1. Keep your head up
2. Not stoop over or strain
3. Not massage or manipulate the treated area; though you can apply light makeup after 30 minutes
4. Exercise the remaining facial muscles by frowning or smiling frequently
5. Not take aminogycoside antibiotics (e.g. gentamicin, tobramycin, netilmicin and amikacin)
  [Beware!! massaging or touching the injection sites and leaning forward or backwards can cause the injected Botox to spread and may result in a droopy eyelid or other unwanted facial weakness!!]
After 4 hours you can:
1. bathe/shower normally
2. apply make-up
The next morning you may:

Testimonials

Deciding to have cosmetic surgery is a major step in anyone's life, involving support, research and courage.Having gained the support of my family, and the courage to finally deal with the eye bags that had plagued my life since childhood; I set about finding the right surgeon. After a couple of false starts I had the very good fortune to discover Mr. Anthony Armstrong, who also came highly recommended from my GP.I appreciated his candid approach, and buoyed by his reputation as a surgeon, took the decision to undergo upper and lower blepharoplasty. I received very good information about the procedure and felt totally reassured by his delightful nurse and right hand Sheilagh. The operation was indeed straightforward, and I was left under no illusions as to how I would look in the immediate aftermath, so there were no bad surprises. I was astonished at how quickly the bruises receded, and how swiftly my life could return to normal.It is now 4 months since my procedure, and I am ecstatic with the results. The most important issue was to look fresher and less heavy, but still completely natural. I can confirm that the procedure has exceeded all my expectations, and I would urge anyone considering this type of procedure to go ahead, using the considerable skills of Mr. Anthony Armstrong and his brilliant team.
