Can I have botox a month before shoulder surgery (rotator cuff)?

Hello @Forever5000, thank you for your question. You can apply Botox before shoulder surgery, it does not interfere with the surgery. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Botox should be perfectly fine to get a month before your rotator cuff surgery and shouldn't have any effect on your anesthesia nor surgery. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.
In my opinion, botox prior to your surgery should not be a problem; however, I would speak to your surgeon prior to see if there are any concerns they may have.

There should not be any reason that you can’t get neurotoxin a month prior to shoulder surgery. The only post procedure precautions to keep in mind are, do not lie down for 4 hours, do not get into extreme temperatures post treatment for the rest of the day, do not engage in strenuous exercise post treatment, and do not rub the area post treatment on the day of injection. From an injectors stand point there should be no trouble getting the treatment a month prior to shoulder surgery, but it is not a bad idea to ask your orthopedist if you have concern.

In my opinion, it would be fine to have a Botox treatment a month before surgery on the shoulder. The Botox should not affect the surgery and vice versa.

Hello! There is no contraindications for receiving Botox prior to an upcoming surgery. Especially if it is a month before. In fact, you could receive a toxin treatment the day before and would still be fine. I am an anesthesiologist and spa owner. When you have your shoulder repair, you will be placed in a special headrest that will put some gentle pressure on your face to maintain the appropriate surgical position. Even though this special positioning device is on your face, it will not have any effect on your previous toxin treatment. I would avoid having a toxin treatment the day before surgery just because of this but in theory it should be totally fine.Good luck with your upcoming surgery and you will look amazing the day of with your fresh rejuvenated face.

Hi, thank you for your question! Yes, botox can be administered before having shoulder surgery. Botox may wear off more quickly just due to stress on the body from surgery. I would recommend touching base with your surgeon who will be performing the surgery.

Thank you for your question! It is fine to get Botox a month before surgery, since there are no contraindications for receiving this treatment prior to a surgical procedure. Hope this helps & enjoy your treatment!

Hello Forever5000,
Surgery is not a contraindication for any surgery.Especially since you are taking it a month before, there is nothing to worry about.
All the best for your surgery. :)
