Key Summary
You can get Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers on the same day. But that doesn’t mean the order doesn’t matter. Different experts give different recommendations on the order for the same day, so you need to consider the area of the face, the purpose of the procedure, the product, and whether you need to check the results of the first treatment. We looked at the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and FDA safety info as of October 14, 2026, three expert recommendations, clinical trials, and approval documents.
In 2016, 15 experts concluded that either order was fine on the same day, while a 2020 safety consensus recommended doing fillers first if it’s the same session. Experts in Asia explained separately the areas where they recommend Botox after filler and areas where they recommend filler after Botox. Instead of applying one order to all areas, it’s important to check the reason behind the product and area-specific plan.
The 1–2 week gap isn’t a mandatory minimum, but rather an option to let swelling and bruising go down and to see the results of the first treatment. However, if you experience severe pain, skin color changes, or vision changes after fillers, or trouble speaking, swallowing, or breathing after Botox, you shouldn’t wait for the next treatment—you need to see a doctor immediately.
| Questions | Answering first |
|---|---|
| Can I get them on the same day? | You can do both after checking the area, product, and your health condition |
| Which one should I do first? | It’s not that the order doesn’t matter; it’s determined based on the area and procedure |
| Do I really have to wait 1–2 weeks? | It’s not a mandatory period; it’s an option to see the reactions and results separately |
| What if you've already had a procedure? | First, you need to tell us the product name, area treated, date of procedure, and any remaining symptoms. |
| Which symptoms are urgent? | Changes in vision, skin color, severe pain, or issues with swallowing or breathing require immediate medical attention. |
In this article, we refer to botulinum toxin type A used in cosmetic procedures as Botox. For fillers, we explain based on hyaluronic acid fillers, which have a lot of research together with Botox.
What’s the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox is a medicine that reduces muscle movement, while fillers are medical devices injected under the skin to restore volume and contour. Both are done with injections, but they target different tissues, use different units, and have different risks to check.
In daily life, many people call all botulinum toxin products 'Botox,' but the units for each product cannot be converted. Fillers also differ by material, like hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, PLLA, and PMMA, so you shouldn’t apply research on hyaluronic acid fillers to all fillers.
| Distinction | Botulinum Toxin Type A | Hyaluronic Acid Filler |
|---|---|---|
| Target Area | Controls muscle movement by reducing signals between nerves and muscles | Adds volume under the skin to fix hollows and contours |
| Areas covered in this article | Forehead, glabella, eyes, square jaw, nose wings, corners of mouth, chin, salivary glands | Nasolabial folds, lips, nose, glabella, front cheeks, side cheeks, chin, under eyes |
| Unit | You can't just convert Units if the products are different | Injection amounts are given in mL or cc, but the product and area need to be checked together |
| Common local reactions | Pain, swelling, redness, bruising at the injection site | Bruising, redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, itching |
| Typical serious risks | General muscle weakness, double vision, difficulty swallowing and breathing due to toxin spread | Skin necrosis, vision damage, blindness, stroke due to accidental vascular injection |
Can I get Botox and filler on the same day?
Experts think the two procedures can be done on the same day, and there are clinical trials for certain areas, but not all product and facial area combinations have been tested together. The FDA's consumer guide also explains that safety when using fillers and Botox together hasn’t been evaluated through broad clinical trials.
In 2016, 15 experts concluded that botulinum toxin and fillers can be done on the same day in any order. On the other hand, clinical trials were carried out on specific areas like the forehead and between the eyebrows, with specific products and a small number of participants. So, saying you can get both on the same day doesn't mean all combinations are guaranteed to be safe.
If the areas are different, it’s easier to discuss doing them on the same day, but if they’re the same area or right next to each other, you have to consider swelling, bruising, adjusting the shape after the procedure, and the results of the first procedure. This is why it’s important to check the exact areas and products for both procedures in a single plan rather than just deciding to do them on the same day.
