How long after eyelid surgery can I have botox and filler?

Hello Minden,Thank you for your question.  As you can see from the responses, each physician may tell you something slightly different.  What's most important is asking your surgeon, who performed the procedure, to tell you when he/she feels it is ok.  If a muscle suspension was utilized during the surgery or fat repositioned, your surgeon may not want Botox paralyzing and thinning the muscle suspension.  So, ask your surgeon.  Good luck!

You can have Botox and/or a filler as soon as most of the swelling has receded after your eyelid surgery.  This can take 3-6 weeks.  Just for future reference, Botox or fillers can be done right before eyelid surgery on the same day.

Thank you for the good question. A month should pass after eyelid surgery before injecting Botox. The tissue is still swollen which could cause Botox to migrate to an area not intended. It is probably a good idea to wait about the same amount of time for use of fillers. I hope you find this helpful.
