David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

No, you do not need to take any special sleep precautions after your injections beyond what your doctor suggested.

	 

	Good Luck.

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

Sleeping with the head slightly elevated can help resolve swelling after your treatment, and you'll want to avoid sleeping on your face for the first couple of days to minimize the risk of displacement. After the first couple of days, you're fine sleeping however you'd like.

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

There are no positional restricitons post Juvederm or Restylane filler injections, but many physicians recommend that their patients not lie flat or bend over at the waist for four hours after Botox. This is not proven to be necessary, as it hasn't been studied, but as it had been suggested many years ago for patients to be mindful of this four hour restriction we still advise so.

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

No, anyway you sleep is fine.  Icing is the most important for the first 24 to 48 hours after getting injected.  Do not rub and you will be fine!

	Good luck.

No, you do not need to sleep on your back. I like you to restrict your activities for 4 hours after Botox injections.

	I prefer you to stay upright for 4 hours after the Botox. I also like you not to exercise the remainder of the day after either of these injection treatments . I like everything to settle and you do have tiny injection sites that i like to heal before you go out and sweat.You also don't want to rub these areas (Botox and Juvederm) the remainder of the day.
