It has been 8 weeks since I got Botox injections on my forehead and between my lips and my nose (to reduce my gummy smile). 2 weeks ago I experienced a muscle contracting on my forehead. Last week i experience twitching on my left cheek and it felt stiff. Yesterday I had 3 separate episodes of a facial spasm where my left side of the lip contracted upward. After the episodes my face burned a little bit. Is this a side effect of Botox maybe wearing off or should I go see a Neurologist?

Ulthera can be done 2-3 days after Botox; however, may lead to a much shorter duration of Botox. I would recommend waiting until current Botox wears off then have the Ultherapy treatment done followed shortly thereafter or even immediate with the Botox treatment.
Botox will not help the area that you are describing. I suggest you consult a specialist in facial injections. Belotero does not cause the Tyndall effect. I would wait a week to see the results and if you are unhappy have Vitrase injected to reverse the effects. Best, Dr. Green
