When can I start Botox after Ptosis surgery?

Generally, most surgeons recommend waiting at least 1-2 months after surgery. This allows for the surgical area to heal completely and for any post-surgical swelling or bruising to resolve. Getting Botox injections too soon after surgery could potentially interfere with the healing process or cause unwanted side effects. Botox around the eyes should be approached with caution, especially after ptosis surgery.It's crucial to communicate your plans to return to Botox with your surgeon and to follow their advice. They know the specifics of your case and can provide the most accurate advice.

Many patients enhance the benefits from their ptosis surgery by adding Botox treatments. Your surgeon is the best one to advise you on when you can begin this treatment as she/he is most familiar with how you've been progressing through recovery. Typically after a few months you can resume Botox.
