Botox during pregnancy - what is the risk of adverse outcomes?

Hello and thank you for your question. Botox has undergone no studies in pregnant or breastfeeding women so the adverse event profile is unknown. It's not worth taking the risk. Hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes

There is a lack of studies that prove that it is safe for women to have Botox injections while pregnant and that there are no untoward effects on the baby. It is recommended that you wait until you have had the baby and completed breastfeeding before having Botox injections.

Hello @dcgirl44236, thank you for your question. Botox reduces wrinkles and expression lines on the skin, among other things. To apply it, certain factors must be considered, and one of the most important is pregnancy. In pregnancy, you should not take any medication that is not prescribed by your doctor to treat any symptoms measuring the consequences for the fetus. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez.
