Is botox ok to do before a lower facelift?

Question

Having a lower facelift and rhinoplasty in about a month. I haven't had botox for approximately 6 months, and am definitely in need, but do not want to do anything that may interfere with my procedures. When is it ok to have botox both before and after these procedures? Will getting it around my eyes have any effect on the lift? Is it better to have things in their natural place before doing a lift or does it matter? Of course I want the results to be as smooth and tight as possible. Thanks!

Yes, Botox can be safely performed a month before a lower facelift. Be sure to discuss this also with your plastic surgeon.Good luck!

You can safely have Botox prior to a facelift. The Botox will in no way effect the results of the lift. After a facelift, I like to wait until the majority of the swelling is resolved prior to doing Botox again (about a week or two after the facelift should be fine).Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

Thank you for sharing your question.  Botox treatment today should not have any effect on your lower facelift or rhinoplasty procedure.  Hope this helps.

Great question. The answer really depends on the preference of the doctor doing the surgery on your face. Please make sure that you see an experienced doctor for a thorough consultation and assessment prior to undergoing any treatments.
Best regards and I hope this helps, Dr. Sapijaszko.

Thank you for your question.  Yes, you can safely receive Botox one month prior to your planned procedures.  The use of Botox will not affect your results from surgery.  After surgery, I would suggest allowing full resolution of normal postprocedure swelling and bruising prior to receiving Botox.   Please be sure to discuss with your plastic surgeon in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!
