LMM Member Posts: 44 From: Registered: Aug 2001	posted 10-17-2001 08:43 AM I've had two sessions with botox for my forehead and between the eyes wrinkles. The results are great for about a month and then the wrinkles start coming back, especially between my eyes. They're expensive ($600 for one session) and not worth it for such a short amount of time. What else can I try that would last longer, other than a browlift? Maybe it's time for a browlift? Thanks for your response! IP: Logged

LMM Member Posts: 44 From: Registered: Aug 2001	posted 10-23-2001 09:43 AM Thanks Joy! You mentioned that the browlift would last 5 years. What happens after 5 years? Do the wrinkles comes back between the eyes? IP: Logged

I have had my eyes done though, and a facelift [upper/kower] with very good results. It is five years now and the light wrinkling around my eyes are starting to come back a little, but it was wonderful results, and still looks good. I know 'they' always say that collagen and botox, etc. last 4 to 6 months, but that does not seem to be true at all. At least if the cost was lower, like $75 to last a month; then it would be worth it. Good luck. Joy IP: Logged
