I just read, "Animal studies have shown that botulinum toxin can spread to a distance of 30-45 mm from the injection site." In your experience, does Botox migrate to other muscles in humans? Is there a way to help prevent this from happening, like trying not to move the muscles for 24 hours or avoid doing Yoga?

Answer: Yes absolutely. This ability of botox to diffuse is taken into consideration in the design of botox treatments. It is one of the reason we see unwanted effects and surprising facial effects. It is precisely why I developed the Microdroplet Lift®. This is a cosmetic botulinum toxin brow lift technique that does not freeze the forehead. It is based on injecting very small volumes of botulinum toxin solution between the skin and the muscles of facial expression that insert into the skin at the eyebrows. This results in a very precise treatment that prevents the unwanted effects that can occur when these products drift in an uncontrolled fashion.

Answer: Can Botox Migrate In Human Faces? Thank you for your excellent question. It is possible for Botox to migrate to an unintended muscle causing unwanted side effects, but this is extremely unlikely if the procedure is performed by an expert injector. To minimize this risk further, I recommend that my patients avoid bending, lying flat, heavy lifting and strenuous activities such as going the gym or yoga for 24 hours after the procedure. This is a good example of the benefits outweighing the risks. There were millions of Botox procedures performed in the US last year and that number is rapidly increasing. Please be sure to see an expert injector for the best results. Hope this helps and best wishes!
