What should I expect after scratching my face hard after Botox?

February 5, 2019
Asked By:adali82 in New York, NY

I scratched super hard on my face in my sleep 36 hours post botox! Even though not on the injection-sites, what do expect? In a hard situation at home, cry often and get stress-eksma on body, also face above mouth and on the chins and ears, woke up last night (36 h post botox in brow, glabellar, crows feet and quite low in procerus) of that i scratched very hard with both hands over the mouth and chins in my sleep. My concern is, because it was such hard scratching and quite close to nose (low procerus and crows feet) if it can migrate from this and crying often? Photoshoot in 8 days. So just have to know... Thanks!
