Reversing Botox Injections
Once Botox is injected into the skin, there is no reliable method of reversing the injection. That said, there are many treatment protocols that can help you manage the adverse side effects of Botox once it has begun to work. Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian has extensive experience in the management of Botox and filler complications and can guide you through the process in his Los Angeles plastic surgery practice.
The key to Botox reversal is to identify the cause of your dissatisfaction with the treatment. Botox-related complications are usually the result of three distinct problems, under-treatment, over-treatment, and muscle imbalance. All three of these issues can be corrected with an understanding of facial muscle anatomy.
Once your facial anatomy and muscle strength is evaluated, Dr. Karamanoukian will determine whether corrective measures should be taken with additional injections in order to create a more harmonic balance in your face. Fortunately, the muscles of the face have a balance-counterbalance function which allows the correction of Botox-related complications to be addressed.