| Resources | Content in the resources | Points to be careful about when reading |
|---|---|---|
| FDA consumer guide | We informed that the safety of combining fillers and Botox hasn’t been comprehensively evaluated in clinical studies. | Having studies on specific products and areas doesn’t mean every combination has been verified. |
| Recommendations summarized by 15 experts in 2016. | Explained that they can be done in any order on the same day, and to see the response, it can be split over 1–2 weeks. | It’s not a clinical trial, and the manufacturer supported the meetings and manuscript preparation. |
| Asian expert recommendations from 2017. | Explained that different areas can be done the same day and the same area can be split over 1–2 weeks. | Though it deals with Asian facial features, it’s recommendations organized around products and treatment areas. |
| Safety consensus before and after procedures in 2020. | , it’s recommended to do the filler first and then the botulinum toxin. | This is expert consensus and not from a clinical trial comparing all possible combinations of areas. |
| 2013 randomized split-face study | Used hyaluronic acid filler first, then botulinum toxin on the forehead and glabella in 20 people | Since there were only 20 participants and the areas were limited, you can’t just apply this to lips, nose, under eyes, etc. |
If you’re doing them on the same day, which one should go first, Botox or filler?
Saying there’s no set order doesn’t mean the order doesn’t matter. The sequence can vary depending on expert recommendation, and the plan changes based on which area you’re treating, which product you’re using, and whether you need to check the result of the first procedure.
In 2016, 15 experts concluded that it’s fine to do either procedure in any order on the same day. The safety agreement in 2020 recommended doing fillers first and botulinum toxin afterwards in the same session, and Asian experts also suggested filler first, then botulinum toxin, to prevent the toxin from spreading outside the treatment area. On the other hand, for certain areas like the forehead and glabella, where muscle movement needs to be assessed first, they advised doing botulinum toxin first, then fillers, or spacing them 1–2 weeks apart.
So during a consultation, instead of just asking, `Which one should go first no matter what?`, you should ask about which areas will get which product, why the procedures are being done on the same day, and whether you need to wait to see the results of the first procedure before deciding on the second. If there’s going to be a process to refine the shape after fillers, make sure to check how that process and the botulinum injection order will be scheduled.
| Situation | The order to check in this situation | Questions to check |
|---|---|---|
| Different facial areas | The 15 experts concluded that it’s fine to do either procedure in any order on the same day | Are the two treatment areas actually overlapping or close to each other? |
| Doing two procedures at once on the same day | The 2020 safety agreement recommended botulinum toxin after filler | What’s the reasoning for choosing this order and the process of refining the shape after the filler? |
| Gradually evaluate muscle movements and remaining static wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows | One method is to get Botox first and see after 1–2 weeks if filler is needed | Is filler still needed after muscle movement has decreased? |
| Doing procedures on the same area, like the forehead or between the eyebrows | Either get filler after Botox or split the procedure dates | Why do it on the same day and what’s the difference if you split the dates? |
The order is a technical plan determined by the practitioner. This table isn’t meant to tell the reader to stick to a specific sequence—it’s a questionnaire to check the reasons behind the plan.
Does the gap between two procedures have to be exactly 1–2 weeks?
1–2 weeks is not a mandatory minimum waiting period for everyone. In 2016, 15 experts explained that this interval can help reactions like swelling or bruising settle and allow you to see the results of the first procedure.
You can do both procedures on the same day or split them into different days. If it’s your first time, or you’re treating the same or adjacent areas, or you want to distinguish which procedure caused a bruise or swelling, spacing them out makes it easier to track results.
On the other hand, just because 1–2 weeks have passed doesn’t automatically mean the next procedure is possible. If swelling or pain remains, asymmetry worsens, or you don’t know the product name or treated area, you need to check the condition and records first.
| Schedule | What does it mean? | What should you check first? |
|---|---|---|
| Same day | Plan two areas and products at the same time | Check if areas overlap and if there's a contouring process after the procedure |
| 1-2 week interval | A practical choice to let the initial reaction settle and see the results of the first treatment | Make sure bruising, swelling, pain, and asymmetry have stabilized |
| Interval longer than 2 weeks | Plan according to personal schedule or the progress of the first procedure | Product information and re-evaluation results from the medical staff in charge |
| While experiencing abnormal symptoms | It's not the stage to decide the interval for the next cosmetic procedure yet. | Should we check for complications and necessary treatments first? |
If the treatment areas are different, does the plan for the same day change too?
If the areas are far apart, like forehead, glabella, eye area Botox and nasolabial fold filler, you can discuss doing them on the same day, but for fillers on the nose, glabella, and around the eyes, you need to be more strict about checking the risk of vascular complications and each product's approved usage.
