Thank you for your question,
  I’m sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your results. Botox only lasts for about 3-4 months, so your facial shape will return to its normal state soon. Make sure you're choosing a cosmetic surgeon that is an expert at injectables, such as Botox or fillers for the best results. Best of luck!

Jesse E. Smith, MD, FACS · Answer

The great news is that Botox is reversible.  Botox usually lasts about three months before the effects wear off.   After this, the face will begin to regain the same appearance as before, but this may take 6-9 months from the original date of your last injection to occur.

Oh no Kanoko!Facial slimming--usually injecting Botox to the masseter (chewing) muscles--is a popular procedure for East Asian women. Performed correctly on the ideal patient, weakening of the masseter muscles produces a slimmer and more youthful face.I'm so sorry to hear that you aren't pleased with your outcome. Fortunately, the effect of Botox wears off after 3-4 months. So, even without doing anything, your face will return shortly.If you are ever in New York City, please come see our beautiful practice.

Before and after photos would help but rest assured that all the effects of the injection will go away completely

That is exactly the reason why people have to be careful when they ask the doctor for facial slimming. Of course the doctor should do the same and let the patient know if they will benefit.This procedure is not for everyone since not every person benefits. your Botox effect will wear off in approximately one to two more months and you will return back to your normal appearance that you're used to seeing in the mirror. Good luck from New York City

Nicholas Gentry, MD · Answer

Botox duration varies from person to person but for most people about 3 months duration is typical. One of the great things about a negative Botox result is that it is temporary. Your face should return to normal in a few weeks. Talk with your provider to help communicate what you didn't like about your results.
