Is it ok to take a multivitamin and/or iron supplement one week after getting Botox and fillers around the eyes?

Question

I still have some bruising 8 days after getting botox/fillers under the eyes. Is it ok to take a multivitamin and/or iron supplement...?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, it's ok to take a multivitamin/iron supplement after Botox. VBeam treatments can improve bruising. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear Takeashot,it should be safe to use supplements after or before Botox treatment. However, every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Yes, you can take your vitamin/supplement after Botox and fillers. Bruising will resolve in 1-2 weeks. Icing, cold compresses and arnica can give improvement. Hope this helps.

You are welcome to take any supplements at this time. If concern arises for timing again ask your injector about their preferences.

You can resume your multivitamins.  Applying Arnica to the bruised area can help diminish it faster.

Yes it is ok to take a multi vitamin and or iron supplement one week after getting Botox and fillers around the eyes. You should check with your doctor and follow their instructions. I personally don’t have any restrictions on multivitamins or iron supplements for my patients.  I recommend icing for the first 3-5 days to improve bruising and swelling. Afterwards you’re body just needs time to heal and everyone’s body is different. Some folks swear that arnica tablets and gels help bruising but research studies do not show that it makes a significant difference. Hope this helps. Dr. Ardeshirpour

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

You may take your multivitamins as well as iron supplements before, during and after a Botox treatment without any concern whatsoever. Good luck from New York City
