I was exhausted and fell asleep (laid the side of my face down on my arm) an hour & 15 mins after my Botox, is this a problem?

There is just about NOTHING that you can do or not do that affect where your Botox is or will go. Just go about your normal routine and enjoy the effects of the Botox.

Thank you for submiting ypur question.  Sleeeping 1 hour after ypur injection should not affect your final results.  Best Wishes. 

Thank you for your question. Chances are you'll be fine if you had previously good experiences with the text. The laying down after Botox timeframe has not been studied.  If something does happen, then it should happen around the same timeframe as the rest of your results.

Botox should not be affected by anything you do outside of the office once injected. Please speak to your physician if you are concerned. Best, Dr. Emer.

I do not think that you will have a problem with the Botox. One hour after the injection, most of the Botox, has been attached to neuromuscular junction. The migration of the Botox will not be probable. If the droopy eye hapeens usually will show between 7 to 14 days after the injection.

Botox tends to set within an hour after treatment and other than commonsense avoidance of vigorous rubbing of the areas treated, there is no particular aftercare.  It used to be thought that position such as lying down could affect Botox but that was never proven and is no longer the advice given.  So there should be no issue with falling asleep an hour and 15 minutes after a treatment.  If still concerned, I would recommend to follow up with the treatment provider.

You will be fine.  If botox traveled that easy it would migrate south while standing upright due to gravity.  The rules about position are really just more tradition.

We don't want heavy massaging or intense exercise for the first few hours after Botox injection to allow the Botox to "grab" at the intended site,  but I wouldn't expect any adverse events after falling asleep on it even after an hour.  Don't lose any (more) sleep over this! I think you will be just fine.

I would not recommend that anyone do this. However, I've had more than a handful of patients ask me the same question after Botox and none have caused any problems with their injections. If you're doing to develop an eyelid droop or other issue it will likely develop within the first couple of weeks. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon 

You should have no concern. The main problem patients get into after Botox is rubbing or massaging the area. Drooping will not occur during a later period of time after 3 days or so