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in 2016 warned in a safety letter that if filler enters a blood vessel, there can be severe side effects like blindness, so it's important to follow product precautions around the eyes. The US FDA notes that approved areas differ by product and, on their general safety page, lists the nose, glabella, areas around the eyes, and forehead as non-approved areas. At the same time, some products in the US are specifically approved for under-eye hollows, so you can't determine approval just based on the area name 'under-eye filler'—you need to check the exact product labeling. Since US FDA approval and domestic MFDS approval are separate, you also need to check the approval details of the product you'll use in Korea.
Just because jawline or chin Botox, and lip or chin fillers are planned together doesn't mean the order has to be on the same day. You need to understand in one plan how changing muscle movement and adding volume each affect the overall contour.
Salivary gland botulinum toxin shouldn't be treated like muscle-targeted procedures such as forehead or jawline injections. The U.S. XEOMIN approval document separates the method for injecting the parotid and submandibular glands for treating chronic drooling. This approval doesn’t show the sequence for doing salivary gland procedures for facial contouring or fillers on the same day. If a salivary gland is chosen, check the exact product, procedure goal, which glands to inject, filler areas, and any existing swallowing issues separately.
| Situation split from repeated questions | Things to check first | Judgment in the manuscript |
|---|---|---|
| Botox for forehead, glabella, crow's feet, and nasolabial fold filler | Are they different areas, and the exact filler injection site and product for the nasolabial folds | Consult whether they can be done on the same day and set the order according to both areas and the procedure process. |
| Square jaw Botox and front cheek, side cheek filler | How changes in chewing muscles and volume design affect facial contours | The goals of the two procedures should be explained in a single face plan |
| Nose wing, mouth corner, chin Botox and lip, chin filler | Whether the same or adjacent muscles and soft tissue are treated together | Check by area the reason for same-day order or separate dates |
| Salivary gland botulinum toxin and cheek, chin filler | Product and procedure purpose, whether parotid gland or submandibular gland, filler injection site, existing swallowing issues | Don’t apply the same sequence as facial muscle Botox; check a separate plan |
| Nose, glabella, under-eye fillers | Approval sites for each product, response to vascular complications, anatomical experience of the practitioner | Safety of the product and site comes before convenience of scheduling |
If you've already had Botox or fillers, when should you consult for your next treatment?
Decide on the next treatment after checking the name of the previous product, the area treated, the date, and any current symptoms. If you've already had Botox, evaluate how muscle movement and symmetry have changed; if you've had fillers, first check if swelling, pain, skin color, lumps, or asymmetry have stabilized.
Units of botulinum toxin products are not interchangeable, and the effects of using multiple toxin products at the same time or within a few months are not available in the official documents. Fillers also differ in material and removability, so if you don’t know the previous product name, don’t assume it’s a hyaluronic acid filler.
If you don’t have treatment records, first ask the clinic for the product name, injection sites, and dosage. If there are any abnormal symptoms, don’t try to balance them with the next treatment—notify the clinic where you first had the treatment or a facility that can evaluate you immediately.
| Current situation | Records to check | Next steps |
|---|---|---|
| Already got Botox | Product name, unit, area, procedure date, muscle movement, and left-right differences | After assessing results and side effects, discuss the need for filler and timing |
| Already got filler | Product name, ingredients, mL, area, procedure date, swelling, and pain | First check for initial reactions and signs of vascular complications |
| Don’t know product name | Receipt, consent form, procedure record, product label | Don’t guess the ingredients—ask the clinic to provide the records |
| Worried about side effects | Time symptoms started, photos of changes, pain, and vision or breathing issues | Ask for current symptom evaluation before the next procedure |
Does getting Botox and filler together increase the chance of side effects?
It hasn’t been confirmed by any numbers how much combined procedures increase side effects for each product and area. So just because they were done on the same day doesn’t mean the risk is higher or that it’s safe—we need to check the risks of Botox and filler individually.
Common reactions to fillers are bruising, redness, swelling, pain, and tenderness, and these usually go away in a few days to weeks. But there can also be late issues like infections, inflammatory lumps, or allergic reactions, so just because everything seemed fine right after the procedure doesn’t mean later risks are gone.
In clinical trials of BOTOX Cosmetic approved in the U.S., the main reactions listed were eyelid drooping after frown lines 3%, headache after forehead lines 9% and eyebrow drooping 2%, and eyelid swelling after crow's feet 1%. These numbers reflect the outcomes with this product used in the approved way and cannot be applied to other botulinum toxin products or treatments for square jaw, nostrils, or mouth corners.
