How long we need to wait to breastfeed/get pregnant after getting Botox?

Asked By:miraabc in Absecon, NJ

I did not know that I couldn't take Botox while I was nursing my 3 month old, yet the plastics surgeon did answer "it's OK" when I raised my concern before the injection of 25 units. When I got other information after the injection it's already too late and I immediately stopped breastfeeding. My question is how long should I wait to start breastfeeding again? And how long to get pregnant again? Is there any ways to help metabolise Botox faster like more sports or taking more certain food...?
