Botox and filler while taking wellbutrin?

Question

I am 54 and have had botox and filller over a year ago and would like to again but now taking wellbutrin. Is this safe to do so?

In my opinion, you should be fine to receive injectables while on this medication. I recommend speaking with your injector to discuss your concerns.

There are no contraindications to taking wellbutrin and receiving botox injections. In fact, a new study was just released that botox improves depression symptoms. When patients look in the mirror and see themselves and not looking unhappy, it stimulates endorphins and improves their depressive symptoms! So do it!! Good luck!

I am not aware of any interaction between Botox or fillers and wellbutrin.  In my opinion, it would be fine for you to have Botox and filler treatment while taking wellbutrin.

You will be fine to receive your botox and filler injections while taking wellbutrin. The only thing we wouldn't recommend are blood thinners as you have a higher chance of bruising with injections.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Yes, it is fine to proceed with your Botox treatment while taking Wellbutrin.  Be sure to discuss all medications you take with your injector including prescription, over the counter and supplements.

Thomas G. Korkos, MD · Answer

Hello!
There are no adverse effects of taking Wellbutrin with Botox injections, so you are free to proceed. Avoid blood thinning NSAID's like Advil or Ibuprofen on the day of treatment as they may lead to an increased risk of bruising.
Good luck!Dr. Tom Korkos

Thank you for your question. It is perfectly safe to have Botox and filler injections while on Wellbutrin. I see that you are in Denver Colorado. You can see Dr. Hasan who is an expert injector who graduated from our aesthetic fellowship program.