Such approval documents also explain that when used in approved aesthetic areas like frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead at the authorized dose, there were no confirmed serious adverse events related to the spread of toxin beyond the treated area. Even so, the warning to seek immediate medical attention if you have trouble swallowing, speaking, or breathing still applies. This caution does not mean that other products or non-approved areas are safe.
| Distinction | Possible reactions | Precautions when interpreting |
|---|---|---|
| Local reactions common to both procedures | Pain, swelling, redness, bruising | On the same day, it's hard to tell which procedure caused the reaction |
| Botulinum toxin | Drooping eyelids or eyebrows, facial muscle weakness, double vision, and rarely difficulty swallowing and breathing | Depends on the product, dose, injection site, and underlying conditions |
| Filler | Clumping, nodules, infection, allergic reactions, migration | Removal methods and delayed reactions vary depending on the ingredients |
| Filler vascular complications | Skin necrosis, vision loss or blindness, stroke | Even though the likelihood is low, the consequences can be serious and permanent, so immediate action is needed |
What symptoms should make you see a doctor right away?
If you experience unusually severe pain, changes in skin color, or vision changes after filler, don't wait—get medical attention immediately. The FDA advises that if the area around the injection turns white, gray, or blue, or if your vision becomes blurry or decreases, or if you have trouble speaking or sudden weakness on one side of your face or limbs, these are signs to see a doctor immediately for possible stroke.
If you have difficulty swallowing or problems with speech and breathing after botulinum toxin, let medical staff know right away. The approval documents warn that if the effect of the toxin spreads beyond the injection site, it can cause generalized muscle weakness, double vision, drooping eyelids, speech problems, difficulty swallowing, and breathing problems.
Bruising and swelling are common, but worsening pain over time, changes in skin color, warmth with pus, sudden vision changes, or neurological changes should not be ignored. Make sure to tell your doctor the time your symptoms started and how they've changed.
- Skin color changes and severe pain after filler
- Since there could be blood flow issues, contact your procedure clinic or an emergency medical facility immediately.
- Blurry vision, double vision, or decreased vision
- These are symptoms that require urgent evaluation for both filler vascular complications and abnormal reactions to botulinum toxin.
- Slurred speech or weakness in one arm or leg
- This could be a sign of a stroke, so seek emergency care immediately.
- Difficulty swallowing or breathing
- This could be a serious symptom related to the spread of botulinum toxin effects, so you need immediate medical attention.
What health conditions and medications should I inform before treatment?
You should let your provider know about infections at the injection site, past allergic reactions, neuromuscular disorders, swallowing or breathing problems, pregnancy and breastfeeding status, medications you're taking, and previous Botox or filler treatments. If you're getting two procedures on the same day, asking questions for only one procedure isn’t enough to check the risks for the other.
The BOTOX Cosmetic approval document lists infection at the injection site and hypersensitivity to the ingredients as contraindications and warns that neuromuscular disorders like myasthenia gravis and existing swallowing or breathing issues can increase risks. They also check for medications that can affect neuromuscular transmission, like aminoglycoside antibiotics and muscle relaxants.
Before getting fillers, you need to check for bleeding disorders, certain allergies, and any inflammation or infection at the injection site. Even if you're taking anticoagulants or medications that affect bleeding, don’t stop them on your own—make sure to inform both the prescribing doctor and the practitioner performing the procedure.
| What to inform | Why is it necessary? | You can say this during consultation |
|---|---|---|
| Inflammation or infection at the injection site | Botulinum toxin is contraindicated if there’s infection at the injection site, and you also need to check the risk of infection for fillers | I have inflammation or a wound in this area—should I postpone the procedure? |
| Neuromuscular disorders, swallowing and breathing issues | The risk of overall muscle weakness and breathing problems may increase | Do my disease and symptoms affect botulinum toxin treatments? |
| Pregnancy and breastfeeding | There’s limited safety data for botulinum toxin and fillers for cosmetic purposes | Should I delay cosmetic procedures given my current condition? |
| Medications and injections | Some medications can affect bleeding, bruising, or neuromuscular transmission | Should I tell which prescriptions I’m taking and until when without stopping them on my own? |
| Past botox and fillers | The products, areas, doses, and past reactions are needed for the next plan | I brought the products and records from my past procedures. Do they overlap with this plan? |
What should I ask during a Botox and filler consultation?
