Botox for the first time 2.5 hrs ago (forehead) and my son accidentally hit me in the forehead. Will something go wrong?
Answer: Hit in injection site, could something go wrong There could be a little dispersion from the injection sight because of the trauma, but nothing to worry about overall.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: No worries Life with small children can have unexpected surprises. I sympathize with you, but I doubt any severe damage has been done. I expect the botox to start working in 3 days and by that time you will have forgotten this minor hiccup. Good luck and no harm done!

Answer: Hit in injection site after botox More than likely getting hit in the forehead will not impact your botox results. Botox works by entering the nerve to decrease mobility to the corresponding muscle. The botox itself is unlikely to be damaged by this type of trauma. It is possible if the trauma occurred within hours of your treatment that botox could disperse to other areas unintended areas.

Answer: Hit in the forehead after Botox Thank you for your question kellymac83. I understand your concern. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. It is important to refrain from certain activities that may cause movement of Botox as they can possibly lead to side effects such as blurred vision. If I had a patient who was accidentally hit by her son 2.5 hours after a treatment I would say that there would unlikely be any major consequences other than the possibility of a bruise from the hit. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
