Is it okay to get Botox the day before I get chin liposuction & breast augmentation?

Question

I want to get multiple procedures done: Botox, Liposuction and Breast Augmentation. Is it safe to do all those procedures while I'm under general anesthesia or should I receive Botox the day before and then get chin liposuction and breast augmentation or vice versa?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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.

Thank you for your question. It is possible to receive Botox injections before, during, or after your cosmetic procedures. However, I would suggest waiting to receive them after your chin liposuction and breast augmentation so that the effects will be more noticeable and you can adequately view your surgery results. Botox treatments are fast and generally performed every 3-4 months to maintain results.
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or expert injector. They will be able to answer any questions you have and help you decide on the best course of action.

It is ok to do Botox while having those procedures, as long as it is not in the areas of surgery. But your surgeon may add on additonal time while under anesthesia so you may want to avoid that. You could easily get it done at another visit as well since Botox is such a quick, easy treatment! Congrats on your upcoming procedures.

The title of your question doesn't match the body of your text, and you haven't mentioned to where you want to get Botox. You may certainly get Botox (any anti-wrinkle) the day before liposuction and breast augmentation. If you wish to get Botox whilst under GA for surgery, then get your doctor to mark where you wish to get Botox prior to the operation. Of course, if you're seeking Botox where your going to have surgery, i.e. same anatomical area (e.g. Botox for platysmal bands and liposuction to the neck), then get the Botox the day beforehand (as per the title of your question), i.e. don't get Botox to the same area at the same time as the surgical procedure.

You are able to have your Botox treatment while you are having your surgical procedures.  You can elect to have it prior as well.  Simply speak to your surgeon about this so arrangements can be made.

You can definitely have everything done at the same time as long as the doctor pre-marks your forehead and around the eyes as well as everything else that needs to be treated with Botox prior to your going to sleep. It’s something that we routinely do when asked by the patients. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
