Answer: No data. Hello Sophie. Congratulations on your new baby. I'm sure this has happened before given how popular Botox and Dysport are and I'm not aware of any problems. There are no studies on the effects of Botox on a fetus so we simply just don't know of any bad effects. Warm regards, Dr. Aldo

Answer: Botox and pregnancy While no responsible injector would treat a patient known to be pregnant with Botox due to the lack of actual study data, I have had many, many patients over the years find out they were pregnant shortly after receiving Botox. Both in my personal experience as well as the broader experience of all physicians, there is no information to suggest that either you or your baby are at risk as a result of your Botox treatment. Congratulations on your pregnancy and do not worry about Botox.

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!
