Is it true that I should not bend down after Xeomin injections? (Photo)

October 4, 2017
Asked By:JZ808 in Providence, RI

This is my first time doing any cosmetic procedure. I'm scheduled for Xeomin injections for the 11's and forehead wrinkles. The assistants in the office mentioned that I should not lean forward afterwards. I have two dogs. It is difficult to manage them if I do not bend forward. I haven't seen this mentioned on realself. Additionally, I have been told by the doctor that there is no down time after the procedure. What should I expect? Will I look okay to go into public?
