How are all of you doing now? It has been about 5 months since the last post.

Hi! Sorry for what you are going through. Know that you are helping others by going public with this. Is it possible you were given inferior Botox? I could be wrong, but I am of the impression that Botox eventually dissipates. (it is not a permanent fix). As I understand it the Botox that resulted in this was just done in 7/09. I heard it lasts for at least 6 months. I would see a neurologist for a second opinion to make sure nothing else is wrong and wait it out. I am just a person, no expertise, but have had my share of problems in life. You will be in my thoughts. Keep us posted on outcome.

Thanks, for info. What is the implant made of? I just had purlane filler and it was an improvement, but not good enough. Does not give you the overall results. It also is temporary and it costs a fortune to maintain it. I don't regret it but as soon as it dissipates I will consider having a neck lift (face lift) with some type of implant. (A fat transfer was suggested). But, I want to learn more about the implant to decide.

BTW, I forgot to ask - only $3,000.00 for FX, brow lift and neck lift? Or, was $3,000 just for FX? Here it is about $3,000 just for FX on entire face. I got a quote of $10,000 from a plastic surgeon just for neck lift, inclusive of some fat transfer and a small area of dermabrasion around the mouth.

Do you think that the neck lift was the key to your success? My impression is yes, without the neck lift,(a neck lift as I understand it - is a face lift which automatically tightens the skin). Based on my experience as well as reports of others, FX alone would not have given you this wonderful result. Do you agree? Just trying to gain insight. Thanks,
