Not to worry

Scott E. Kasden, MD answers: Cheek and forehead tingling after brow line Botox

I live in Korea and went to have Botox for my brow line. The doctor did not advice or told me after procedure care, so I massaged it 9 hours after the injection. The next morning, my brow looks as if the Botox is working, but my whole forehead and cheeks are tingling too! Would I have paralysis? I'm scared!

 Botox takes 4 to 7 days to work.

You may have bruised a nerve or two.  Tingling is due to nerves different from the ones that move the brow.  Be patient, and you should be fine.
