Can I have injectable fillers and Botox at the same time as receiving steroid injections for swelling post-rhinoplasty?

Question

I had a rhinoplasty on 27th Jan. I have booked in with a different doctor on 21st April to have a top up of lip and cheek fillers along with Botox. I have my 8 week post op check up with my Rhino doctor the day before and he has informed me that sometimes stubborn swelling requires steroid injections. Will these two injectables interfere with one another?

Thank you for your question.  I would not recommend getting botox and filler while being treated with steroids.  It would be safest to wait until your swelling has subsided and you are healed from your Rhinoplasty.  Be sure to discuss this with your doctors.  Best of luck to you.

It should be safe to have Botox in areas away from the injection of the steroid in your nose, but I would inform both of your physicians of the other treatments to be safe.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, you can still have Botox and/or fillers even if you get a steroid injection for swelling. I recommend seeing a facial contouring expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can have Botox and fillers done even if you get a steroid injection for swelling. However, it is always best to inform both of your physicians to be safe. Best of Luck!

If you are going to have steroid injections in the face you should not have Botox and filler at the same time. A separation of 2 weeks is sufficient
