Last Tuesday I had some follow up Botox in my jaw after having some the week before that Everything was fine before the follow up. I didn't scrimp on my Doc & she was highly recommended. I can't lift my cheeks any more & look like a granny(it is funny) Doc said allow up to 2 weeks & should resolve itself. I have read it take 3-4 months, and some have even said weeks,but I am just looking for reassurence I will get it back-and any personal stories of where anyone has seen it faster than that?

The frontalis muscle i.e. forhead muscle is used to lift your eyelids and eyebrows. Botox works by the principle of temporarily paralyzing muscle activity, therefore your eyelids seem even heavier because your forehead muscles are weaker. It was mistake to get more Botox in the forehead since...
At average New York clinic the cost of Botox per unit is $12-$18. For your area of concern, crows feet (lines around the eyes) on average is 20-24 units. For lines around the mouth (lipstick lines) on average is 4-8 units.
A combination of Botox Cosmetic® and a thinner-viscosity filler such as Belotero® or Restylane® can be a great option as a more complete treatment than Botox Cosmetic® alone for deep forehead wrinkles.
