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.
Answer: Botox after blepharoplasty Usually there is no reason not to do Botox after blepharoplasty. However after lower blepharoplasty, particularly when the canthus has been tightened or a cheeklift has been performed, it is best to wait 3+ months. The reason for this is that some lower eyelid surgeries performed through the lower eyelid, or cheeklift procedures can weaken the lower fibers of the orbicularis muscle. Botox could further weaken the orbicularis fibers, causing a lag in the lower eyelid and drooping. It is best to talk to your surgeon to see if any of this applies to your procedure. There should be no reason not to perform Botox injections in the frown muscles for any of these procedures.

Answer: It's probably alright now Jen-Jen, Three weeks after your blepharoplasty it is probably alright to proceed with Botox treatments. By now, most of the major swelling has subsided and your periocular muscles are probably regaining their activity anyway after being traumatized by the surgery. So, you will need to reinstitute your Botox soon. It may even serve to enhance or prolong the results of your blepharoplasty. Good luck!

Answer: You are good to go with Botox Dear Jen, You have waited long enough for the BOTOX. Typically, with Microdroplet BOTOX, I find that most people can have BOTOX about a week after surgery. However, it really helps if your injector knows what they are doing. However, we have found that BOTOX done at the time of surgery or even a few days prior to surgery, can be subjected to abnormal spreading of the BOTOX when it is done in the immediate surgical area. This can lead to some unpleasant surprises. So waiting like you have is very reasonable.

Answer: Wait 4-6 weeks for Botox after Blepharoplasty it depends on which area you are getting injected. In general, I would wait for 4-6 weeks until all the swelling and bruising is gone. Forehead injection could be injected sooner, but I would wait for the crow's feet.
