Botox and filler, chalazion

Question

I just had surgery to remove a chalazion , how long do I have to wait before I get Botox and fillers?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If your Botox and filler treatments are away from the surgical site you should be fine to proceed at any time.  If you are near the site you will first want to speak to your surgeon about timing.

Thank you for sharing your question. You should be fine to have Botox injected when there is no longer swelling or bruising around the area you will be treated with Botox. See an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for detailed evaluation and treatment. 
Good luck!

Usually every injectable related procedure involving your face procedure involving creates some kind of swealling. Since you already had a surgical removal of a Chalazion (lid area), we usually advise our patients to wait at least three months to have injectables.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

There is no delay needed after chalazion removal to undergo botox or filler treatments, other than I wouldn't inject very close to the chalazion site.
