I'd like to get Botox but have read some discerning articles reporting that paralyzing facial muscles could cause the skin to later become loose and thus, sag. I suppose in some cases, the skin may have sagged either way, but my question is, could it cause sagging in skin that otherwise may have retained its firmness? I don't want to sign myself up for a facelift due to sagging skin. I'd rather have a little bit of wrinkles.

Answer: Will Botox cause the skin to sag?
Botox acts by paralyzing the muscles in a given area, causing wrinkles to smooth. Once the effects of the Botox wear off, the patient will appear the same as they did prior to the treatment. Prolonged treatments will not cause sagging of the skin. From here, I would recommend a consult with a physician who has a great deal of experience performing Botox injections. He/she will be able to best assess your needs and provide you with advice. Thank you and best of luck!

Answer: Can Botox Cause Saggy Skin?
Hi Natural. The only affect that Botox will have on your skin is reducing or eliminating the muscle activity that causes fine lines and wrinkles. Botox will not cause saggy skin or aging. As soon as it wears off you will look just as you would have 3-4 months earlier before you did it.

Answer: Botox and loose skin
There is no evidence that botox can cause loose skin later in life. To the contrary, frequent botox injections might even improve the skin texture by lessening the deep creases that become present over time.
