How soon is it safe to get Botox after giving birth?

May 5, 2022
Asked By:little.mermaid.xo in Beverly Hills, CA

I gave birth in February and am interested in getting botox. I am prone to various allergies and am wondering if it may be too soon to get botox in the event it could cause an allergy given the fluctuation of hormones postpartum. While I have never had an allergic reaction to botox, I did experience delayed reactions to hylauronic acid facial fillers on multiple occasions. Please let me know if this is an issue to consider with respect to the botox and how long I should wait for, if at all. Thx!
