Wait till after pregnancy for Botox for wrinkles around the eyes

Brooke R. Seckel, MD answers: Wait until after pregnancy for Restylane?

I'm a 30-ish mother who plans to have another baby. I am seriously unhappy with the wrinkles around my eyes. I was considering having Restylane or some other type of facial injection to treat these lines. I don’t feel comfortable asking my physician if I should wait until after giving birth to give myself a wrinkle erasing.

Always wait until after pregnancy before having injection of any material that is not deemed necessary for your or the child's health. No one can tell you for certain that restylane is safe during pregnancy.

Crows feet--the wrinkles around your eyes repsond much better to Botox than to any filler such as restylane, Juvederm or other soft tissue filler.
