Botox gone or something else? (Photo)

Botox results take up to 1-2 weeks and last up to 3-4 months in new areas of treatment. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Dr. Emer

Hello, and thank you for your question. If you do have strong muscles and you only notice a minor improvement in the area, then you may need a higher dosage of Botox. I recommend only seeking treatments from a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with extensive experience with injectables. Such experts will know how much product to use and where to precisely inject them (while having an eye for facial symmetry and harmony) to achieve the most natural-looking results. During your consultation, express your concerns and goals. Your surgeon can assess your skin, determine the best approach for your Botox treatment, and ensure the best possible results.

If you are having some positive results from Botox but are still able to animate more than you'd like, the dosage needs to be increased in that area. While there are standard dosages given for Botox, it is frequently adjusted based on the individual patient's needs.

Increasing the dose of the botox placed in this area should address your concerns. You should discuss this with your provider.
