Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There is nothing to worry about.  Plenty of women have been pregnant or breast feeding while getting cosmetic treatments.  Even though there are no official studies, nothing has been reported to affect a baby in the rare instances the physician has treated someone who is in this situation.  All my patients are asked about this and informed that studies have not been performed.  The decision is then left up to them.  I suggest avoiding any cosmetic procedures unless you are using formula.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

I recommend my patients to wait until after breast feeding in order to do their Botox injections. The safety of Botox treatment during breast feeding has not been established. I suggest you ask your paediatrician about what to do.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Botox and filler are not recommended for breast feeding mothers. Consider following up with your pediatrician to discuss your concerns. An effect of these products on babies through breast milk would be rare. Although, to put your mind at ease visit the Dr to have all your questions answered.

Michael H. Gold, MD · Answer

Although many of us would probably not inject you while you are breastfeeding, I am unaware of any concerns here that you would need to be worried about. Things will be fine.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Botox is an amazing procedure that removes the fine lines in the forehead and around the eyes. I would not recommend breastfeeding when you are receiving Botox injections. There have been no studies of pregnant women or breastfeeding women receiving Botox and their babies. Please consult your pediatrician as well.
