I am pregnant 7 weeks and am freaking out cause all my forehead wrinkles and crows are coming back from not having Botox ! Are there any alternatives that actually work ( probably not as good ) that are safe during pregnancy I can't take this as shallow as it might seem I look like a hag without Botox!
Answer: BOTOXED No sugeon in their right mind will give you botox or any other neurotoxin while pregnant or breast feeding. While the risk not yet determiend due to lack of controlled studies it is just one of those things that women must take the brunt of. Not fair I agree. Maybe you can make the father worse during the next months? Only kidding. Good skin care and healthy eating are the best I can offer just to be extra safe. Hope this helps? Best of luck and congrats!

Answer: Pregnancy and Botox I suggest waiting till your pregnancy is over to get botox, but in the mean time you can do laser treatments and microneedling or fillers like belotero (hyaluronic acid filler which is just a sugar naturally made in the body). Although people may disagree, these are very safe, although not studied in pregnancy. This decision is between you and your physician. Congradulations! Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Botox during pregnancy Dear lmorrison123,Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, Botox is contraindicated during pregnancy along with other neuromodulator injections. It is best to just take care of your skin by using sun screen and moisturizers. Congratulations on the pregnancy!
