If I have Botox injections on my face will it stretch my skin?

No, once the Botox results resolve in 3-4 months, your face will go back to normal. I suggest a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps.

No, Botox will not stretch the skin. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months and then the treated area will go back to normal. Best, Dr. Emer

Botox does not cause the skin to stretch. It causes muscles to relax and the overlying skin doesn't continue to crease with muscle movement any longer so the lines improve. However, if Botox is injected into a forehead in a patient whose forehead has already become droopy and the eyebrows and upper eyelids are starting to sag, then there may be more sagging after the Botox because the forehead can't continue to help raise the forehead. But this is not stretching out the skin. Interestingly, there is a key area of the lower forehead that when injected helps raise the eyebrows and open up the eyes a little more.
