Is There a Way to Reserve the Effect of Botox on Jawline?

Hi I got a Botox (Dysport) injection on my jaw line 2 weeks ago and I'm starting to notice my jaw line slimming down. I'm satisfied with the result, but I'm concerned because my friend told me that repeated process of Botox injection make your body tolerant to Botox and will not give me the same result as it did in the first place? Is this true?

A: Botox / Dysport for wide jaw line.

I guess you could build up antibodies but I haven't seen this clinically. It's important to stick with intervals of 3 or more months between injections so that this isn't an issue. With the jaw line, I have had excellent results with Dysport as well as Botox. I prefer Dysport because it seems to last longer. Muscles undergo atrophy with not used. This is the case with the toxins and their effect. Therefore the treated muscle shrinks and this usually means less toxin needed at subsequent injections.  Plus I find that I can spread out the intervals more and more as time goes by. Stick with it, and feel your jaw muscles regularly so that you know if they are starting to increase voluntary contractions.  It's at that point you probably need another injection or at least a follow-up with your doctor.

Is It Save to Use Botox to Correct 'Lion's Wrinkle' 5 Months After Nose Surgery?

I had a nose surgery 5 months ago, and although it looks great already it is still healing. I soon would like to take care of the 'lion's wrinkle' on my forehead by using botox, but since the area is close to the nose and nerve paralysis is involved I was wondering if this would have any negative effect on the process of the healing of my nose (specifically the part just 'between the eyes') which is probably still a bit swolen etc. I am looking forward to your answers!

A: Botox / Dysport during and after surgery

The neurotoxins such Dysport and Botox are very safe and highly effective before, during, and after surgery. So don't hesitate and take care of those unwanted lines.
