Botox wearing off after 3 weeks? (photos)

Question

3 weeks ago I got 24 units in forehead and 11 lines. I'm unhappy as my inner brow has dropped. I'm not looking to get retreated but praying it wares off quickly. purposely raising my eyebrows I see the tails lift and my forehead wrinkles a bit more. After a few seconds still trying to lift I can literally see the forehead dropping back down by itself. my question is this a glimmer or hope that it could be wearing off And does this mean I could get my pre Botox brows back before 3 months?

Dear dannyme,It sounds from what you were saying you had a appropriate dose for the two areas. It looks like your Botox was injected centrally but not laterally on the forehead, which may give the appearance that the wrinkles on the side of your forehead are more prominent. You have what some people call "demon brows" because they are raised on the ends. A bit of Botox at the tails will correct this. How long Botox lasts varies greatly amongst patients, but in 80% of women if treated appropriately and with the right does it should last 3-4 months. Good luck!Nirmal R.

There is no way to reverse the service you had but a correcting treatment will make the forehead look much more natural. I generally recommend superimposing a Microdroplet Lift® service about 4 to 6 weeks after the original treatment.  If you do nothing, the forehead changes are likely to persist for months.

It can take up to 3-4 months for Botox results to resolve, but it is gradual. If you're unhappy with your results, venus legacy treatments can give improvement. Best, Dr. Emer

This may be due to placement and a touch-up of Botox can give improvement I recommend following up with your injector. It can take up to 2 weeks for final results after a touch-up. However, if you don't want to have a touch-up, it sounds like you are starting to get movement. Results will continue to gradually resolve, but can take up to 3-4 months to return to normal. Hope this helps.

Hello. Everyone reacts differently to Botox / Xeomin / Dysport but usually results last 3 to 4 months. Your result depends on the musculature of your face, the depth of your wrinkles, and also the way your Botox was prepared and administered. If you change your mind, a touch up session could definitely achieve the goals you are looking for. Otherwise I would just wait until the effects of the Botox go away gradually in the next few months. Best of luck, Dr. Ardesh
