Plastic surgery has no contraindications in the form of Botox, if desired, you can do it. But it is better to schedule the operation for the period when the rehabilitation will take place. There are a number of reasons for this.

The effect of drugs during plastic surgery reduces the effectiveness of Botox.

If plastic surgery is performed immediately after Botox, then the effect of Botox will come to naught. Because antibiotics, anesthetics, antiseptics are used during the operation, which weaken the effect or completely remove it.

The plastic surgeon does not see the whole picture.

If immediately after Botox you turn to the surgeon, he will not be able to properly plan the operation. For example, if a patient corrected forehead wrinkles or crow’s feet with Botox, and then turned to a plastic surgeon for a facelift or blepharoplasty, then the current state of the face will be distorted. A plastic surgeon needs an original, a real face – for a long-term and effective result.

As for fillers, they are also not on the list of contraindications for plastic surgery, and surgery can be performed immediately since the surgeon does not affect the layers of tissues where they are located. However, the filler is also better to do after plastic surgery to improve the condition of the skin and replenish the lost volume. As, for example, in the case of blepharoplasty and lipofilling. When with the help of blepharoplasty, excess skin is first removed, and then a filler is introduced, consisting of its fat to renew the skin with the growth factors that it contains.

In any case, when contacting a plastic surgeon, be sure to inform him about what cosmetic procedures you did, and how much time has passed since then. At the consultation, the doctor will carefully examine your current state of the face and tell you what and how can be done in your particular case.
