Dysport: Q&A

Is Dysport or Restylane Safe While Trying to Have a Baby?
If I get it it would be in the first 2 weeks of my cycle just in case I do become pregnant after ovulation. Is it safe? Or will it affect my chances of conceiving or cause harm to the embryo or fetus afterwards? Thank you.

Fillers and Nururo-Modulators when Planning on Conceiving or Pregnant
Any non essential intervention, be it fillers or neuro-modulators (Botox or Dysport) should be avoided when considering conceiving or when pregnant.
You should also stop all ,Tretinoin Creams, Retin-A and Retinol when conceiving or pregnant.

Botox or Fillers while trying to have a baby
I would not recommend any Botox or Filler while trying to conceive or while nursing for that matter. Until there have been sufficient evidence to prove the safety of these products during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, I wouldn't take any risk.

Botox, Dysport, or FIllers during pregnancy or nursing
I advise my patients to avoid anything that is not needed during pregnancy. Although I think that the chances of having a problem are remote (to say the least), why bother looking for trouble? Pregnancy is fraught with its own issues and complications- adding something elective into the mix and then having to worry simply does not make sense, no matter what the science says.

Absolutely no Botox or Dysport during pregnancy or breast feeding
There have been rare reports of distant migration of botulinum toxin from Botox or Dysport injections. Neither Allergan or Medicis, the manufacturers of both will conduct safety studies for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Just stick with wearing sunscreen every morning until you are done breastfeeding.

Would not use Botox or Restylane while trying to get pregnant
Dear Fairy101,
i would agree that it would not be a good idea to have these treatments done while trying to get pregnant. The problem is that the effects of these products has not been studied to the extent where clear-cut definitive conclusions can be made. All of the product inserts recommend to not use these products while pregnant or attempting to be pregnant. If you were to inadvertently use them while you were pregnant, I would not worry -- just talk to your OB/GYN.
I would not...

Wait til after pregnancy for any injectables
I highly recommend against it. It is better to wait til after your pregnancy to receive any type of injections of Dysport and Restylane (actually all cosmetic injectables).

Dysport or Restylane Safe While Trying to Have a Baby?...Sounds Like a Newlywed Game Question from Bob Eubanks
Hi Fairy in Miami,
As you know, when trying to have a baby, all sharp objects should be kept out of the bed, so no injections while you are making whoopee.
All kidding aside, best to avoid any Dysport, Botox, and facial fillers such as Restylane when pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Medico-legally, as physicians, we can not recommend any of these treatments during pregnancy.
Would I worry if my wife had injections during the first 2 weeks of pregnancy...no.
Good luck, be well, and enjoy mak

Please wait until after pregnancy for Dysport or Restylane
Dear Fairy101
The most critical period for our developing offspring is the first few months following conception. This is especially true for the immediate few weeks after conception were a problem this early in pregnancy usually results in a spontaneous abortion. Please do everything you can not to harm the your developing fetus. Are BOTOX and Restylane safe for pregnant women? This has not really be studied enough to provide a definitive answer and is not likely to be.

Use of Botox while pregnant
This remains essentially unstudied in humans but it is clear that the pharmaceutical package insert clearly recommends avoiding use of these products while or attempting to become pregnant.
Let me quote:
"Administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic is not recommended during pregnancy. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of BOTOX® Cosmetic in pregnant women."
If women become pregnant while being injected, the package insert states that patients shold be informed about...
