Sinus Surgery - Timing of Botox/Juvaderm Injections?

Question

I am having sinus surgery in a few weeks - is it safe to get botox and juvederm prior to the surgery - or should I wait until after the surgery (and how long should i wait?)

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

Done well before the sinus surgery, it should not be a problem.  If you can't be scheduled until immediately before the sinus surgery (like within a few days), it is prudent to simply wait and have your treatment after your surgical procedure.

Matthias Solomon, MD · Answer

Botox is safe; fillers should be fine too as long as you don't have any direct pressure over the injected site immediately after injection (in the form of face masks, straps etc). The filler can still be molded at this time and minor displacement can happen.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I do not see any reason why you would not be able to have Botox and Juvederm any time prior to your sinus surgery.  The injections should not have any effect on your surgery.

Hardik Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. It should be okay to have Botox injected a week before your surgery. However, I would wait to have Juvederm injected until after your surgery as pressure over the injected area(s) can still be molded and displacement can happen. I recommend discussing this with your surgeon as he/she may have specific recommendations. Best of Luck!

There should be no issue getting  both done before or after, but check with your surgeon and get his input
