Botox top up after having covid. Is there much evidence that it could affect immunity?

Question

I had Botox for the first time on my chin eyes, had tiny amounts to assess my tolerance and the effect. In the meantime I caught covid and my practitioner has advised I can’t have the top up as you have to wait at least two weeks after a negative lateral flow to have any Botox as the immune could go “haywire” I’m now missing out on the top up- expensive miss out. Is there much evidence for this? I’m aware of the vaccination and associations with heightened responses (I’ve had mine months ago)

Thank you for your question. As a general rule, patients should wait at least 14 days after a negative COVID test before undergoing Botox injections. I recommend consulting with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can fully explain Botox’s contraindications in relation to your current health status and medical history.

Hi and welcome to our forum!Out of an overabundance of caution, it is recommended that one wait at least 2 weeks after a negative Covid test before undergoing botox injections. If suffering from "long covid", it is best to delay cosmetic injections until your clinical condition improves.Best wishes...
