Considering getting Botox and a little filler for under eye creasing when smiling. I don't have resting wrinkles yet, but am told getting Botox before wrinkles will help to keep from getting them. Once I do get the Botox and filler, will it look worse once it wears off and I don't keep at it? I'm told not to get it done until I'm ready for the on going commitment as it's not something to do just once in awhile. Is this true and will getting Botox in one area create wrinkles in another area?
Answer: Won't get worse There is no research indicating that Botox makes your wrinkles look worse. You can check this out for yourself by viewing your photos taken of the treated area before your treatment, then comparing them to photos taken once the Botox wears off.

Answer: Look the same as before treatment No, your wrinkles will simply return to their pre-treatment state. They won't look any worse, but you may find that they do because you'd be amazed at how quickly you can get used to your Botox results!

Answer: Can Botox make wrinkles worse if you don't have repeat treatments?
Botox can be preventative. For example, if an individual frequently frowns, the Botox can decrease the frowning, thus decreasing the lines that will appear in the future.
Once the Botox and/or filler wears off, you will not look any different than if you never had the injections. They only mask the effects of aging. Botox will last an average of 3 months, and fillers generally last 6 months on average - sometimes longer depending on the patient. Getting Botox in one area will not create wrinkles in another area. From here, I would recommend doing your homework, and choosing a physician with a great deal of experience. This will ensure you are able to obtain the best possible result from the treatment. Thank you, and I wish you the best of luck!

Answer: Will your wrinkles worsen if you stop Botox...
Botox is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures and it has been used by men and women for years. When correctly injected, it normally lasts for about four months. Botox is FDA approved and has been in use for over 25 years so its safety is well documented. Once the effect of Botox wears off, the skin will not be any worse than it was before the treatment. The aging process will continue if you don't reinject, but if you take a Botox break, you can usually resume with nice results. Be sure to consult with an experienced Botox injector to answer all of your questions.

Answer: Botox and fillers
It is a commitment, if you want to keep the wrinkles formed at bay, and help with volume, over time. Botox doesn't cause more wrinkles but because you've treated one area, you can automatically have other muscles in neighboring areas that are recruited and used instead.
