My fiancé booked us a super fancy couples massage for Friday, but I got Botox in my forehead and chin on Tuesday and I’m worried I won’t be able to put my face in the little massage face donut. I know the official guidance is not to put pressure on your face for 1 week…but that probably extra precautionary, right?

I would reschedule

Eh yeah I wouldn't mess with it because it may move the product around and you just really don't want that. That's super sweet though - is there a way to move it? The other thing you could do is call the esthitician and straight up ask!

If you're still in doubt in the morning, I'd give your esthetician a call to see what they say. They're the expert!

I would do it. They tell us not to get a massage for 24 hours but you're well past that.

Is therr any way you could reschedule the appointment for the massage? It would be too risky to put pressure on it that early on.

Perhaps you can consult your doctor first if you have their contact number. I would just set the massage trip for a later date.

Yeah I think you can go for it, the precautions are mostly for the first day or two then you're pretty much good to go

I won't risk it If I were you. Can you still reschedule it?

Is there any way the session could be rescheduled? I agree with everyone. It's too risky. And it's too soon.

If you really want to have that massage, maybe you can ask your massage therapist if you can just sit up straight when it's time to massage your back.

I think it would be best if you ask your doctor about it, OP. I mean, a massage does everything you shouldn't do after getting Botox.

A massage, you can totally do something about, but a botox-gone-wrong sounds like a lot to deal with. I suggest you either reschedule the massage session or the botox appointment.

Sounds like a bad idea to carry on with the massage. Have your fiancé reschedule your session on a safer date. Better ask your doctor when that will be.

I don't think using your arms as support will do justice to the massage either. You can talk to your dr just to be sure.

Anyone with stage IV endo and recurring Endometriomas gone on Lupron after egg retrieval? I’m still on birth control but my doc said after egg retrieval (assuming we get a strong embryo), I’d get off of birth control and on lupron for two months before transfer. The reason I’m not getting off of birth control now is because it manages my pain.

I think living a frugal life and aiming to retire early makes a lot of sense.
