Botox and fillers before facial surgery
Having Botox or fillers like Juvederm, Restylane or Radiesse before surgery by an experienced and highly trained injector to a different site from your surgery will not have any impact.

Botox and fillers prior to rhinoplasty and otoplasty
Prior to surgery, having Botox and fillers in areas other that the area that will operated on is perfectly ok. The Botox and fillers will stay localized to the areas they are injected and will not interfere with surgery to the nose or ears. In general, it is important to avoid the following prior to rhinoplasty:
1) NSAIDS
2) Vitamin E
3) Alcohol
4) Herbal supplements
5) Smoking (3 months before and after surgery)
I hope this helps, and best of luck with your surgery!

Having Botox to the forehead and lip fillers should be no problem before your Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty but check with your plastic and cosmetic surgeon to be sure.

Botox and Filler Before Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty are Okay
It is fine to have injectables prior to your surgery. The only real exception would be if the botox or fillers are treating the site of the operation. One such example would be filler rhinoplasty. You would not want to have filler placed in the nose, prior to having an operation on the nose. Some patients who are interested in injectables and are having surgery prefer to have the injectables done when they are in the OR for maximal comfort. Of course, this wouldn't be the way that they'd be...

Botox/Fillers before surgery
Yes, you can have botox and fillers placed before surgery; however, if you do choose to do so, I would avoid doing it right before surgery as the filler can inadvertently be shifted. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can better assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Botox and fillers before surgery
If you have Botox and/or fillers done before surgery( meaning a week or so before) it should not impact your surgery, unless a complication develops. Why not just do it the day of surgery?
