These are not related and there is no contraindication to getting Botox and filler after a breast augmentation procedure. The chance that one of the injections could lead to an infection is very small and we don´t know if this could potentially affect your implants.

3 Weeks Post Breast Implants: Safe to Get Botox and Filler Injections for Face?

Dear alexandera, Most surgeons would consider it safe to get Botox and fillers three weeks after breast augmentation.

The chances of both of these events happening is very small, but the risk does exist. Here is another thread asking a similar question regarding getting a tattoo after breast augmentation.

This is absolutely not a problem unless you are on a certain antibiotics.

There are a few contraindications for having BOTOX. One of them is being on certain types of antibiotics. So check with your physician or surgeon before having BOTOX. However, barring this type of issue, there is absolutely no reason to wait. Your treating physician will advise you.

Botox and fillers after breast implants

The only concern your surgeon might have is if there is a rare risk of infection from the filler which can then threaten the implant. Check with your surgeon to make sure he or she is Ok with it. If they don't have a concern about you having a dental cleaning at a certain post-operative time, then they shouldn't be concerned about Botox and filler injections through clean skin. see video

It should be safe to get these injections. I often do these injections for patients at the time of surgery so they can benefit from a painless injection because they are asleep. Lisa Lynn Sowder, M.D.
