Can You Fly Same Day if You Are Getting Botox Injections for Chronic Migraine? Since It is 30+

Sorry to hear about your increase in headaches. It is not likely that flying was responsible for your increased migraines, and the issue could be a coincidence. It is best to avoid flying within the first two weeks of having the following:

1) Rhinoplasty
2) Facelift
3) Blepharoplasty
4) Brow lift

I would recommend following up with your physician who performed the Botox injections for migraines. It is possible that he or she may have used an incorrect amount of did not place the injections correctly. I hope this helps, and good luck!

    Flying after Botox is not contraindicated.  The triggers for migraine are variable, and the flying or something associated with the flying may have caused the increase.  Also, sometimes Botox has a variable effect on migraines.  It is possible that the previous dose has worn off, and for some reason the present dosing or its placement has not reduced migraine threshold.

Flying after your Botox injections should not influence an increase in migraines. I would recommend speaking with the physician who performed your injections regarding any post-treatment concerns. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you for your question. You should be able to fly after having the Botox placed. The flight will not affect the Botox or its results. Realize that it will take 4-5 days before the Botox starts to work though.

Travel safely.

You should be able to fly the same day after a Botox treatment for migraines or for cosmetic purposes.  The flight should not affect the result of the treatment.
