Answer: The weakening effects of Botox are temporary Botox usually works in a reversible fashion.Your problem, in my opinion, needs to be assessed in person by your Botox injector / doctor.The duration of Botox effects vary depending on the dose and location injected. But in general full Botox effects last about 3-4 then dwindles down so that your muscles act similarly to before getting Botox.Thank you for your question. Without having seen you in person, I'm answering the best I can without physical examination info. My comments are meant for a general public discussion to help others who may have similar concerns. I'm also using my answers to build up library of information for my own patients and also to see how my answers compare with other doctors. There is always much for us to learn from each other. My answers are generalized medical information only, not directed medical advice. For medical advice please see your doctor/surgeon in person.Best wishes.Calvin Lee, MDModesto, California
