I recall reading somewhere that Botox and Dysport may migrate within the first few hours of administration if you rub your face while it's still settling in. I have a Botox appointment planned for the early afternoon. Is it safe to sleep on my stomach or side that night? Or should I sleep on my back to be on the safe side? I'm concerned that pressure on my eye area or face might cause the Botox to migrate to unintended areas.
Sleeping on your stomach or sides is generally not recommended because it can lead to more wrinkles and faster drooping of fatty tissues in the face. However, after receiving Botox or Dysport injections, there is no medical reason for the products to migrate. These products are placed specifically in the targeted muscles and do not diffuse to the surrounding tissue.
Thank you for sharing your question. Since it will be several hours after receiving Botox, you can sleep in any position without worrying about affecting your results. Best of luck!
After receiving Botox or Dysport injections, it is recommended to take it easy for a couple of hours and avoid strenuous exercise until the next day. However, the preferences of the injecting surgeon may vary, so it's best to discuss post-treatment instructions with them.
After Botox injections, it is generally fine to sleep in any position. However, heavy exercise, lying down for 4-6 hours, and massaging or rubbing the treated areas should be avoided during that time.
