Is it safe to have Botox this soon after wisdom teeth removal?

Question

Hi, I am finally getting Botox for my chronic migraine tomorrow. But I had all of my wisdom teeth removed on June 26. Is it safe to have Botox in my jaw area, or should I wait for that and just get it everywhere else? II am still recovering as I also had a large cyst removed Thanks!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If you are still recovering from your dental surgery you may want to wait until you have healed before considering Botox treatment due to swelling. I encourage you to speak to your provider for specific time frames as opinions may vary.

There is no issue in removing wisdom teeth and getting botox for migraines (or cosmetic or TMJ etc). Although you can probably do them the same day, ideally I'd wait till the swelling went down if injecting the jaw area...2 weeks to be in the clear.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

You could have had your Botox treatment for migraines the very same day you had your dental work done. Only fillers or other types of surgery should not be done when any dental work is involved. I hope this helps and good luck from New York, City, Plastic, Surgery.
