Yes, it's generally safe to get Botox and fillers on your face at the same time:
Complementary
Botox and fillers are safe to use together because they address different types of facial concerns:
Botox: Involves injecting a neurotoxin to temporarily freeze muscles and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Fillers: Involves injecting a gel-like substance to fill out facial contours and smooth lines
Effective
Combining Botox and fillers can provide dramatic results, such as:
Smoother, more supple-looking skin
Longer-lasting filler results
Safe
Botox and fillers have a good track record of safety when performed by experienced, board-certified dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or cosmetic surgeons
However, Botox and fillers do carry some risks, including:
Side effects: Side effects can occur, but most are minor.
Spread of medicine: Botox can rarely spread to other parts of the body, causing symptoms like muscle weakness, vision problems, or trouble talking.
Long-term complications: Long-term complications can include lumpiness, ridges, facial asymmetry, skin damage, and scarring.
You should discuss all possible risks and benefits with your provider before getting Botox or fillers. You should also be aware that Botox and fillers are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding people.
