BOTOX IS A NO-NO DURING PREGNANCY

Although injecting Botox directly into the face is considered a fountain of youth for many, it is a big no-no during pregnancy. Research on rabbits has shown that using Botox during pregnancy can cause spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) or fetal malformations, although more testing is needed to determine how the drug might affect a human pregnancy.

If you received an injection just before conceiving or before you knew you were pregnant, tell your doctor right away and don't receive any additional injections during the remainder of your pregnancy. In addition, scientists have not yet determined whether Botox can be passed to your baby through breastmilk, so to keep your baby safe, you should wait until you wean your baby completely before you schedule your next injection.
