Avoid Botulinum Toxin A During Pregnancy

Neither Dysport nor Botox is recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.  Toughing it out for a few months is best in order to provide the safest environment for baby.

No Dysport while pregnant

It is not recommended that Dysport be used in woment who are pregnant or breastfeeding. I would not inject Botox, Dysport, or any filler until after a women has finished breastfeeding.

I would not advise these injections during pregnancy

I am unaware of any reports one way or another but the safe approach is ALWAYS the best. Consequently, I cannot advise this treatment while pregnant.
