Reversing Bad Botox Injections

When Botox injections go wrong, it can have a severe impact on facial aesthetics. This may be the result of turning to someone who is not a qualified plastic surgeon. Although it is not technically possible to reverse Botox injections, Dr. Maurice M. Khosh may be able to offer you non-surgical solutions to even out the effects and improve the appearance of the treated area.

It is important to only trust Botox injections to a reputable provider who understands how the muscles react to injections. Dr. Maurice Khosh is a highly qualified specialist in the areas of facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

When you receive Botox as a treatment from Dr. Khosh, he draws from extensive experience as a plastic surgeon who is dual certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery.

There are a number of common results that Dr. Khosh would expect to see from bad Botox injections. A completely expressionless face – otherwise known as “frozen face” – is the classic impression most people have of bad Botox. An experienced and skilled plastic surgeon of Dr. Khosh’s caliber understands the anatomy of the face and can limit the freezing of facial features with precision Botox injections.

The quizzical eyebrow, which is reminiscent of Mr. Spock from Star Trek, is another example of Botox gone wrong. One or both eyebrows are raised, giving the impression of someone who is permanently in a state of puzzlement. Fortunately, this undesirable appearance can be erased with precise injection of additional Botox into the overactive muscles which are causing the peaked elevation of the outer brow.

A more problematic manifestation of poor Botox treatment is a droopy eyelid. This complication occurs due to unintended seepage of Botox into the muscle which elevates the eyelid. Dr. Khosh can help to improve the appearance of the droopy eyelid by prescribing eye drops that help to stimulate a secondary muscle that elevates the eyelid.

Correcting Injections That Used Too Much Facial Filler

Although the terms “Botox” and “facial fillers” are commonly used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. If too much Botox is used, the effects are not reversible. However, Dr. Maurice Khosh is an accomplished plastic surgeon who can offer a consultation to determine whether there are any cosmetic solutions to balance out the impact of bad Botox.

Unlike Botox, too much volume resulting from overuse of facial fillers can be reversed in many cases. Dr. Khosh can use hyaluronidase to precisely target the undesired effects and reverse the impact of too much facial or cheek volume by dissolving the hyaluronic acid gel facial fillers. Often times partial dissolution of excess filler will resolve the issue; other times complete dissolution of the fillers will be necessary to allow re-injection into proper anatomic locations. This approach is often necessary for correction of overfilled lips. A consultation with Dr. Khosh will allow him to offer recommendations for correcting bad cosmetic work.

Consult With a Qualified Plastic Surgeon for Botox

The only way to avoid bad Botox is by trusting an experienced facial plastic surgeon to carry out the procedure. Dr. Khosh not only has the academic qualifications as a sub-specialist in cosmetic and functional surgery, but he also has extensive experience in delivering optimal outcomes for patients based on a focused consultation.
