Unlikely: But i wouldn't do it if i were you. Wait until you are not pregnant and not nursing.

Yes but no: Yes you could but no doctor will do it if they know you are pregnant. I don't know of any proof that proper use of botox/fillers harms an unborn baby. But in our sue happy society lawyers can sue for anything. If the child gets a b in algebra, there will be some lawyer who will sue the doctor that gave you the Botox or fillers. In short if it was done while you didn't know you were pregnant, relax.

Not recommended: I would not recommend it. Although theoretically, it may not cause a problem, on the flip side, if your baby does have a birth defect, you will have to live with the guilt of the possibility that the Botox caused it.....Not worth it, in my opinion.

Probably, but don't: The only thing i would add here is that, while I do not offer Botox injections to patients who are pregnant, and i suggest you avoid it if you are or may be pregnant, if you find out later that you were pregnant when you had your Botox injections, i don't think you should worry too much about it as it is very unlikely that there will be any ill effects; it just hasn't been studied.

Fillers in pregnancy: There are no studies on injections of filler and neurotoxin during pregnancy. It is safer for you to wait for delivery.
