Hi, 3 months ago I had my second Botox treatment for bruxism. 4 weeks after I went back to evaluate, and the doctor added some more. The same night I noticed the left corner of my mouth was frozen, and since then I have not been able to curve the corner of my mouth when I smile. My doctor said the Botox probably migrated to the risorius muscle, but that it is weird that I saw an effect on my smile the same day. Does this mean something else is causing the crooked smile, such as a damaged nerv?
I get Botox on orbicularis oculi, glabella, corrugator, frontalis, masseter, and temporalis. I also get cranial sacral therapy on face AND chiropractic on face to treat my bruxism/clenching/TMJ. My chiropractor applies hard pressure (thats slightly painful) on many areas of my face where Botox was injected. After Botox, how long should I wait to go back to get cranial sacral therapy on face & chiropractic on face? I dont want to risk causing the Botox to migrate.
Hi! I am wondering - getting Botox done soon. I have dry eyes and need to do heated eye masks daily. How long after Botox do I need to wait to do that? Not sure how long its possible for Botox to migrate after.
How long to wait after Botox to start yoga inversion exercises? I had previous instance where I waited 2 weeks after Botox to start trampoline exercise and the toxins migrated and caused partial facial paralysis. Now I am very hesitant to attempt anything and was too scared to do Botox for 4 years. I finally got Botox again 2 months ago but now I really want to start the yoga inversion with a special yoga bench. Can I?
I am reading testimonials about botox migrating outside of the intended treatment area and causing adverse effects anywhere from 5-12 days later. If adverse effects can occur 5-10 days later, why is it recommended that exercise, laying flat, wearing hats, etc. be avoided only for the first day?
I know you should not have heat on your face for 6 hours after Botox to decrease likelihood of migration. I know that many doctors do IPL 1st followed by Botox same day. My concern is that a common side effect of IPL is inflammation & redness, and these side effects generate heat in your face. I know heat/facial flushing immediately after Botox can cause migration. If IPL is done prior to Botox, will heat generated in face from IPL-related inflammation (side effect) cause Botox migration?
I would like to get Botox in the following muscles: masseter, temporalis, procerus, corrugator, and frontalis. Would wearing a surgical mask immediately following Botox injections cause the Botox to migrate? The mask would likely place slight pressure on the masseter and temporalis muscles (where Botox has been injected). I heard you should avoid pressure on face after Botox. I dont want Botox to migrate to unintended areas.
I'm getting Botox on forehead, 11's, temporalis, & jaw. I've read you shouldn't exercise 24-48 hours after to reduce risk of migration. I'm getting Botox at 4:30 PM & work early the next morning. My job is physically active and requires some heavy lifting throughout the day, cleaning, bending, setting up/breaking down folding tables, etc. Is this kind of activity considered to be exercise that should be avoided for 24-48 hrs post-treatment? Am I at risk for migration? Should I take off next day?
