Botox aftercare: Really there isn't much in the way of aftercare. Yes you can sleep on your stomach. Just don't rub or massage the area.

Botox: The doctor should have post treatment instructions for you. We tell our patients:1 do not massage the area; 2) remain inan upright position for the first four hours following the injection; 3) use the muscle in the area as much as possible (ex. Frowning, squinting) the more you use the muscle the better the effects. (for the first 4 - 6 hours).

Care : Generally after care includes ice and keeping the head elevated for several hours. Check with your physician on specific recommendations.
