Unclear about Botox aftercare (hot showers, bending over & fasting)?

Cat_Lover_3000
I’m 35 and planning to get botox soon. I am a little unclear on the aftercare and want to make sure I do everything right because I’m a little nervous. I usually take a hot shower every night before bed for my anxiety and bc I work in the morning. Would this be ok to do? Is it true you can’t bend over at all, like even just to tie your shoe? Lastly, I practice intermittent fasting. Would this be something I could continue doing in the days following the procedure?
