How soon is "safe" for getting botox to areas that have received fat grafting? Thank you.

botox and fat grafting

Postby dr. lam » Sat Dec 15, 2007 12:01 am

pretty much immediately. there should not be any kind of risk putting botox into areas recently transplanted with fat, especially considering that the forehead and between the eyes are typically not transplanted with fat. only the sides of the eyes are. in general, i would wait a couple of weeks to let the swelling subside so that you can "enjoy" the botox, i.e., when you are returning back toward a normal looking face. also, if fat grafting is still in its very swollen condition, it may be hard to make a read where the smile lines are to be injected. besides all of that, i think botox should be fine anytime after fat grafting.
