Is it okay to drive immediately after getting Botox treatments around my eyes?

You can drive yourself after Botox injections. Botox injections have minimal discomfort and do not require any anesthesia, therefore patients are able to drive themselves immediately after being injected.  I would advise speaking with your physician injector in regards to any questions or concerns you might have.All the best,

Hello and thank you for your question. Botox is a gentle and mild treatment and does not require anybody to drive you home or back to work. Immediately following your appointment, you are free to drive yourself. I ask my patients to not lie down, bend over for several hours or exercise for the remainder of the day. Other than that, there are no restrictions. Best wishes.

Hello and thank you for your question. Botox is a very safe treatment that does not involve any anesthesia. You can drive yourself home after your treatment no matter where you have the injections. Make sure you are working with a board-certified plastic surgeon and experienced injector to ensure the best possible results.

Botox, when appropriately and meticulously injected, will after approximately seven days relax the muscles and smooth away facial lines and wrinkling. While it is important to avoid actions that can cause bruising, such as excessive exercise, blood thinners such as Advil and Ibuprofen – you should not have any issue to drive immediately after Botox as long as you have not ingested any pain medication or medication that interferes with your perception and reflexes.

Botox and Dysport usually take two or three days to work so you should be fine driving yourself from the doctor's office.

You are able to drive home after your Botox treatment even if the area around your eyes was treated. Botox is a very safe, effective treatment with little, if any, downtime. Best wishes. 

Thank you for your question, it is completely safe to drive after Botox treatment, unless there is some major complication during the procedure. I hope this was helpful. Best Dr. Emer. 

Cheriedjb,

Botox has little immediate effect.  There may be very mild swelling at the injection for a few minutes but nothing that should cause visual obstruction.  The actual effect of Botox can take up to 7-10days.  Even at that point, it’s very unusual someone would have any visual obstruction such that they couldn’t continue daily activities.  Hope this helps.

Best,

Dr. Mooty

You need not be concerned, Botox does not affect vision, nor does it cause drowsiness that would impair your ability to drive. 

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  It is definitely okay to drive yourself home after Botox treatments as it will not play a role with driving or your vision.  Hope this helps.
