Is it ok to get a facial or Botox after just having surgery ?

Question

I just had surgery 3 days ago and I am planning on getting a facial tomorrow and Botox next week. Will it be ok ?

Urmen Desai, MD, MPH, FACS · Answer

It depends on what type of surgery. If it isn't surgery on the face, it shouldn't matter that much.  I recommend seeing a surgeon who you are comfortable with and who is a board-certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Best wishes!

Botox after almost any surgery is probably OK. The one exception would be facial swelling after a facial surgery. Good luck, feel good and look better...

hello. I see no problem in getting a facial or Botox after a surgical procedure. Just make sure you are not on any blood thinners -- may cause bruising. Good luck

Yes, there should be no problem having a facial and/or Botox treatments after recent breast surgery. Best wishes.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

If you are felling well, then it is probably ok. You should really ask your surgeon what his preference is.  Best of luck.
