Will Botox migrate if I wear a surgical mask immediately after getting Botox in masseter, temporalis, 11’s, and forehead?

pac99
I would like to get Botox in the following muscles: masseter, temporalis, procerus, corrugator, and frontalis. Would wearing a surgical mask immediately following Botox injections cause the Botox to migrate? The mask would likely place slight pressure on the masseter and temporalis muscles (where Botox has been injected). I heard you should avoid pressure on face after Botox. I don’t want Botox to migrate to unintended areas.
