Can you get Botox while you have a blood clot?

Question

Irena Karanetz, MD · Answer

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
It shouldn't be an issue receiving Botox injection while you have a blood clot. However, you may have more bruising after injections if you are currently taking blood thinners.
I would recommend an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. 
I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

Thank you for sharing your question. Although there is no issue, I would make sure your clot treatment is underway and stable prior to any further interventions.

It should not be an issue if you only have a blood clot. It is different when you have a blood clotting disorder. Contact your doctor to know more about this.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

There is no specific contraindication to receive cosmetic Botox while you have a blood clot.  However, medications that are commonly taken may lead to higher risk of bleeding and bruising.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your injector.
