Botox 5 days ago. Should I wait 10 days are go back now? (photos)

Good question! Botox takes anywhere from 10-14 days to take full effect. Since you are only 5 days post-injection, I recommend waiting for a full two weeks before you make any changes to your original treatment. It’s not uncommon for patients to require a touch-up, especially after being injected for the first time in order to find the exact amount of units that works for your body. There is a definite art to Botox injections, so the more experienced the injector, the less chance that patients require tweaking after their initial injections. If you are still concerned about a-symmetry after two weeks, it would be appropriate to call your injecting physician and schedule a follow up appointment.

Thank you for your question in regards to Botox.Botox can take up to two weeks for total correction. After two weeks, follow up with your provider who performed your injections for an appointment to discuss your concerns. Additional units of Botox m,ay be needed to help correct and/or achieve your desired goals. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Hello,It looks like your eyebrows are asymmetric. How much of this asymmetry was present prior to injections and how much was caused by Botox is difficult to assess. There is no way to reverse Botox but sometimes we can inject other areas to camouflage the asymmetry. I recommend seeing your physician so he can reassure you.Regards,J.  Phillip Garcia, M.D.

Botox will begin taking effect in a day or two, but in some patients will take 10-14 days to exhibit full effect.  It's safest to wait 10-14 days to allow this full effect to be in place before returning for a touch-up.  

Correction with Botox to even out the eyebrows could be attempted not sooner than 5-7 days. I would wait a little longer as suggested by others and discuss with the provider after an in person examination.BestDr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
