Hello, I am getting breast implants in 2 weeks. I would really like to do Botox for this deep vertical line in between my brows. That's the only place I want it, and I'm thinking of asking my surgeon if she can do it while I am in surgery. Is this a feasible scenario? If it is, how long can I expect botox to last? I am a complete newbie at all of this - I've never had surgery or any kind of injectable.

Answer: Botox and Breast Augmentation Botox® Cosmetic injections can be done while in surgery, however planned injection sites should be marked prior to anesthesia with the patient in the upright position and while he/she is animating their facial muscles. I recommend that the treated area not be rubbed or manipulated immediately after Botox® Cosmetic injections; I also recommend that you do not lean/bend over for the first few hours post-injection. Botox injections become fully apparent within 5-7 days and typically last for 3 to 6 months, with most individuals gradually returning to their former state. I recommend Botox® Cosmetic be repeated every 3 to 4 months. Hope this helps!James Lee, MDBoard Certified Plastic SurgeonQuebec, Canada

Answer: Botox Hi momto4tx, thank you for your question. You can absolutely request Botox to be done at the time of surgery. Botox typically lasts somewhere between 3-4 months and can take up to about 2 weeks to see it's full results. Consult with your surgeon before surgery to be evaluated to make sure you are a proper candidate for Botox. Good luck with your upcoming procedure.
