Is there a limit to how many times you can have Botox? Once your brows have dropped one time, is that it for you ?

Asked By:Anya S in San Diego, CA

My last botox treatment was 17 months ago. My eyebrows fell. My surgeon said "If you cause atrophy of the muscle it does not regain its strength & so can't raise the brows. You can't do botox again." Another expert said "If you re-injected these specific muscles repeatedly over a short period of time to cause such a semi-permanent relaxation, then you can atrophy them, but you won't cause your eyebrows to droop more over time. It might actually delay further drooping." Whose right? Anya (70)
