I Rubbed My Botoxed Area by Mistake 28 Hours (1 Day) After the Injection?

Asked By:canajen in Canada

I was having a shower 28 hours after my botox injection (between the eyebrows). I was washing up and got some soap in my eye. Without thinking, I rubbed my eyes and the areas around them quite hard for about 2 or 3 seconds. I'm really worried that I have spread the paralysis agent to my eyes/eyelids. Since it's after 24 hours, is it a very low risk, or a probably risk? Please help!!!!
