Botox 8 days before snorkeling, now a forehead line?

Question

I don't remember having a problem like this before. I went snorkeling a week after getting the Botox for my forehad and today, after 20 hours, I still have a mark across my forehead. It isn't as bad as it was at first, but a mark for this long worries me. Is there anything I can do at this point? Do I have to wait & wait for it to go away? The mask wasn't abnormally tight, just regular. Sorry, I am on vacation & don't have a way to do a photo here.

I also agree this isn’t a cause of Botox and simply a mask imprint that should resolve within a few days

At one week, the effect of
botox should be at its peek and I cannot see why wearing a snorkeling mask may
affect the result. Although I have never encountered this problem before, I
would expect the line to resolve over time. Good luck

Dear writer,  The Line on your Forehead After Snorkling and 8-days post Botox is most likely due to the temporary mark left by a fitting snorkling mask. Botox should not have this effect. I hope this information is reassuring.
