Tested positive for Botox antibodies. Alternatives? What to do now? (Photo)

Asked By:mystlilith in Los Angeles, CA

Results show I have antibodies to Botox. What can I do now? Do I wait several yrs so my body loses the antibodies for the Botox to ever work again? What's strange is that I get Botox to my 11 lines (once a yr) & the Botox seems to be working fine in this region but my masseters are totally unresponsive (masseters require monthly maintenance). When I increase the units for my masseters the Botox seems to try to work like it's stuck in limbo but after a week it buckles & rapidly bulks up again.
