Open surgery for gall bladder now exactly one week after Botox- will it affect Botox?

Thank you for your question.  Botox in the cosmetic dose interacts with muscle contracture.  Surgery will not affect your Botox.  Best of luck.

No, your surgery should not negatively impact your Botox results. It can take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Rest assured that your surgery will not interfere with the results of your Botox treatment or vice versa. Best of luck with your surgery!

Results from these treatments are visible within two to four days with results that can last anywhere from four to six months. Having Botox in the face should not have any effects with the gallbladder or on the face. Follow up with you injector to discuss options and future treatments.

Hello,
There should not be any interaction between the surgery and the Botox. Best wishes with your surgery!

Thankyou for your question. Feel reassured that all will be fine re botox and surgery.There will be no interaction. Stay well

Thank you for your question brunmum. I understand your concern. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. When injected into the skin Botox will relax the muscles and smoothen out the overlying wrinkles. The most common areas of treatment are in the upper face. These include the horizontal lines seen on the upper forehead when one raises the brows, the vertical lines seen between the brows when one frowns (frown lines), and the crow's feet seen around the eyes when one smiles.It is difficult to make an assessment without a formal exam where the entire medical history is reviewed. However, I hope the information provided here is useful.The safety record of Botox is well established. The product has been used for over 20 years for a variety of treatments with minimal side effects. Botox is amongst the safest treatments for treating facial wrinkles.While Botox is one of the safest treatments offered, there are some situations where it is not appropriate. These include anyone who has an allergy to any of the inactive ingredients or who has had an allergic reaction to any botulinum product including Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Myobloc. The safety and efficacy of Botox has not been established in women who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breast feeding. Therefore, women in these categories are advised to wait until breast feeding is completed prior to having a Botox treatment. Botox should not be placed in the skin on the site of an infection. Those who are taking an aminoglycoside antibiotic, an anesthetic, D-penicillamine, antimalarials, or immunosuppressants should not be treated, nor should those who have undergone chemotherapy within the previous six months. It is important to avoid blood thinners before and after a treatment. These include both prescription and non-prescription medications such as warfarin (coumadin), aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, fish oil, vitamin E, and ginko biloba. Those with conditions that affect muscles and nerves such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome should not undergo Botox treatments.If I had a patient who planned a gallbladder surgery one week after a Botox treatment, I would say that it would not affect the results of the Botox treatment.With any injection, there are risks such as pain, bleeding, bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness, and infection. We take special precautions to minimize these risks such as using a painless technique. We also treat bruises with a laser as early as the next day. Bruises usually resolve within two weeks if untreated. After a laser treatment bruises usually resolve in 1-3 days, but may still take two weeks for full resolution. In addition to these risks, with Botox there is also a risk that the product spreads or diffuses to nearby structures. Spread to nearby muscles can lead to side effects such as the temporary appearance of droopy eyelids or a temporary asymmetric smile.After a Botox treatment, I recommend that my patients avoid heat exposure, alcohol consumption, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours and not lie down flat for four hours. This is because all of these activities may possibly lead to the movement of the product and consequent side effects such as droopy eyelids as described above. Although there have been no definitive studies shown that these actually occur and some physicians do not provide such aftercare instructions, in the absence of data I err on the side of caution and recommend that my patients avoid such activities.Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Thank
you for your question. The fact that you had Botox one week ago should
have no effects whatsoever on your open gallbladder surgery. However, the
anesthesia provider is likely to use a mask while preparing you for general
anesthesia, and waking you from general anesthesia. It is unlikely that this
will lead to any undesired side effects. However, depending on where the Botox
was placed, and how fast your body is metabolizing the Botox, it is possible
that the effects of the Botox could spread to adjacent areas. If this happens,
the newly affected areas would only be effected for a short period of time , and
should cause no temporary or permanent health issues. No reason to worry, and
best of luck with your necessary medical/surgical procedure.

Hello
and thank you for your question. 
Your
Botox should not be affected by you undergoing a gallbladder surgery. If
you continue to have any concerns, then I would follow up with a board
certified plastic surgeon or an experienced nurse injector and be fully
evaluated. 

Your Botox treatment will have no impact on your gallbladder surgery, nor will your gallbladder surgery affect your Botox results.  Best wishes for successful surgery!
