Can I get Botox the the same day I've had an MRI with contrast?

Question

If I am having an MRI with contrast in the morning will I be able to get Botox in the afternoon of that same day?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. There is not contradictions between contrast and Botox. However I recommend you to consult with your injector and/or PCP.

There should not be any interaction between Botox and MRI contrast, so in my opinion, it would be fine to have Botox on the same day as an MRI with contrast.

Hello and thank you for your question.  Botox can be done the same day as the MRI.  We advise not to lay completely flat for 2 hours after getting botox.  Good luck to you!

There should not be any issue having an MRI with contrast in the morning and then having Botox later in the afternoon.  Speak with your injector just to be sure.

Hello. Thank you for your question. Having contrast from your MRI will not affect the Botox. The only thing that you need to worry about is taking an antibiotic. That will make the Botox not take.

Can not tell why you are having an MRI. Is it because of neurological problem? MRI of the brain?
Then you should not do Botox till the neurological issue is resolved.
If it is MRi of your knee, Hip, then it does not be an issue. 
A complete history and physical exam is mandatory before Botox treatment. This is not something you do in a non medical, by non other but a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Not a Medical spa with an injector that does not have the proper medical and training back ground. nurse, injector, dentist, internist or what ever

Hello and thank you for your question. From your question we can advise here but nothing would compare to a face to face consultation in clinic for an accurate plan of what would work best. There is no reason why you couldn't have it after an MRI with contrast but the question may be why not wait a few days for botox as an elective procedure?  Hope this helps, Best wishes

Botox on the same day as an MRI, even with contrast, should not be a problem.  I would, however, check with your injected for to make sure he or she has no problem with it.
