Is It More Beneficial to Sleep on One's Back After Botox Treatment?
Answer: Lying down on back after Botox Thank you for your question. I typically focus my aftercare on restricting activities that make you hot, sweaty or flushed: Examples include strenuous activities, alcohol, saunas, hot baths, etc… This will increase your chance of bruising. If no bruising, by the next day, the you should be good to go. If there is, then I recommend another day to make sure the bruise is not getting worse. I am not as worried about the not laying down after four hours or sleeping on one side versus the back..

Answer: Sleeping on back after botox I usually recommend that when you're sleeping, it's better to sleep on your back and keep your head elevated with several pillows to help diminish the swelling.

Answer: Should I sleep on my back after Botox?
Since we don't know of any studies that have been undertaken on this subject, it's safe to say that there is no right or wrong answer on this one. As long as you are not lying down immediately after treatment (give it a few hours) you should be fine laying on your back or stomach.

Answer: Don't lie on your stomach for 4 hours after your BOTOX treatment. After a BOTOX treatment, I advise patients not to lie on their bellies for 4 hours. That's the only restriction I suggest. This is to prevent touching or rubbing your face, and possibly moving the BOTOX into an unfavorable location. Enjoy your BOTOX, and best regards.

Answer: Sleep well, and forget about what it might do to the BOTOX Dear Susue There isn't a scrap of evidence that sleep position has anything to do with the effectiveness of a BOTOX treatment. So don't lose any sleep over this. Sure, the fashion magazine will tell you to sleep on the back and there is something to so called "pillow lines." However, it is also very difficult to change one's sleep habits. So don't let anyone make you feel bad because you sleep on your side and not your back.
