Can I have caffeine before and after Botox?

P
pac99Nov 6, 2017

I think I read somewhere that you should not have caffeine after Botox injections. Is it safe to drink coffee before and after Botox injections? If not, how long before and/or after Botox should I abstain from caffeine?

Immediately after getting Botox, is it safe to raise eyebrows, wrinkle forehead, squint, chew, smile, wear sunglasses, wear hat?

Thank you for sharing your questions. BOTOX is a very safe treatment for wrinkles; however, the most important factor is choosing an experienced injector. Facial expression probably has no effect on the results; however, I would not wear a hat for a few hours. I hope this helps. Good luck,

Thank you for your question.  It is not common to experience a lump 16 days after a Botox cosmetic injection.  Best to return to your injector for an evaluation.  Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photograph. The specific wrinkles you have are particularly difficult to treat. BOTOX injections would probably not yield a good result. You might have some improvement following Erbium Laser skin surfacing and/or use of dermal fillers. Ma...

You are already getting treatments that may alleviate your asymmetrical look. If you don’t want to wait 10 months to see how that affects your jaw asymmetry, then a little bit of Botox in the overdeveloped masseter muscle will slim it down. If you just want to do the one side, then 10-20 Units m...
