I had a lower blepharoplasty one month ago. When can I do Botox on crows feet?

Question

Lower blepharoplasty one month ago. Healing well, more bruising on right cheek but undereyes look wonderful

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

Great to hear that your undereyes are healing beautifully. Sounds like your surgeon did great work, and every surgeon will have his/her own preference in terms of when you can resume your nonsurgical regimen. In general it is safe to resume Botox one month after surgery, but again it would be best to check with our surgeon.

I perform Botox injections one month after eyelid surgery. You will be healed by then and get the treatment done safely

Irena Karanetz, MD · Answer

Hello,
 
Thank you for your question.
 
You should be able to receive Botox injections to crow's feet 4-6 weeks after the procedure.

I would recommend to follow up with your Plastic Surgeon who performed the blepharoplasty procedure, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. 
 
I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

As long as healing is progressing as expected you should be able to have your Botox treatment.  Check with your surgeon for the okay just to be sure as opinions vary.

Glenn Lyle, MD · Answer

Typically we advise most of our patients to wait 6 months after surgery to get Botox in that area. With any swelling that my still be present, you don't want your Botox migrating to the wrong area. I know it may seem excessive to wait but believe me, its worth the wait.
