How often can you get Botox injected in the same area - specifically above the upper lip to create a "lip flip" effect?

Asked By:annabelle11 in NYC

About 2 month ago I got Botox injected above my upper lip to cause my upper lip to roll out. I heard Botox in this specific area wears off very quickly, anywhere from 6 weeks-3 months. It was also my first time ever doing Botox as well, which I heard causes Botox to wear off quicker than usual. My question is, would it be okay to get Botox injected now (2 months after) in the same area again or do you have to wait a certain amount of time to inject Botox in the same area again?
