How often should I get Botox and how long does it last?

Hello my name is Dr Michael Sullivan, facial plastic surgeon at the Sullivan Centre in Columbus Ohio. I specialize in facial plastic surgery and I do allot of non-surgical facial enhancement with botox and fillers.

A question I’m often asked by my patients is “How often should I get Botox?” and that varys for the individual but in general I would say most of my patients come twice a year. Certainly in the forehead area and the area between the eyebrows, usually I can get that area to respond to botox and last for about 6 months.

The area around the eyes are a little bit different in that muscle is a little bit thinner muscle and tends to recover a little bit more quickly so around the eyes for the crows feet for about 4 months is as long as it’s going to last.

The first time patients get botox it won’t last nearly as long, maybe around 4 months. I do tell my patients to make sure they monitor their own facial expressions. So once you notice that expression starting to come back that’s the best time to do botox because if you do it at that point next time it’s going to last longer. If you just let it wear off each time it’s like starting over.

We want to repeat it just as we’re starting to see that muscle starting to come back expecting that next time it’s going to last longer, then eventually we get to the point where it’s lasting for at-least 6 months, or more. Some patients, I just saw someone today and their botox last them 8 to 9 months.

Welcome to Columbus Facial Plastics at The Sullivan Centre.

We believe that healthy, youthful renewal begins with science. Founded in 1996 by Dr. Michael and Christine Sullivan, our practice was the first of its kind in central Ohio. For 20+ years, The Sullivan Centre has led the way in advancing the science of beauty and providing only the safest and most effective surgical and non-surgical treatments for our patients.

I met Dr. Mike, Dr. Chris and the rest of the team in 2014 and have had the incredible opportunity to train and collaborate with Dr. Mike for the past five years. I officially joined The Sullivan Centre in September 2019 and could not be more excited to lead this exceptional practice into the future.

My goal is to provide you with the education and expertise needed to help you feel confident with your decision to pursue surgical or non-surgical treatment. I am proud to be a part of a highly skilled team that delivers personalized care so that you feel comfortable through every step of the process.

In addition to practicing exclusively in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, I also serve as the medical director for our non-surgical services. We are fortunate to have two of the most experienced aesthetic providers in central Ohio in their respective fields. Dina Maynard and Nancy Cotterman, RN have been caring for patients at The Sullivan Centre for a combined 25 years! You won’t find anyone with more training or skill.
