I have asked this question multiple times and have just had people tell me to wait the full 6 months. I am 6 months post Botox and still have a terrible brow droop+ little movement+ a completely different eyebrow shape and no eyelids. What do I do? Is there any possibility this won’t wear off? Why is this taking so long and when will I ever see improvement? I am unrecognizable to myself.

Answer: Long-term results after Botox use It’s difficult to address your question in any meaningful way. Out of context. At a minimum we need to see pictures to understand what the concern is. Ideally, we should see before and after pictures. It would also be helpful to know how long you’ve been using Botox for. What’s this a single treatment? Have you been using Botox for many years? What muscle was being treated? Long-term use of Botox can cause muscle atrophy that can create a slight persistence of effect after the Botox has stopped working. Patience usually see this after having used the product continuously. I suggest you follow up with your provider or have a few in person second opinion consultations. It’s very difficult to make any kind of assessment based on the information provided. If dearest inability to move your muscles of facial expression, especially if it’s unilateral, I would suggest having a consult with a neurologist. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
