How to Sleep After Receiving Botox for Jawline Contouring
Disease description:
I have prominent masseter muscles, making my face appear especially large. I’m considering getting Botox injections for facial slimming, but I’m concerned that sleeping after the treatment might affect the results. Could you advise on the best sleeping position following Botox injections for facial slimming?

Hello,
Within 6 hours after receiving botulinum toxin injections for facial slimming, patients should avoid sleeping—especially lying flat—as this helps prevent the injected toxin from diffusing or migrating. Such diffusion may compromise the treatment’s optimal results. After one week, side-sleeping is permissible; by then, sleep position has minimal impact on the treatment outcome.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
