How long do I need to wait before having botox after a face lift?

this depends upon your surgeons preferences for aftercare - compression garments, positioning, what surgery has been done. My patients can have repeat botox after 2 weeks if they want.

There is no reason not to have Botox as soon after a facelift as you wish. For purposes of economy you may want to wait until you're ready to go out in public.

 You should
wait to have Botox, 2 - 3 weeks after facial rejuvenation procedures, once you are
completely healed and ready to resume normal activities.

I don't think you need to wait too long at all.  Give it a few weeks and probably right around the time that you don't mind getting an injection, it will be the right time for the injection to happen.  No worries.Good Luck!

You can resume Botox treatments right away after your facial surgery, best done by your facial surgeon.

You can have botox at any time after your facelift swelling has resolved.  It makes it easier and more accurate to administer botox injections.

Generally, there is no hard and fast answer to this question as it can vary depending upon the patient. Typically once enough of the swelling has gone down ad you can tell where to put the botox for the crow's feet, then it may be appropriate to get treated. I would ask your surgeon but typically on average about four weeks after the procedure is usually fine.

Hello,Generally speaking, the areas of botox injection are different than the surgical area for a facelift.  For this reason, the botox could really be injected any time before or after the facelift.  However, it might be a good idea to wait until most of the swelling has settled so that your physician can identify the appropriate anatomy and injection sites more easily.  Good luck!

Hello, While the Botox can be injected sooner if you really want to, I think waiting a month or so is a little better.  It's not the lower face and neck lift that compromises the procedure, but rather the browlift and eyelid surgery swelling that may affect the procedure.  Your injector should be able to guide you in this decision.  Good luck."This answer has been solicited without seeing this

Hello MonaCat.  My opinion is to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks after facial cosmetic surgery to inject Botox or Dysport.  You would want to see a lot of your swelling from surgery to resolve.  That gives your doctor a better chance to be more exact with the injections.

Typically 1-2 weeks depending on the extent of the lift and where the Botox is going to be placed.  For example, if treating the glabella (the 11's) and no eye or brow work was done during the facelift, Botox can typically be injected safely in one week, and sometimes sooner..I hope this helps.
