Will taking an oral steroid, Anavar, interfere with Botox or Juvederm injections??

Question

I am currently on my first cycle of a oral steroid called anavar and I am going to get some more Botox and lip fillers(juverderm). I am a little hesitant since I haven't found much information online about this topic. Please someone tell me if they counteract

You should be fine taking your meds and getting the botox and fillers. .............................................

Thank you for a great question. The short answer is that there is no interaction between your oral steroid and you going to get Botox and fillers done. It might even help the swelling post procedure, as after lips get injected there is expected swelling the next day. It is safe and I would be very comfortable injecting you.  Good luck and hope this helps. Best,Dr.Avaliani

Thank you for your question.  You should be just fine to undergo Botox and Juvederm treatments while taking an oral steroid.  Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to review your medical history and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!

It would be irresponsible to inject without first knowing why you are on the medication.  Certain inflammatory conditions for which you are taking the steroid might pose a reason to hesitate before receiving cosmetic treatment.  In most cases the steroids would not pose a problem at all.

There should be no change in your outcome from Botox or Juvederm when taking a steroid. You might have less swelling than normal as an added benefit.