Ask about the product name and ingredients, the exact area treated, Botox units and filler mL, why both procedures are done on the same day, and the reason for the order and interval. You can’t just change units between different Botox products, and fillers have different properties and removability depending on their ingredients, so just comparing the numbers of Botox units and filler cc isn’t enough.
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety advises confirming the properties, possible side effects, labeling, and leaflets of filler products with medical staff. The FDA also recommends checking the type of product, risks by injection area, and the practitioner’s experience and ability to handle complications.
- What is the exact product name and manufacturer?
- Check the product name for both botulinum toxin and fillers, and for fillers, ask whether it’s hyaluronic acid or another ingredient.
- Which areas and depths are each product used on?
- Check the actual injection sites and the product’s approval details, not just the procedure name listed in the advertisement.
- How many units of Botox and how many mL of filler are used?
- They are different units, and the Units can't be directly converted between different botulinum toxin products.
- Why do it on the same day and choose this order?
- Ask why the order of each recommendation is different, if the two areas overlap, and whether you need to wait for the results of the first procedure.
- Who actually performs the two procedures?
- Ask who is responsible for the botulinum toxin and filler procedures, and if they have experience with the anatomy of the area and dealing with filler vascular complications.
- Are you prepared for emergencies with hyaluronic acid filler?
- Check if hyaluronidase (to break down hyaluronic acid) is ready for suspected vascular blockage, and if immediate assessment or transfer procedures are in place.
- Who do you contact if a side effect occurs?
- Check how to contact us during nights and holidays, and the procedure to evaluate vascular complications from fillers or abnormal reactions to botulinum toxin.
- Does it overlap with previous procedures?
- Show the names, areas, doses, and dates of products previously received, and check whether the planned additional procedure overlaps.
When Should You Choose the Same Day or Separate Dates?
If it’s different areas and both procedures are deemed suitable, the consultation can be on the same day. If it's the same or adjacent areas, or you need to check the results of the first procedure, consider splitting the dates. You should decide based on the area, product, and current symptoms rather than convenience.
The following table is not a prescription for deciding procedures but a guide to the consultation order. Especially if there are abnormal symptoms or you don’t know the product name, don’t rush into a second procedure.
| Situation | First, choose the area | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Planning Botox for forehead, glabella, under-eye area and filler for nasolabial folds together for the first time | Consult about availability on the same day | Different areas, but need to check the product, health condition, and overall face plan |
| Plan two procedures for the same or adjacent areas | Check the reason for spacing 1–2 weeks apart or doing them in sequence on the same day | Can distinguish between initial reactions and results from the first procedure |
| When Botox has already been done and filler is going to be added | First, assess muscle movement changes and left-right differences | After seeing the effect of the first procedure, distinguish between remaining static wrinkles and volume loss |
| When filler has already been done and Botox is going to be added | First, check for swelling, pain, skin color changes, and asymmetry. | Don’t let the next procedure hide signs of filler complications. |
| If you’ve done fillers on the nose, glabella, or around the eyes. | Check product approval and how to handle vascular complications. | Because complications in these areas can be serious. |
| If vision or skin color changes, or if there’s severe pain, trouble swallowing, or breathing issues. | Stop the next procedure and get checked immediately. | Emergency complication assessment comes before beauty schedule. |
How did this article check the evidence for doing Botox and filler together?
On October 14, 2026, I checked the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety’s guidelines for the safe use of fillers and safety information, 2 FDA filler guides, approval documents for BOTOX Cosmetic and XEOMIN, 3 expert recommendations from PubMed and PMC, and 1 clinical trial.
For parts where explanations differ, like 'Botox first,' 'filler first,' or 'either order is fine,' I compared regulatory documents, product approval documents, and original research articles again. The result was that the order doesn’t just not matter— it actually depends on the area and the procedure.
Expert consensus is based on real clinical experience but isn’t at the level of randomized clinical trials. The 2016 consensus disclosed manufacturer support, and the 20-person split-face study was limited to the forehead and glabella, so its results for specific products and areas weren’t generalized to all simultaneous procedures.
