Can botox be performed if I am currently taking Lymecycline?

Hello,

I believe you would benefit from a lower blepharoplasty, commonly known as lower eyelid surgery. This is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the under-eye area by addressing concerns such as puffiness, dark circles, and sagging skin. This surgery can significantly enhance one's appearance, making the eyes look more youthful and rested.
An incision is made inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible external scar. This method is suitable for patients with excess fat but minimal skin redundancy.
Recovery from lower blepharoplasty varies among individuals but generally follows this pattern:
- First Week: Swelling and bruising are most pronounced; cold compresses and prescribed medications can help manage discomfort.
- 2–4 Weeks: Most swelling and bruising subside; patients can return to work and light activities.
- Up to 6 Months: Complete healing occurs, with the final aesthetic outcome visible.

Yes, it is safe to get Botox if you are currently taking lymecycline. The only medications that can cause more bruising or for you to bleed more from the injections are blood thinning medications that are taken prior to the injections.

To my knowledge, Lymecycline Is an oral antibiotic used for acne. There should be no reason why this would affect a Botox treatment. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
