Bending forward after botox?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  There are many long-held beliefs about activity restriction after Botox, but there is no reason to avoid bending forward.  Botox gets rapidly absorbed by your tissues and is injected in such a concentration that it does not diffuse much once injected.  I restrict patients from exercise for several hours after injection but only to avoid bruising and swelling to the treated areas.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for this question. Heat exposure, bending and laying down are common activities which are to be avoided after Botox or Dysport injection for fear of the product migrating. Usually 24 hours, but laying down about 4 to 6 hours. Best, Dr. ALDO

There are no restrictions after botox treatments in my opinion.  I suggest talking to your physician if you are concerned.  Best, Dr. Emer.
