I have recently had Botox (3weeks ago) and have today been snorkeling and now have a mask imprint along my Forehead?

Question

Mark along forehead still prominent 4hours after event Will this go away? what has caused this?

Louis M. DeJoseph, MD · Answer

No worries as this is not a result of your Botox treatment.  It will resolve.  I too love to snorkel on vacation and have seen this on my own forehead for several hours.  :)

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

The prominent marks on your forehead are likely due soley to the pressure exerted by snorkel mask, and not the Botox.  I suspect the imprint will fade over the course of the day.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I also agree this isn’t a cause of Botox and simply a mask imprint that should resolve within a few hours

Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS · Answer

Anyone who wears that mask for a few hours is going to have a prominent mark and it doesn't go away immediately.  This is unrelated to the Botox.  It should resolve gradually over the next 24 hours.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

The impression from the snorkel mask is unrelated to the botox, it should get better several hours after removing the mask.
