I did botox on my gummy smile a week ago and I hated the results! How much time should I wait?

Hello. Sorry to hear you’re unhappy with your BOTOX® results. Unfortunately, there’s no way to dissolve the product, so you’ll have to wait until its effects diminish on their own. This usually takes about 3 to 4 months. Another option would be to talk to your provider or a different one about possibly injecting more BOTOX® to help correct what it is that you don’t like about your results. 

With Botox, the full results will be show in 2 weeks. You would get further change in your smile for 2 weeks and then after that it will wear off, it will take approximately 3 months till it wears off. I would say at this point this is a preview of what the botox will do, obviously you don’t like it so I wouldn't repeat it. The other option you said it was done near the nostril. What I noticed for the gummy smile I would actually do the botox in the upper lip close to the bottom of the nose but not along the nostril area, that can drop the lip without affecting your smile, so that is the other option.

Hi,
Sorry that you are not happy with the way it looks?  I assume your mouth doesn't move up enough when you smile?  The duration depends a lot on how much was injected, but in general it will gradually go back to baseline over 3 months, sometimes 2 months, sometimes 4.

It depends on how many units of Botox you received, but it generally takes 3 to 4 months for it to wear off. We typically want the bottom of the top lip to be level with where your teeth and gum meet when you have a big smile.

Hello and thank you for your question.  I am sorry you're not happy with it, but it does take 3-4 months for the botox to wear off .
