Does either doxycycline and levofloxacin affect previously injected Sculptra or Botox treatments?

Question

I had Botox 3 weeks ago (forehead, glabella and brow lift) Since then I have been diagnosed with cellulitis on my ear lobe. Neither Augmentin or doxycycline was working alone, so now I am on both doxycycline and levofloxacin together and this is working. My question is will either of these medications interact with my cosmetic treatments . I read muscle weakness is a concern with Levaquin and should I ask the EMT to change this one to prevent eyelid drooping?

Your antibiotic treatments should not affect your cosmetic treatments. If you have any concerns follow up with your health care provider.

No, this is unlikely to negatively impact your treatments. If you remain concerned, I recommend following up with your Doctor about recommendations. Hope this helps.

From my experience antibiotic running through the bloodstream would have no effect whatsoever on botox injections.

These antibiotics should not affect the longevity or action of either the botox or the fillers
