Diagnosed with Lyme disease, can I still get Botox/fillers?

Some patients diagnosed with Lyme disease experience some neurological issues with this disease, and since Botox is a neuromodulator and affects nerves and muscles in the injected areas, the patient should first check with their physician monitoring the Lyme disease before proceeding with treatment. To answer your question, there is no contradiction that I am aware of. Having said this, you can be sure that there have been no "formal studies" conducted on Botox cosmetic use in persons with chronic Lyme disease. It will also depend on what symptoms you have from the Lyme disease. 

Lyme disease is caused by the transmission of B. burgdorferi and other ixodes species.  This occurs from a tick bite.  The treatment is usually in the form of doxycycline. Acute treatment is generally for about 14 days and chronic infection is treated for a longer period of time. Other antibiotic may be indicated depending on clinical circumstances. This is best done by a physicians with training the management of Lyme disease or by infectious diseases specialists. There is also a more complicated and controversial subject of "chronic lyme disease."  Unforunately, there are individuals with chronic fatigue who get diagnosed and taken advantage of by quacks offering unsubstantiated treatments for individuals who self identify as having "chronic lyme disease."  The subject is complicated.  Assuming you have recent lyme disease diagnosed by legitimate physicians, complete your treatment before having botox again.

Thank you for your question. Lyme disease is not a contraindication to receiving Botox treatments. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to discuss your concerns and to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!
