When can I start Botox after Ptosis surgery?

X
xomeglouAug 24, 2023

I have had Botox previously but stopped getting it done 6 months ago as I had Ptosis surgery coming up. I had my surgery nearly 4 weeks ago and I can't wait to get my Botox done again. When can I start getting botox in my forehead and maybe around my eyes again? Is there more risk to Botox following my surgery?
