Can Botox Migrate in Human Faces?

Plasticbunnyhop
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?
