I had Dysport while breast feeding. When is it safe to feed again?

Question

I had dysport today and wasn’t aware it shouldn’t be done if breastfeeding. I haven’t fed baby with breast since treatment 1 hours ago (just formula). When can I feed again as I do not want to stop breastfeeding if possible? My babies health is most important and only had forehead, frown and 20 units in each crows feet area. Please help!

It is recommended to postpone Dysport and other neuromodulator treatments until after pregnancy and/or breastfeeding.  There is not currently enough evidence to confirm or deny its safety during breastfeeding.  It's recommended to contact your lactation specialist for further guidance.

There are no studies on the impact of Dysport and breastfeeding. I recommend following up with your OB/GYN about the recommended timeline for resuming. It can take up to 2 weeks for final results with Dysport. Hope this helps.

It is okay to get injections while breast feeding as long as you "pump and dump" for the following 1 - 2 days. This will be enough time to filter everything out and you will be able to breastfeed again.

Thank you for your question. There are no studies indicating the impact
of breastfeeding while having Dysport. Please consult your provider and always
seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.

Whilst It is not recommend to use Dysport when pregnant or breastfeeding it is yet to be determined if it is infact harmful or not for the baby.  It is best to discuss this with your Cosmetic Physician prior to treatment regarding their protocol. 
If a patient insists on having Dysport whilst breastfeeding it is possible to pump and store enough breastmilk before the treatment and bottle feed the baby with the stored milk for 5 days after the treatment.
Since the treatment has already taken place, as a precaution, do not breast feed the baby for the next 5 days, but rather pump and dispose of the milk.
