Hello RS! I had 4 units of Botox injected on May the 2nd. Today I was swimming but wearing my goggles on my forehead for a while. 8 hours later, I still have deep, round, goggle shaped dentation marks and this never, ever happened before Botox! Should this even out? I'm worried it's going to stick and not smooth out! Thank you.

Answer: Botox Thank you for your question. While it's difficult to make an exact diagnosis without assessing you in-person, or at least reviewing your photos, based on your description it sounds like the lines you are seeing are more likely due to your swimming goggles being too tight. Sometimes, sustained pressure on the skin can result in localized swelling, or even hives - this process has nothing to do with your Botox treatment. It should resolve on its own without treatment. Best of luck!

Answer: There is a relation, but don't be afraid Since Botox reduces muscle action, it might take a bit longer than usual for your skin to even out after pressure from outside. We see the same thing with wrinkles that come from sleeping on one side of the face, they can take longer to fade away because no muscle will 'stretch' the skin. A little massage would help to mimic what otherwise the muscles would have done.
