Can rubbing my eyes on the day of Botox cause negative side effects like ptosis or asymmetry?

July 24, 2017
Asked By:pac99 in Maryland

I plan to get Botox in the following areas: glabellar lines, forehead muscles, and lateral orbital lines. I have seasonal allergies and often unintentionally rub my eyes due to itchiness. I have tried all kinds of medications to control without too much success. On the day of Botox administration, is it likely that I will unintentionally migrate the Botox to unintended areas by rubbing my eyes? I’m concerned about having a bad aesthetic side effect like ptosis, asymmetry, etc.
