Can You Swim a Few Days After Facial Botox Injection?

I recommend that our patients avoid lying down or exercising for about 4 hours after injections with Botox. This prevents the Botox from migrating out of the intended area of treatment. After that initial downtime our patients can resume normal activity including swimming.

Our office usually asks patients not to exercise that day.  If it has been five days, your should be OK.  Best to double check with your injector first...

There has never been any evidence that swimming the day after Botox would interfere with the result.  Enjoy your healthy exercise.

After 5 days, it is perfectly ok to engage in physical activity.  This includes swimming. Any physical restrictions following Botox injections are based on how the patient feels.
In general, it is important to avoid:

 

1) Ibuprofen
2) NSAIDS
3) Vitamin E
4) Fish oil

They may increase the likelihood of bruising after the injections due to thinning of the blood. Thanks and I hope this helps!

I recommend you ask your injecting physician what they advise.  However, I only restrict my patients for a day.  You should be fine at this point.
