BOTOX with a beer?

Did you get your invite to the “Botox Party"? This is wild stuff: people gather for Botox injections at someone's house or a hotel banquet room. The atmosphere is social and festive, including alcoholic beverages. Sure sounds….dangerous.

While Botox the injections are quick and minimally invasive with few side effects or risks, Botox is still a medical procedure. Drinking alcohol before, during or after any medical procedure could not only affect your decision-making, but actually impact the outcome of the procedure.

Yes, Botox® is generally safe and effective - but only if you adhere to sensible guidelines that ensure that all goes smoothly. And if it doesn’t…best to have a qualified plastic surgeon administering your Botox; who better to successfully manage any unexpected side affects than a medical professional familiar with facial anatomy…and one who hasn’t had anything to drink.
