I Have Cancer Can I Still Have Botox?

In general terms, there should be no problem with Botox injections even with a diagnosis of cancer.  Other treatments like HA fillers are also often feasible.  Many clients enjoy the rejuvenation Botox and other treatments can bring to to their appearance while working through a difficult time in their life.

Be sure to ask your oncologist for his permission, and be sure your injector is aware of your medical problems as well.

I use a lot of Botox and other cosmetic treatments for cancer patients. Feeling good about yourself is part of being able to get going and recover. I do have my patients OK it with oncologist if in middle of therapy. I wrote a short review on this for familysavvy.com and it can be read on that website. 

all you have to do is ask your oncologist...overwhelmingly is you don't have advanced disease and if you're not on certain chemotherapies for acute disease...the oncologists don't prohibit botox and it makes you feel better about yourself...

I have many Botox patients who have many different medical conditions, including cancer.  That said, you should ask your oncologist and make sure there is no contraindication for your particular condition. 

I have several patients who have cancer, or who have had cancer, who still receive cosmetic Botox. I always try to speak with that patient's oncologist first to coordinate care, understand medications, etc. but there are no studies showing there are contraindications for the two.