This article didn’t assess whether the same-day procedure is suitable for an individual, and it didn’t cross-check all approval details of products sold in Korea. Before actually undergoing treatment, you should check the latest product inserts and discuss your own medical conditions, current medications, and past procedures with your healthcare provider.
| Type of data | Role in this article | Remaining limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) and FDA | Product scope, approvals and safety warnings, consultation check points | Does not set the order or interval for individual patients |
| Product approval documents | Botulinum toxin units, contraindications, drug interactions, and serious adverse reactions | These numbers cannot be directly applied to products from other companies or unapproved areas |
| Expert consensus | Practical reasons for same-day possibility, order, and 1–2 week interval | Lower level of evidence than clinical trials, and some data supported by manufacturers |
| Clinical Trials by Area | Real-world study cases on compatibility and specific order | Limited participants, areas, and products |
| Branching based on user questions | Reference for dividing questions about area, schedule, order, interval, and side effects | Not used as medical evidence or source |
How Should You Decide the Order of Botox and Fillers?
You can get Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers on the same day, but the order does matter. Expert opinions vary: some say any order is fine, some suggest doing fillers first, and some recommend doing botulinum toxin first depending on the area. You should decide the order after confirming the exact area, product, purpose, and reason for doing both on the same day.
Waiting 1–2 weeks isn’t a strict rule; it’s just an option to let swelling and bruising go down and to evaluate the results of the first procedure. If you’ve already had a procedure, let your doctor know the product name, area, amount, date, and current symptoms, and then discuss the necessity and timing of the next procedure.
Changes in skin color and vision, unusually severe pain, trouble swallowing or breathing are not symptoms you should wait until your next appointment for. If you notice these signs, seeing a doctor is more urgent than additional cosmetic procedures.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get Botox and filler on the same day?
Experts say the two procedures can be done on the same day, but not all combinations of products and areas have been clinically tested. You need to check the exact product, injection site, your health condition, and previous procedures before deciding if it's okay to do them on the same day.
Which should I get first, Botox or filler?
Expert recommendations aren’t all the same. The 2016 consensus said either order is fine on the same day, while the 2020 safety agreement suggested doing fillers first. For certain areas like the forehead and between the eyebrows that require assessing muscle movement first, some guidelines suggest Botox first or to separate the dates, so you should check the product, area, and the reason for doing them on the same day.
Do I have to wait 1–2 weeks between Botox and filler?
The 1–2 week gap isn’t a strict minimum. Experts say you might leave that amount of time to allow swelling and bruising to go down and to see the results of the first procedure.
Can I get Botox on my forehead and between my eyebrows and filler for laugh lines on the same day?
Since they’re different areas, you can discuss doing them on the same day, but you need to check the products, exact injection sites, and your overall facial plan first. Just because it’s the same day doesn’t mean the order is automatically decided.
I’ve already had Botox—when can I get filler?
First, check the Botox brand, units, area, procedure date, and how your muscles are moving now. You can also wait 1–2 weeks to see the Botox results and then decide if filler is needed, but your current reaction and procedure plan take priority over a set date.
I’ve already had filler—when can I get Botox?
You need to provide the filler brand and ingredients, area, amount, and procedure date, and get checked to see if swelling, pain, skin color, and asymmetry have stabilized. If there are any abnormal reactions, assessing filler complications comes first before adding Botox.
Can I get filler on my nose, between my eyebrows, and under my eyes on the same day as Botox?
Before thinking about convenience, you should first check the approved injection areas of filler products and how to respond to vascular complications. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety advises following product-specific precautions in areas where there's a risk of injecting into blood vessels, like the glabella and the area around the eyes. Since FDA approval in the U.S. and domestic approval in Korea are separate, make sure to check the local approval information for the product you actually plan to use.
Can I get salivary gland Botox and facial filler on the same day?
Salivary gland injections should not be assigned the same sequence as facial-muscle Botox. The U.S. XEOMIN label describes injections into the parotid and submandibular glands for chronic sialorrhea; it does not establish a same-day sequence for facial contouring or fillers. Tell the clinician the exact product, purpose, gland, filler site, and any existing swallowing problem.
What symptoms after Botox and filler mean I should go to the hospital right away?
If your skin turns white, gray, or blue after a filler, or if you experience severe pain or vision changes, you should seek medical attention immediately. Also, after Botox, if you have problems with swallowing, speaking, or breathing, you need to notify your healthcare provider right away.
