Is it normal that doctor pressed down really hard on injection sites pretty hard after Botox (crow's feet and glabellar region)?

Asked By:Kristina6347 in San Diego, CA

The doctor who injected me with botox pressed down really hard on my injection sites (crow's feet, glabellar region, upper forehead) immediately after he injected me. Hours later, l notice a hematoma on my upper forehead, and some slight bruising by my eyes. I have been injected for years, and thought that pressure should be avoided to minimize the possibility of migration, especially by the eyes. Is this unusual practice?
