Botox After Blepharoplasty?

Is there a waiting period recommended for getting Botox after Blepharoplasty? I am only 3 weeks post op, but I'm anxious to get started.

A: Botox after eyelid surgery: It depends.

Use of Botox® is like many other procedures, many things go into a decision of when and how to use it properly. In your case, it depends on what was done at the time of the blepharoplasty and where you want to use it. You should not need it in the “crow’s feet” area, as the blepharoplasty should have taken care of this area. If you wish to lift the corner of the eye, or reduce the wrinkles between the eyebrows, and nothing was done in these areas, then you could, if performed carefully with knowledge of your procedure, have Botox® in these areas almost in conjunction with the procedure. In addition, there is no problem with using it at any time in any other area other than peri-ocular.
