I just had 15 units of Botox above my brow line and in between eyebrows as well as for crows feet. I haven't had it in a while and totally didn't realize you aren't supposed to touch the injection sites for 24 hours. I pressed on a couple of the sites after to try to remove the dried blood and scraped a bit - I am so nervous that this could cause it to spread to other areas and possibly cause an eye droop. What are the chances I am going to have an issue - I am kind of freaking out? Thank you so much!

Answer: Botox Thank you for your question about botox. If you pressed just a few times and no very hard, you should not have a problem. Botox will usually take full effect within 7-10 days. At this time you'll be able to assess if more botox is needed. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Touched botox site after injection Hello Abmd32,Thank you for posting your question. It is unlikely that you will have any problems with your Botox treatment due to light pressure. Vigorous massage of the area or laying down flat would pose a concern. The effects of Botox should be seen in about 5-7 days, at this point you will be aware if there is any adverse reaction. Hope this helps!Best Wishes, Dr. Michael J. Brown Northern Virginia Plastic Surgeon
