No, coughing will not affect the placement of Botox. I hope you enjoy the results of your treatment.
Botox should not be affected by coughing in any way. Potentially, excessive pressure or vigorous massage of the area immediately after could cause the fluid to diffuse slightly from the area it was injected. Diffusion and ill effects from botox injections are more likely related to dosages, placement and dilution.
This should not cause your Botox to move. Botox is injected into the muscle. Things that can typically cause Botox to migrate are increase blood flow to the face or pressure applied to the face. That is why it is advised not to exercise or get a facial or massage after the injection. Typically we recommend not to exercise for 24 hours, and not to get a facial or massage for one week after injection.
Thanks for your question. Coughing will not move your Botox few hours after injection. Enjoy your results.
Not to worry. Your botox did not move after coughing. You will begin to see the result in 3-5 days with full development at around 10 days to 2 weeks.
Coughing and Sneezing are natural reflexes for the purpose of getting rid of an irritant in your nose or throat. Although they can generate a lot of force and pressure, they will not affect your Botox treatment.Botox works at the muscles where it is injected. Follow the after care instructions from the person who performed your procedure. Typically this includes avoiding lying flat, exercising, sleeping on your face, and direct pressure/massage on your face for the rest of the day (at least 5 hours). The next day, you can resume all of your normal activities. If you have any questions or concerns, it's best to go back to the person who performed your injection.
A coughing spell is not likely to move or disloge the Botox in any way. Give it some time and you should be fine.
Thank you for your question. No, it is very unlikely (really super unlikely) that hard coughing would affect the Botox you recently had. Benjamin J. Cousins MDBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
Results will not be affected by this. Rest assured, your results will be the same as if you didn't cough. If there is a question about results, see your doctor at about 10 days after treatment.
Coughing cannot move the Botox which is actually attached to the muscle. there is no worry about that
Your best bet is to go see the doctor who performed the injection to determine if this is just a result of injection site trauma that will subside in a few days or whether the injection wasn't completed satisfactorily.
It appears as if too much Botox was placed or placed incorrectly in the chin. It will take a few months for the muscle to relax and return to normal. Please consult an expert with Botox for the best cosmetic results
It is really best just to inject the masseter muscle to slim the face with Botox. Please consult an expert with Botox for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
