Can I Get Botox® and Fillers at the Same Time?

If you’re looking to smooth wrinkles and restore volume to your face, Botox® (or neuromodulators) and dermal fillers are popular options. Use of both types of injectables continues to increase as people see the possibilities for anti-aging and facial refinement without the need for major surgery. 

Here at Dr. Brandon Plastic Surgery, people just like you come in to ask if they can save time and get both dermal fillers and Botox treatments at the same time. The short answer? Yes! 

In fact, Botox and fillers complement each other beautifully, offering a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Read on to learn more.

Understanding Botox and fillers

Botox and dermal fillers are both minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, but they’re very different in what they do:

Botox

Botox is a neuromodulator (in the same group as Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®) that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles (those made by movement), such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. It prevents these muscles from contracting, smoothing out existing wrinkles and helping to prevent new ones.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials that restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth out deeper lines and folds. Fillers are commonly used in areas like the cheeks, lips, jawline, and nasolabial folds.

Why you would combine Botox and fillers

Getting Botox and fillers in one session allows for a more natural-looking result. By treating both volume loss and expression lines, your results appear more balanced, avoiding an overfilled or frozen look.

Botox addresses fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle movement, while fillers restore lost volume and enhance facial structure. Together, they provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

When used together, Botox can actually help prolong the effects of fillers. By relaxing the muscles that contribute to wrinkles, Botox reduces the movement that can break down fillers more quickly.

If you’re already coming in for injectables, getting both treatments at the same time saves you an extra trip to our office and allows for a single recovery period.
