temporary.
