How much can you lie down following Botox injections?

April 26, 2016
Asked By:Tesssa in Glendale, CA

Had Botox today in my 11 line and a little in my forehead. Ran errands for about two hours before going home and then worked at my computer from my bed, pillows propped up so I could read, etc. Not fully lying down at all, more like really leaned back, but I started to fall asleep for about 15 minutes, then woke up. I didn't get any post op instructions but now I'm reading that lying down is bad for at least four hours after Botox. Do you think I'm in a safe zone? Thanks for your help.
