Can you breastfeed after receiving Botox?

Hello,
Thank you for the question.
There is no data that Botox is transmitted in milk when breastfeeding, however, it tis typically recommended not to receive Botox injections while actively breastfeeding due to potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant.
I would recommend an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results.
I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

Hi, thanks for your question. Because we don't have clear scientific evidence as to what effect Botox might have on pregnancy or breastfeeding, we usually recommend that you wait to have Botox treatments until after you have stopped nursing. Don't hesitate to speak to your doctor and provider if you have any further questions or concerns.
