Hi I got botox in my forehead and it has given me an alien/frozen/blank look :-( :-( (not what I wanted AT ALL, I even told them I would rather have too little than too much, and we agreed on 5 units even though she suggested 10 units..Don't want to know what THAT would have looked like!! Anyway, I was wondering WHEN the results from botox with start to fade so I can look more normal/my own self ? Thanks.

Answer: No Such Thing As "Bad Botox;" It Is Only As Good As The Doctor Who Injects It I have been injecting Botox for cosmetic reasons for a quarter of century already. And fortunately, we've come a very long way from those early days when it was considered de rigeur to "freeze" the forehead and the scowl areas to the point that the forehead looked porcelainized and the person was unable to look angry when s/he wanted to. For many years already, by contrast, the intention of any treatment with a neuromodulator (Botox, Dysport or Xeomin) is to leave persons looking as natural as possible--allowing them to look more natural at rest and permitting them some freedom to emote normally, which sounds like the case here. The good news is that Botox effects typically last between three and six months and will wear of spontaneously and gradually over that period of time. Once the effects fade, it would seem reasonable to seek a second opinion by a board certified aesthetic physician with expertise and experience in the advanced uses of neuromodulators. You would do well to ask to see his/her before and after photos. Good luck to you.
