What are the risks of a procedure under general anesthesia after Botox treatment?
Answer: No problem I agree that there is no problem having Botox injections prior to surgery. As has been pointed out, though, you should be VERY careful about not having anyone apply any kind of undue pressure to the areas of injection for about 1 week after administration as there would be a small risk of unintended spread and migration. While this would pose to systemic risk to you, it may alter your ultimate results if the Botox were to spread into the muscles around the eye, for instance, giving you ptosis or a droopy eye.

Answer: Verify this with your anesthesiologist We are not aware of problems with cosmetic botox and general anesthesia. Are you implying that the procedure will take place some days after the Botox? Every Botox treatment is different from patient to patient as the number of units can be significantly higher or lower. This may make a difference and you should ask your anesthesiologist.

Answer: Surgery after botox There is not any problem undergoing surgery, even major surgery after Botox. There is little if any systemic absorption and the quantities used for cosmetic purposes are so small they are inconsequential.
