I Had Botox 7 Days Ago and Only Seeing Results on Right Side of my Face I'm So Worried?

It can take more than one week for Botox to take effect, depending on the patient. I would recommend following up with the physician who performed your injections, as he/she knows the details of your treatment. They will be able to perform a touch up if necessary. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck. 

Botox effects can take up to 14 days to show up. I will allow some more time for the Botox to continue to take effect. I've seen patients who have had similar experiences and things evened out after the 2 week mark. If the one side does not take effect, you can return to your practitioner and have it reinjected/assessed.

 

 

It can take anywhere from a few days up to two weeks for you to see the full affect of your treatment. Definitely follow up with your provider if you feel like you have distinctive residual activity on one side, versus the other.

Typically by 1 week, Botox should start to work. If you are seeing action on one side but not the other side, it's time to go back to the treating physician and see if it can be adjusted. It's not rare to have one side working better than the other side with Botox injection. I routinely invite the patients back at 1 to 2 weeks post injection to see if Botox is working as intended and touch up as needed.

I would suggest giving it another week. Sometimes Botox takes up to 2 weeks to see the full effect. You may just have one side that takes a little longer. If you do not see results in the next week I would go back and see your injecting physican.
