New Wrinkles After Botox - Are They Permanent?

Sporty3686,
The best thing about Botox is that it is always temporary. I am curious to see your before and after pictures, since I do a lot of Botox and have not see significant compensatory wrinkles like you are describing in my patients. Sometimes, when one area is smoothed out with the Botox, the other areas are more noticeable, but not "worse" than before the Botox. However, don't worry since once the Botox goes away in 3 to 6 months your face will be back to how it was before (including the crow's feet).

If other areas of are overcompensating, i.e. the orbicularis oculi, you may want to consider treating this area as well with Botox. The theory behind botox is to minimize facial expression and in effect decrease lines. If you continued to squint your eyes and create lines under your lower eyelids, you may develop more persistent lines. At age 22, your injector should think about the utility of injecting you with Botox versus using preventative measures such as daily UVA/UVB sunscreen and antioxidant skin care.
