Hit my head very hard 2-3 hours after Botox in my jaw. Will this affect the outcome of my procedure in any way?

Question

I hit my head very hard on my forehead and on top of my head 2-3 hours after I had Botox on my jaw to help with tmj and to slim my jaw. I'm very worried. Thank you.

No, it is unlikely that hitting your forehead will negatively impact your results. Keep in mind it can take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. The effect of Botox should not be affected. Please make sure that you do not have any other injury.

In my opinion, hitting your head 2-3 hours after receiving Botox to slim your jaw and help with TMJ should not affect the results of your treatment.

Lee B. Daniel, MD · Answer

A knock to your head is very unlikely to have any effect on the outcome of your BOTOX®, particularly as it was injected into your jaw. Remember that it does take between 7 and 10 days for the results of BOTOX® injections to fully develop, so try to put the knock out of your mind and relax. As an aside, you should get checked out for any injuries to your head, if you haven’t already done so.

Thank you for your question. Hitting your head 2-3 hours after getting Botox injections to your jaw for TMJ should not affect your results. If you still have any concerns please contact your injector. Best of Luck!

This will not affect the outcome of the Botox treatment. The area of trauma is not in the area of the injection and most likely not disturb the Botox. There is nothing that can be done currently and worrying won't change the outcome.

In my experience, hitting your forehead after getting a Botox treatment for TMJ should not affect the outcome of your treatment. I hope your forehead feels better!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

There should be no effect on the outcome of your Botox treatment to your jaw from hitting your head.  The product is injected into the muscle and would not be impacted by a blow to a different part of the head.

W.Y. Chung, MD · Answer

I would not be concerned about what had occurred. It will not affect outcome of the botox injections to your masseter muscles.

Vanessa Giraldo, MD · Answer

Dermatologists often recommend to not massage the area where you had BOTOX injections in order to avoid migration of the product, but hitting you head hard will not affect the outcome of the procedure
