How long will it take for Botox to start wearing off?

rrmaisha66Dec 24, 2017

i had injections 9 days ago below the corners of my mouth and at my chin to improve a frown. and i think that it will continue to get worse since i'm not even 2 weeks in. i already can't smile showing my teeth. it's awful and it's embarrassing. i'm so upset.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question and I hope you are doing well from your sepsis episode.  If you have had no sequelae or recurrence of symptoms in over 8 months you would be safe to resume injectable treatments.  I would be sure to discuss your full medical history with your injector.
