BOTOX -4 answers

My eye shape has change for the worse. They look smaller with saggy lids after 12 units Botox in my forehead and temples. I've totally changed the shape of my eye shape and size. My eyes had an exotic look and now that's lost. I saw the change happen in my left eye first and now my right eye has caught up. my left eye also has extra sagging in the lid giving them a lopsided appearance.Will my cat eye like shape and size return? If so how long? Is there any chance of permanent change?

'Liquid Facelift' is a term used to refer to the administration of a filler and botulinum toxin. The term is misleading because the results of treatment do not simulate a surgical facelift. Filler is used to reduce the appearance of depressions (cheeks) and creases (nasolabial and mentolabial folds, i.e., laugh lines and marionette lines) on the skin and botulinum toxin is used reduce facial expression lines, primarily on the upper third of the face (vertical lines between the brows, horizontal lines on the forehead and crows feet lines). A surgical facelift reduces excess facial skin producing less sagging and less laxity.

The liquid facelift is a combination of treatments used to improve the face. We often use Botox and Sculptra. As we mature our face starts to cave in. A young face is a rounder face, while an older face starts to cave in the cheek area. Sculptra works beautifully in the caved in areas to help you build your own collagen back in a natural way. Sometimes I also use a dermal filler in addition. This is a way to improve the face in less than an hour and not do surgery. It is also more affordable than a face lift.
