I asked for botox in the glabellar region for my frown lines. The doctor injected the entire forehead and I have a bit of brow droop which is also lopsided. Are there any known (or potential) things to do to help "revive" those muscles early?
Answer: Antidote for excess botox does not exist. Unfortunately there is no reversal agent for Botox at this time.

Answer: Reviving the droop with thermage and venus legacy This will wear off in 3-4 months. In the mean time, thermage/venus legacy and fillers will help improve this. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Reversing Botox Botox will last 3-4 months on average, but you may begin to see a return of some muscle function before that time. Unfortunately there is no treatment available to significantly reduce the duration of Botox activity. However your eyebrow function will return to its pre-treatment state once the Botox "wears" off.

Answer: Reversing botox Unfortunately you can't "reverse" the effects of botox. It will wear off eventually- in about 8-12 weeks.Ensure you see a board certified plastic surgeon/dermatologist for your treatment.

Answer: Reversing Botox effects?? Thanks for your question, sorry for your situation. This proves that it is of utmost importance to see a qualified injector. What can be done?? TIme and waiting of course but is there something else?? Even in my practice we come across a patient that will get a little too much droop on one side, rare but it happens. This can be helped by the use of filler to "lift" the affected brow to some degree. Also, not proven but you could try to over stimulate the muscles with a facial microcurrent device that may shorten the duration of the botox effect. Again, this is not proven but may actually work. Good luck
