I know there isn't conclusive research but would still like to know your opinions and your thoughts on likelihood that this treatment will harm my baby.

Answer: I have just found out I am 9 weeks pregnant and I had Botox last week. I'm concerned about the wellbeing of my baby. Thank you for sharing your excellent question. As you mentioned there is no conclusive research on Botox's effects during pregnancy, and all plastic surgeons avoid treatment to any women currently carrying as a "better safe than sorry" belief. That said there have been countless women who have had Botox in their system, or have had it administered during pregnancy, who have gone on to have healthy babies. I would inform your ob/gyn of your treatment so that they can follow you along closely in case of any other concerns. Best wishes.

Answer: Botox and Pregnancy Congratulations on your baby! There is no research about the effects of Botox on a fetus. This most likely happens several times a year due to how popular Botox is. To my knowledge there has never been a case of problems associated with this. There is very little migration of Botox once injected. It should stay in the area it was injected to. This should not be a problem. Congratulations!
