Can I get Botox after a lower face & neck lift?

Question

How long should I wait after a lower facelift & neck lift to get botox on my face & neck? I’m specifically inquiring if I can get botox in areas where i am still experiencing numbness or will that interfere with nerve regeneration? Thank you.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes, it is safe to get Botox after a facelift and neck lift. However, I would check with your surgeon to be sure you are ready for the treatment. When you do have your Botox injections, make sure they are performed by an experienced, qualified injector to ensure the best possible result.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Yes you can still have Botox after a neck/face lift to help reduce muscle contraction.  Hope this helps.

While botox won't affect nerve regeneration, you should still wait a little bit before you get Botox. I would suggest waiting about a week. This is enough time in between for you to get your injections.
