I'm sure this is ok but I bent over for a quick moment to pick up something off the floor. Will that effect my outcome?

Question

Had 18 units of botox today, making sure my bending over won't hurt my results.

Paul Vitenas, Jr., MD · Answer

Thank you very much
for your question and congratulations on your recent Botox treatment. There
should be no reason that bending over, on the same afternoon as your injections,
will cause any issues. You should expect your Botox results to appear over the
next couple of weeks without any unusual side-effects. However, should you have
any further concerns, I suggest reaching out to your Botox provider for their
advice.

No, it is unlikely this will negatively impact your Botox results. Keep in mind, it will take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Bending over after a Botox treatment should not affect the results from your injection.  In my opinion, everything should be fine.

Annika Crosby, MD · Answer

Bending over should not affect your results! There is no evidence or data to suggest this would affect it! Hope you are loving your results!

Mark Chariker, MD · Answer

I wouldn't worry, bending over should not change your results. You will be enjoying your botox results soon!

Jon Kurkjian, MD · Answer

Thank you for your questionYou should be fine. I would take you bending over for a long period of time where a lot of blood rush to your head to cause a potential for complications. Botox takes 3-4 days to start working and peaks at its strongest in about 2 weeks. If at 2 weeks you are noticing something undesireable, return to your injector for evaluation.

Julia,
Rest assured, bending over will not negatively impact your outcome. The maximal effect of the Botox may take up to two weeks to be seen. 
Wish you all the best!Hardik Doshi, M.D.

Kenne Ogunmakin, MD · Answer

Great question! Do not worry, you will do fine. You should see maximum results in two weeks.
