I had Botox 3 months ago, sometimes it feels like it’s wearing off then other days my face feels really tight!

Question

Hello, I had Botox slightly over 3 months ago and had horrific results! My whole face dropped and left me with hollow temples, sunken cheeks, and hollow eyes! Some days I feel like the Botox is almost gone,then other days my face feels tight as though the Botox has kicked in again, is this possible at 3 months! Also is it likely for my face to lift on its own once the Botox has gone? Many thanks!

Thank you for your question and so sorry you are unhappy with your results.  Botox cosmetic will wear off completely in approximately 3-4 months and does not kick in again.  Best to follow up with your injector for an evaluation.  Good luck.

I'm sorry you are unhappy with your Botox results. The good news is, Botox results aren't permanent, but it can take up to 4 months for them to resolve. Hope this helps.

James Haley, MD, FACOG, FPMRS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Your side effects are not typical, but Botox usually wears off within 3 or 4 months. As it gradually wears off, it may vary from day to day, but hopefully you will be back to your usual self soon.

Hello!! You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines, with results lasting up to 4 months! Best to see you providers in person to assess your results! Best of luck!!

Results from these treatments are visible within two to four days with results that can last anywhere from four to six months. It would be best to follow up with your injector to discuss your options and future treatments.
