Botox & other Injectable Toxins Talk

I'm scheduled for a Mommy Makeover in early December, which encompasses a breast lift, tummy tuck, and a significant amount of liposuction. What is the safe waiting period before I can receive Botox, Restylane injections or Xeomin Injection? Is it a matter of weeks or months?

In order to better understand the distinctions between facial features, could you provide a detailed comparison of marionette lines and smile lines, focusing on aspects such as their specific locations on the face, the factors that contribute to their development, and the ways in which they influence a person's overall facial appearance and aesthetics?

Hello, I had a Juvederm injection yesterday, but my face is still swollen. Will massaging the area help reduce the swelling faster? Also, I went to the gym on the same day I got the injection. Could that be why I'm experiencing swelling?

Hello, I'm currently in the process of deciding whether to undergo either Botox or Dysport treatment within the next month or two. I'm considering the cost differences and was hoping to gain some insights into how many units of Botox or Dysport might be required. I've discovered that two local offices will be running specials in October: one offering Botox at $11 per unit and the other offering Dysport at $4 per unit.

I'm curious about Dysport and Botox. What sets them apart from each other in terms of their ingredients, effectiveness, and side effects? Also, when would one be chosen over the other based on different people or situations?

I had HIFU and I have a Xeomin appointment. can I do the Xeomin?

For the past seven years, I've been receiving Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin treatments to slim down my lower face by reducing the size of my masseter muscles. Unfortunately, over the past two years, these treatments have become ineffective. It seems I may have developed resistance to Botulinum toxin type A. I'm interested in trying Botulinum toxin type B (Myobloc), but I'm encountering difficulty finding a doctor who offers this less commonly used option.

Do they have similar pricing structures? If they do, what is the reason behind the widespread preference for Botox among most individuals?

Dear medical professionals, I seek your assistance. I received masseter Botox treatment, and nearly six months have passed, yet my smile has not fully returned to its previous state. Is it possible that the injection process may have caused damage to my muscles or nerves? What steps can I take at this point to address this issue?

I had my first Dysport injections five days ago, targeting my crow's feet, forehead, and 11s. I'm satisfied with the results around my 11s and crow's feet, but there are areas on my forehead that appear untreated. You can refer to the attached photo. Is it possible that Dysport will continue to spread to these untreated areas since it's only been five days since the injection?

What could have gone awry? I received 60 units of Dysport for my forehead lines and 11s, along with a unit or two in my brow to lift it. However, I haven't seen any noticeable results, and it has been seven days since the treatment.

I'm 30 years old and began getting Botox when I was 28. Initially, I only treated my forehead, and then around a year ago, I started treating my masseters as well. Botox typically lasted for about 2 months before movement started returning. I switched to Dysport with a new provider after relocating. Dysport worked wonderfully; I received another injection, and it still worked effectively, lasting for 4 months. However, when I went in for a treatment a month ago, I didn't experience any change with Dysport. I followed up with additional injections, but still, there was no change. What might be the reason for this sudden lack of response to Dysport?

I visited a facility for Botox treatment, and the technician informed me that they were out of Botox but had undiluted Dysport available. She suggested a 1-to-1 ratio, meaning she would inject 20 units of undiluted Dysport instead of the prepaid 20 units of Botox, claiming it would have the same effect. I decided not to proceed with the treatment and am now questioning the accuracy of her statement. I haven't been able to find any information online about injecting undiluted Dysport. Thank you for your assistance.

What can I do to alter the appearance of my chin?

Hello, I've been contemplating getting Botox injections in my forehead and between my eyebrows. However, I do have dry eyes, and I'm concerned about whether it might worsen this condition. Several years ago, I had Botox in my forehead and experienced severe side effects for approximately two weeks, including nausea, dizziness, headaches, and a heavy sensation in my head and eye sockets. At that time, dry eyes weren't an issue for me. I'm wondering if using a smaller dose could potentially reduce these side effects? My primary goal is to lift the tails of my brows.

I've always been uncertain if waxing my eyebrows could address the appearance of my seemingly lower eyebrow or if it's just a natural aspect of my face. I've attached a picture from when I was younger, and it seems like my face was more symmetrical back then. I don't expect absolute facial symmetry, as nobody has that, but I'm bothered by the way my eyebrows look in photos. What could be causing this? Is it something I can resolve through eyebrow grooming, or does it require a more significant intervention like facial surgery or Botox? This issue is quite distressing to me at this point.

Had botox between eyes, frown lines 2 days ago... I see no difference.

Is it possible for Botox to address what seems to be a drooping eyelid, and what is the cost associated with this treatment? What can effectively correct my condition, and what is the cost of the treatment?

Are you receiving insufficient Botox treatment and paying more than necessary? Experiencing forehead and eye area movement six weeks post-treatment. I'm a 32-year-old woman who has been receiving Botox injections since I was 28. I've visited a reputable dermatologist in my city twice now for Botox treatments, and the cost is a flat fee of around $600 for a "full area." On both occasions, I was administered what the dermatologist referred to as "baby Botox." It's been almost 7 weeks since the last treatment, and I can still move my forehead quite a bit. While I don't have permanent wrinkles, I do have a very expressive forehead and a strong glabellar muscle. I'm beginning to feel like I might be overpaying for these treatments, especially since I can still see movement in my eye area. Do you think I might be getting charged too much for the results I'm seeing?

Can Botox injections in the nasolabial folds result in any subtle alterations to one's smile or the shape of the mouth when smiling?
