Is It Safe To Get Botox/Fillers While Attempting Pregnancy With Donor Eggs?

Thank you for your question.  To be safe, I would not recommend either Botox or filler while trying to conceive.  The makers of Botox/fillers would never consider sponsoring a study to see the safety of Botox during pregnancy or breast feeding or while trying to conceive as it would be too risky for them. I would recommend that you stop any future injectable treatments until either the baby is born and after breast feeding.

It is not recommended to have an elective cosmetic procedure that is not FDA tested in pregnant women, during a trial at conceiving, or if you are pregnant or nursing.  Not that there is any evidence that the Botox can hurt the baby, but as it is not studied, no one can recommend it. 

However it is not recommended.  Is it potentially harmful.  The answer for that is if it is at all harmful, we think the risk is quite very small.  However, give how much effort is required to get pregnant, it is hard to justify even a small unknown risk.  For that reason, I would not recommend getting service until after the pregnancy.

It is best to delay botox and fillers until you are no longer 1) trying to get pregnant or 2) pregnant. 

There are no human studies that have tested the safety of botox or fillers during pregnancy.  We doctors are very conservative when it comes to treating women that are pregnant or seeking to become pregnant.  The reason is that the safety of the pregnancy and the fetus are most important. 

It is not recommended to be treated with any of the neuromodulators while trying to conceive or during pregnancy or breast feeding. Concerns for the well being of the fetus or the baby are a strong reason to delay the treatment.

 

Wish you best of luck !
