Q. If you are wanting to be pregnant and wanting to have Botox, would you say this may effect the chances? A. Thanks for your question. Botox or any other neuromodulator (such as Dysport or Xeomin) used for cosmetic purposes is not known to affect the ability to get pregnant, the pregnancy or the child during breast feeding. While the side-effects and complications are rare with these drugs, the additional medico-legal burden on the injecting physician  during this period of time makes it rare to be offered.  All the best to you!
