Get botox while I'm in mexico for sleeve surgery?

[O.T.R. sleever 3,386]

Is it really a good idea to introduce botulism to a body that is recovering from a major surgery?

I have no idea ... I figured they were far away from each other so it would be ok lol

I'm actually interested in Restylane or Juvaderm for the hollows under my eyes.

Oh ok.. Ya skeered me there! It definitely won't work for those who have a rough recovery' date=' I guess. From what I read there are quite a few who are feeling awful and would not even be able to make it around TJ let alone off to another dr appt.

I feel VERY fortunate[/quote']

There isn't much "healing" from Botox is there? I figure ill be relaxing for a few days and having naps Inbetween my walks so it would be a good time to try?? In Nz it's around $600/$700 too. I'm doing single incision so I should be up for a short cab ride. Surgery sat - book it for Wednesday? Leaving TJ Thursday

If this is your first time experimenting with Botox, you shouldn't do it simply because you could be allergic to it and the warning signs of an allergic reaction are pretty close if not identical to things you may experience after your surgery. For example: nausea, Diarrhea, stomach pain, pain spreading to your arm or shoulder, fever, cough, flu like symptoms....these could also point to a problem with your sleeve. How will you be able to pin point the source of the problem?

Hi Rollargirl,

I LOVE BOTOX! However, I get a little dizzy & get a dull headache for about 4-7 days after....

I would rather combine what I can while I'm down there because I don't plan on going back so since its cheaper for fillers etc. down there then I want to go ahead and get it all at one time.

I get scared about the fillers while losing weight, what about if your face gets super skinny those fillers take about a year to go away and then you have a lumpy face maybe I'm paranoid lol I'm not getting Botox or fillers until I'm at goal which is in about 30 lbs

[rollargirl 210]

Yes agreed ladies - prob not the best idea to try 2 drastic things I've never done before haha

[Ms.AntiBand 2,984]

Well..dang! I guess I'm a fortunate person. No pain or issues with my surgery and then got Botox without any pain or issues and couldn't even tell I got it until I looked in mirror. I am humbled for sure.

My dermatologist in the states Dr Kim here in Tacoma would disagree with you on that.

Thats OK, its just a personal opinion.

I was thinking of doing something while I was there. Dr Quinones works in one hospital and Sanchez Medical services has 2 hospitals, the other for plastics. I would had loved to get these lines filled in around my eyes lol. Money wise I could not:( Good lucka nd congrats!!!

Do you think we have to get an appointment? Or could you call them up if everything is going great get in pretty quickly? I don't want to take a bunch of cash with out a reason. But I would do botox! Is there a way to have a skin prick and then wait 24 hours (like hair color) to see if one is allergic? What a great idea.

I'm sure they will get you in if you decide you want it.
