Is it safe to use Botox when you have been diagnosed with Hepatitis C?

Infections of all kinds are relative contraindications for botox use, which means it can be done, but may be effected by a compromised immune system.

Thank you for your question.As long as you are otherwise in good health and your immune system remains strong, it is probably okay to get Botox with a diagnosis of Hepatitis C. Botox is not metabolized by the liver.



To be sure, see two or more board
certified and experienced plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete
evaluation.



I hope this helps.

Although there shouldn't be a problem having Botox with your diagnosis, it would be best to clear such treatments with your GI/ Hepatologist.

Even though localized infections are a contraindication to undergo injectable treatments, I have not seen an explicitly reported contraindication to receive Botox treatments with a diagnosis of Hepatitis C. Universal sanitary precautions should be exercised with every patient. Trust your face to a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, a board-certified plastic surgeon, or a board-certified dermatologist.

Botox is a cosmetic product that has no known contraindication with Hepatitis C.  I would recommend you get medical clearing from your internist before you proceed.
