Is Botox Ever Permanent?

I have never seen the effects of botox to be permanent. Anything is possible but this is highly unlikely and in most instances, its effects should be competely dissipated by 6 months.

Botox effect lasts three months.  Although BOTOX itself is out of your body in a few hours, it takes about three months for the nerve endings to rebuild their ability to stimulate muscles.  Thus the effect of BOTOX is never permanent

Botox does not achieve permanent results. In a month or two, your pre-treatment smile will return so you don't have to worry!

Botox always wears off.  Different patients have different durations, but typically it wears off between 3 and 6 months.  Be patient for a while longer. 

Please don't be concerned. Botox is not permanent. If you had a significant number of units in the levator muscles of the upper lip to minimize the gummy smile effect, it may take up to four to even five months but it should resolve 100%.

The science of Botox is that it is a protein molecule that irreversibly binds to receptors used for muscle contraction. Theoretically, then, Botox should indeed be "permanent," right? Actually, every person's body makes new receptors, at slightly different rates, which is why Botox "lasts" longer for some and not others--those who make new receptors faster find their Botox "lasts less long," whereas those who make receptors more slowly have their Botox effect for a month or two longer.

You will eventually return to completely normal! This may take up to two or three more months, but should gradually get better over time as your body repopulates the receptors around your mouth. Next time, use less!
