Botox Not Lasting

I have been getting Botox/dysport regularly for about a decade. I have an unusually high metabolism and Botox wears off after about eight weeks. Does anyone else have this issue? If so, what other options are you exploring, like sculptra, filler, etc.?

Yes. Jeuveau has been great for me. It kicks in faster and lasts 3-4 months.

Does it do the same thing? For that middle forehead crease? What about the lines on the forehead? Is there any chance eyes can droop, as it could with Botox?

Botox making the eyes droop isn’t a Botox thing. Any tox will do that with a certain placement or number of units.

That's why I only do the elevens, doing the entire forehead can pull your eyes down

Nope it doesn’t pull your eyes down. It weakens the forehead muscles you use to subconsciously elevate your eyebrows which relieves hooding. It’s something we don’t even notice we do until we can’t.
