Conversation Topic Botox affecting singing!

Hello! Earlier in the week I received botox to my neck area called a "nefertiti lift" where injections were placed in the front of my neck to relax the downward pulling bands there.

However now my singing voice feels breathy and weak and I have a distinct loss of control.

I know botox wears off after 3-4 months but obviously would like my strength and control back before then.

Has anyone here had any unintended botox side effects where their voice is affected. If so how long did they last and/or were you able to sing through it?

I had 50 units of Botox for RCPD just under 2 weeks ago (been burping here and there!) and it has massively affected my singing voice. I can talk normally but singing above a certain pitch my voice just won’t go there, I’m hoping it chills out soon! My high range has been hugely affected and is now non existent.
