Botox after fat transfer
There are no problems in having Botox or fillers after fat transfer. I would definitely not do any treatments for at least 1 month after your fat transfer to make sure that things are stable.

Botox after fat grafting
You can absolutely use Botox after fat grafting. They tend to work at different tissue planes, but I would still wait for a few weeks to allow the tissues to reduce their swelling. This will ensure the Botox is getting to the muscle rather than permeate in the swollen tissues.

Botox doesn't interfere with fat injections
You may not be able to have Botox injected in an area of fat injections, if Botox were to create a functional loss of muscle activity. Usually fat injections are done in cheeks and smile creases, and the prejowl sulcus, not areas that typically have botox because of the effect it can have on muscle control. However, the Botox injections would not interfere with the fat grafts previously placed, or vice-versa.

THe real question is not whether you can have Botox injected in the same area as fat transfer,
You can, but rather why would you want to do so. Fat transfer is a filler treatment, in the same category as Restylane, Juvaderm, Sculptra, etc., and Botox is a muscle relaxant in the same category as Dysport (and others outside the United States). To my way of thinking, these two separate classes of injectables are best used to treat different problems. If facial lines can be divided into those caused by muscular activity ("the hills"), and those caused by...

Botox in area of fat injection
I assume the Dr injecting Botox will be the same one who did the fat transfer.
In that case, he/she is knowledgeable about the location and the amount of Botox to be injected.
The only problem that would arise is to have the Botox injected in a Spa by an untrained person.

Botox and fillers

Botox works by paralyzing the muscle at the neuromuscular junction. Therefore it should have no impact on your fat injections.

Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin Injections After Fat Transfer
Hi Tam,
Yes you may have Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or whatever neuromodulating injection that will be next on the market injected into a area of fat transfer. Just make sure that your injecting physician puts it in the muscle, not the fat. Good luck and be well.

Can I use Botox in the same area of prior fat transfer.
Sure, Botox is a muscle relaxer and won't have any impact on the rpreviously transfer fat. You should be able to have Botox as you did previously without event or issues, IMHO.

Botox can be used in areas injected with fat without problems.
Botox is going to be your friend for many yrs and having fat injections around the eyes won't prevent you from having botox when you need it. Sincerely,

While botox can be used in an area where fat grafting was performed, I would not recommend botox injections under the eye.

BOTOX® is OK after fat injection.
As long as everything is healed and there is no local infection after fat injection, it is ok and you can have BOTOX® injection in the same area if indicated. There is no interaction between fat injection and BOTOX® injection in the same area.

Botox after grafting
Yes you can after complete healing. ideally the botox should be injected into the muscle only but it will not affect the graft area.

Botox after fat grafting around the eyes is okay
The Botox should not interfere with the filling effect from facial fat grafting. Make sure that the surgical sites are healed and infection free before starting Botox injections to the face.
