Hi, over time can Botox cause weakening of facial muscles, which can cause the face to sag and lose elasticity? I'm worried about continuing having Botox if this is the case. I have hooding on my eyelids and this could potential cause my forehead muscles to be become weak. And having Botox around my eyes can cause cheeks to sag. Please advise as I'm not sure what to do.
