If you are using this on your face, I do not see any contraindications to use as there effects are primarily local. Our primary concerns are either neuromusclular conditions with botulinum toxin (Dysport, etc.) or auto-immune/collagen vascular diseases with fillers. Discuss your concerns with an experienced physician injector.
Lymphedema of the upper extremity, such as after lymph gland removal in the underarm, or lower legs from circulation problems or lymph gland removal, and other causes, should not be a contraindication to having Botox and fillers injected in the face.
I have treated patients who had lymphedema with Fillers and Botox. There were no problems. Botox and fillers act just where they were injected and should not interact with lymph flow. I hope this helps.
Primary Lymphedema is a disorder affecting lymphatic channels in the extremities. There is no relation that I am aware of between this disorder and the use of either Botox or Fillers. The most common contraindications to the use of Botox involve a group of neuromuscular disorders, pregnancy, infection at the treatment site and allergies. Moreover, since the use of Botox and fillers is largely confined to the face and not used in the extremities, there should be no contraindications to their use.Dr. P. Aldea

Two general thoughts, since you have a fairly clear answer that suggests four hours without massage to the area. One, light treatment to the skin surface should be fine. Skin care, moisturizing, and make up are all supported in my practice right away. Logically I just can't see how a gentle...
Judging from your question, my guess is that your lines are probably from sun damage and loss of elasticity in your skin. "Needleing' of the skin would be an option to create some tightening, but I do not think that Botox, or fillers will give you what you are looking for. Depending on the...
Hi Aisha. As with any cosmetic treatment, your decision to use a product like Botox is a very personal one. While some patients would never consider injecting a product like Botox, others can't wait to start (even in their early - mid 20's). The question you ask is a good...
Botox and Juvederm are medical products that can only be administered by a licensed doctor or nurse, whatever their speciality may be. However, it's always best to find an injector who is experienced and has knowledge of the skin.
