I went in for a consultation at a medical spa and decided to have Dysport done. After she had finished administering the injections, she asked if I was breastfeeding. Now I'm reading every where that I shouldn't have done this and am wondering if I should quit breastfeeding?

Answer: Dysport and breast feeding
Dysport and Botox are not recommended for pregnant women or women breast feeding because there are no studies to look at any potential side effects on the fetus or baby. There are no human studies that show that Dyport or Botox are harmful to a fetus or infant though. Since Dysport and Botox are injected into just a localized area of the body, it does not circulate throughout the system. The dose used is also very small. Because of those points, I don't think that you need to stop breast feeding. You could also just run it by your OB/GYN or pediatrician to get their opinions.

Answer: Breastfeeding and Dysport
It's a good idea to avoid any elective cosmetic procedure: lasers, fillers, and neurotoxins while pregnant and/or breastfeeding. These treatments and medications have not been tested in this population of women and are not worth the risk.
