What is the ideal time duration for Botox after a chin and jowl liposuction?

Question

I underwent chin and jowl liposcution 4 days ago as i was suffering from double chin and wanted some improvement on my jawline. I am a person with comparatively chubby face but in the ideal BMI. i want to get botox for my masseter muscle for a more slimmer lower face. How soon can i go for the Botox as its only been couple days after my chin and jowl liposuction. I want Botox asap. please help.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I would recommend waiting about a month after the liposuction of your chin and jowls before undergoing Botox to your masseter muscles.  You really want to make sure there is no swelling left and that the area has healed before having the Botox done.

I would suggest to wait until  the bruising and swelling are gone . Usually it takes 2 weeks.Then you can safely get the Botox but please consult with your surgeon about that!

Thank you for your question. It is best to wait at least one month after liposuction before having Botox you your masseter muscle. This is because you want all bruising and swelling to subside before having Botox. However, it is always recommend to discuss this with your surgeon first as he/she knows all the variables of your surgery. Best of Luck!

Hello tashan123,Thank you for sharing your question. Always best to have the discussion regarding any procedure, elective or otherwise during the post operative recovery period with your surgeon first. They have intimate knowledge of not just your procedure but all the facts/variables surrounding your surgery. Heal first.

Wait until all the bruising and swelling is gone and then consult with your surgeon about getting Botox
