Botox after birth

If I’m not breastfeeding is there a time limit on getting Botox re done after birth? I’m due to give birth in a few weeks and would like my Botox done again 🤣 would be good to get it done prior to our newborn family photos! Anyone else had it done quite quickly after birth?

I get medical Botox and my consultant wouldn’t do it if I was bf.

ecossegirl91 · 05/06/2025 09:58

I’m not planning to bf so hopefully should be fine!

I did it two times after birth so no worries. I do follow a routine though post that to maintain the same. Here goes my routine if you would be interested:
Morning:
Using water to wash your face,
Sebamed clear face gel,
LRP spf on my face
Cicaplast
Evening:
LRP moisturizer,
Tretinoin (0.1) from skinorac
Sebamed clear facial gel

Just remember that facial expressions are a huge part of the way you communicate with infants and young children. I speak as someone who had Botox when my son was 2 and I regretted it - he would sort of peer at me confused a lot of the time. Our interactions got better once I could raise my eyebrows again Grin

I have a young child also (2.8) he seems ok with the Botox at the moment 🤣 (started when he was 18m-ish)

Agreed. Facial expression is the most important thing with new borns.

When I have my Botox in I can still smile and laugh, make a silly face, make a scared face or a sad face, and raise my eyebrows. It just stops me having crows feet, 11s and forehead lines when I do it 🤣

I don’t think her baby will be emotionally damaged because she has smooth forehead. 🙄

Lol agreed!

No one is saying a baby would be emotionally damaged 🙄

Read my post. I was saying that in my own personal experience it made communicating with my child harder.

I would argue if you can’t raise your eyebrows or make any expressions then you’ve had too much! The only expression I struggle with a little is frowning. And I guess you don’t want to be frowning at your baby…
