No restrictions for position after Restylane and Juvederm, but there is for Botox
There are no positional restricitons post Juvederm or Restylane filler injections, but many physicians recommend that their patients not lie flat or bend over at the waist for four hours after Botox. This is not proven to be necessary, as it hasn't been studied, but as it had been suggested many years ago for patients to be mindful of this four hour restriction we still advise so.

Is It Necessary to Sleep Elevated on Back After Juvederm?
No, it's not necessary for you to aleep on your back after having Botox and Juvederm IMHO. If you have had a significant amount of soft tissue fillers, sleeping with the head slightly elevated helps drain the swelling.

Sleepinng on your back after Juvederm is NOT necessary
No, anyway you sleep is fine. Icing is the most important for the first 24 to 48 hours after getting injected. Do not rub and you will be fine!
Good luck.

Very few restrictions after filler injections
There are no restrictions on sleep positions, however some patients may notice a slight increased swelling in the morning for a day or so after the treatment depending on areas treated and amount of product used.

Sleep upright after injectables
No. The only restriction I place on patients who receive Botox is to not rub or massage the injected areas for 24 hours. You don't want to possibly displace some to unwanted areas.

Activities after Botox and Juvederm
After Botox and/or Juvederm injections, I instruct all my patients to resume normal activities. I only ask that they refrain from rubbing the injected areas. There are no further restrictions on their activities or sleeping habits at any time.

No, it is not necessary to sleep on your back or with your head elevated.
No, after BOTOX® [or other formulations of BTX-A] it is not necessary to sleep on your back or with your head elevated. The BOTOX® will mostly have either been taken up by the nerve endings in the treated area, or washed away by your natural circulation, during the first hour after your BOTOX® treatment, so there are no restrictions for my patients after the first hour.
Neither is that necessary after fillers, except perhaps if your lips were treated. Swelling of the lips...
