I would not recommend having Botox or Fillers while breast feeding. The makers of these products will never likely conduct these studies, and thus I don't think you will find an injector who would do this while you are breast feeding.The same would be for those patients who are pregnant. Having said that if a patient came to me and said they were pregnant and recently had an injectable treatment, I would provide reassurance that the likelihood of any adverse event occurring to their baby because of that, however, I would strongly recommend them to pursue any further treatments until after they finish breast feeding.
It’s probably not a goodidea to undergo botox injections while breast feeding for a variety ofreasons. At this time, there’s noscientific studies that have looked at the effect of botox on either the motheror child. For these reasons itwould be extremely difficult to find a provider who would administer botox tosomeone who was either pregnant or breast feeding.
There are no studies to justify the usage of Botox on pregnant or lactating mothers. It is doubtful that you could find someone to inject you with Botox.
While there is no evidence that your baby would be harmed if using Botox while still breastfeeding, you will likely not find a physician (at least an ethical one) willing to inject you. It's too much of a liability to provide a cosmetic (unnecessary) treatment at a time when you are still breastfeeding. Wait a couple months just to be safe.
Most doctors avoid administering Botox to pregnant or lactating patients. It might be safe, but it is difficult to design an ethical study that would investigate this question.
