Is cosmetic Botox recommended while recuperating from a bone fracture (TPF)? (Photo)

Question

This is week five of my TPF recuperation process and it has been 4 months since my last Botox treatment. I don't want to let anymore time go by, but I am also afraid it might affect the bone healing process. Please advice.

Botox has no effect on your healing post bone fracture.  I suggest seeing your physician.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There would be no problem with receiving cosmetic Botox to the face while recovering from a bone fracture in the leg.  One will not affect the other.

Todd C. Miller, MD · Answer

Hi icrager, Botox injections in the face should not have any impact on the healing process for your fracture.

Jill C. Fichtel, MD · Answer

Generally speaking, facial Botox injections are very safe, even for patients recuperating from orthopedic surgery such as yourself.  This will have no effect on the bone healing process.  Wishing you a speedy recovery.

The bone fracture healing will not be affected by Botox. Neither will the outcome of Botox be affected by a healing orthopedic fracture.Dr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
