Is it ok to get 11's and forehead botox after non-incisional eyelid surgery (5 days post)?

Question

Hello, I am doing non-incisional eyelid surgery during my vacation trip but also my time is limited there and I planned on doing botox as well. Would it be ok to do botox on my forehead and 11's (near the eyes) 5 days post-op of the eyelid surgery? Also would it be ok to do masseter botox as well? Thank you.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Yes, in most cases it’s safe to get forehead, glabella (11’s), and even masseter Botox about 5 days after non-incisional eyelid surgery, as long as your surgeon clears it. Non-incisional eyelid procedures usually have minimal tissue disruption, and Botox is injected into separate muscle planes that don’t interfere with eyelid healing. The only caution is to ensure swelling or bruising has stabilized and that there’s no infection or irritation around the eyes.
