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.
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.
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.
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.
If you are getting Botox in areas other than the lid underwent Chalazion excision, you should be fine to proceed. However, if you are getting Botox around the same area better to wait until swelling improves after a few days as with swelling the toxin may get spread to untreated areas. Hope this helps.
If you are having Botox and fillers away form the surgical site, then you are fine to proceed a week or tow later. If you are near the surgical site, then clearance from your surgeon should be obtained (usually around 6 months).
If there are no signs of infection after approximately 10 days to two weeks after surgery, you can feel safe to go for your routine Botox treatments, as well as fillers. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
It's unlikely that getting a COVID booster shot three days after receiving Botox injections would cause the development of antibodies to Botox. Botox is a protein that is injected into the muscles, and it works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, causing them to relax. It does not interact...
Thank you for your question and photo. Since the dimple you’re referring to only appears with muscle movements, Botox may be a great option for reducing its appearance by reducing the associated muscle movement. Dermal fillers are also recommended for treating marionette lines, so you may b...
Hi, Thank you for your question. I don't have any scientific evidence that COVID antibodies can increase the probability of developing antibodies against Botox. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a completely different substance than Botox, and the antibodies produced against the virus are completely...
