Am I at more risk for infection or is it more dangerous to get Botox and Rejuvederm when you are already sick?

I suggest waiting on any fillers or botox if you are sick.  Once improved the cosmetic treatments will have no risk of complications.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. Although it would probably be fine to be treated with Botox and fillers when you are sick, it is not worth taking a chance. In addition, you are also putting other people in the office at risk of catching your infection. It seems like putting off the procedure until you feel better is most prudent.Good luck,

Thank you for your question hastijenz. I am sorry to hear that you are sick. Botox and Juvederm are cosmetic treatments used to enhance the face. There have been no studies on these treatments on people who are ill so we do not know the answer to your question. In these cases I err on the side of caution and recommend to my patients to wait until they feel completely healthy before undergoing a cosmetic treatment. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

I would recommend you wait until your bronchitis has resolved before you receive any Botox or filler injections.  Good luck!

Although there are no scientific studies evaluating Botox and Juvederm treatments during an upper respiratory infection, it is best to avoid any elective procedures until you feel better. Beyond infecting others in the office, you wouldn't want a needle approaching your face if you are coughing! Feel better!
