Can I damage my Botox, muscles or face by bumping my head about four and half hours after injection?

It is likely that by 4 hours after your treatment, the Botox was already absorbed adequately into the correct muscles. If it's swollen, you may want to put a cool pack on it but it should be fine.

Bumping your head should effect your Botox, especially if four hours passed (since most of the product has been absorbed and processed locally by that time). Ice is helpful. If you have any concerns about how it looks 10-14 days after it was done, you can check back with your injector, but everything should be fine. Good luck. 

Thank you for your question. Sorry about the head bump.You should be just fine and it shouldn't affect the botox treatment. Ok to ice as well.

The most likely answer is no, bumping your head in the way that you did should not affect the botox injections. However, there is a possibility that it may make the diffusion of the botox spread a bit more from the trauma or the inflammation afterward. I would ice the area (just as you would with any blunt injury). It does not sound like the injury was big enough to permanently damage your muscles or your face. I do suggest that you contact your doctor to let them know what happened and get their opinion on affect and what to do.

Your head and face should be fine after the Botox even though you bumped your head. Ice may help with the swelling and discomfort, but probably wont make a big difference in the outcome of your Botox.

of course you can damage the rest of your face at any time - unrelated to the botox...suspect there's a story about how you managed to whack yourself on the bureau...ice is fine...so is a helmet...

You may have given yourself a nice goose egg n your head but it should not affect your Botox.  It is ok to ice the area but do no massage it as this may cause the Botox to diffuse more than your injector would like.  Be careful with that head!

Did you at least call the injecting doctor? Best just to be re examined by him/her in person. Moat likely non issue - BUT......

I think it is unlikely your minor head trauma will alter your Botox treatments.By all means, putting ice on the area sounds like a good idea.Follow up with your provider if there are any issues with the results from your Botox treatments.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
