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?

Thank you for your question If you won't have surgery to your face or neck, You can have injections whenever you want after the procedure or even during the surgery.Good Luck

What is the recommended timeframe for receiving Xeomin and dermal fillers after undergoing plastic surgery?

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?

Marionette lines and smile lines, also known as nasolabial folds, are two types of facial lines that can become more prominent with age. However, they are not the same and are located in different areas of the face.Smile Lines:&nbsp;These are the lines that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth. They're often referred to as "smile lines" because they can become more noticeable when you smile. Over time, due to various factors like aging, sun damage, or smoking, these lines can become more pronounced even when you're not smiling.Marionette Lines:&nbsp;These are the lines that run vertically from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin, giving the appearance of a downturned mouth. The term "marionette lines" comes from the resemblance to a marionette puppet's mouth. As with smile lines, these can become more prominent with age, sun exposure, and other lifestyle factors.Both marionette lines and smile lines are common signs of aging. There are various cosmetic treatments available to reduce their appearance, including both non-surgical and surgical solutions.Both marionette lines and smile lines are common signs of aging.

What are the differences between marionette lines and smile lines?

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?

Massaging the area where you got the Juvederm might seem like a good idea to reduce swelling, but it can actually cause more issues, like uneven distribution of the filler. As for the gym, it’s definitely better to avoid any heavy exercise right after any fillers because it can increase swelling and bruising. If the swelling persists, consult with your injector for further advice.

Swelling After Juvederm Injection—Should I Massage It?

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.

Hello,Thank you for sharing your question and photo.Typically you need 2.5-3x as many Dysport units compared to Botox units so the cost is approximately the same. Both products work well and most patients will find they cannot tell the difference between the two. I compare Botox and Dysport to Coke and Pepsi. I recommend my patients to try both and find their own personal preference.I would start conservatively if you are only planning to treat the forehead and not the glabella (area between the eyebrows), as sometimes it can cause the brows to feel heavy due to unopposed paralysis. I recommend simultaneous treatment of both the forehead and glabella for a more balanced result. 10-12 units would be a good place to start for the forehead alone. As always, please see an experienced, board-certified injector.Hope this helps!

Which is better, Botox or Dysport? How many units would be required to address my forehead wrinkles?

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?

both are toxin injections brands, actually somehow are the same, different in price and quality

Hello and thank you for your question. You can get your Xeomin injection.

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.

Botox resistance is very rare. It's estimated that 1 patient out of 10000 develops Botox resistance. The most common reason that Botox does not work is that not enough dose was administered. The same dosage does not work for every patient. Some patients may need additional dosage to reach an effective level of muscle weakness. In some cases, Botox that was used on a patient can be overdiluted or even old. You should always have a follow-up appointment 7 to 10 days after your initial treatment so your doctor can see the results and apply more if needed to correct the problem areas. Good luck.

What alternatives or suggestions do you have for individuals who are unresponsive to Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin?

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

The price of Botox operation depends on several factors such as the difficulty of your case and your request for your operation area. In my practice, prices for Botox operation reaches from 325 Euro up to 350 Euro range. If you want to learn more you can visit my profile.

How are Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport typically priced at most clinics?

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 can happily announce that no effect related to Botox injection is permanent. Sometimes mimic muscles can be affected from masetter injections, but just like any other complications of toxin injection, this is completely reversible. There is nothing you can do at the moment, just wait and see. No worries.

Is it possible for masseter Botox to cause lasting harm to nerves or muscles?

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?

We usually recommend waiting a full two weeks prior to touch up of neuromodulators. This allows for full onset of action. It is recommended you discuss with your treating provider.

Edward Buckingham

Is it typical for Dysport to spread after 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.

There are many reasons why the effect of Dysport may not seem to last long or not show any significant effect. This could be either to less than an optimal number of units, improper injection, or if fewer units were injected than what was actually purchased. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Dmitriy Schwarzburg

Is it possible that Dysport isn't effective for me, or could it be related to a problematic batch of Dysport?

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?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Jason Emer

Why didn't Dysport produce any results for me?

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 she told you makes absolutely no sense. Dysport comes in powder form and cannot be injected unless it is diluted. The same thing applies to both Botox and Xeomin. Depending on how it is diluted, 1 unit of Botox equals 3 units of Dysport. You made a smart move by not going through with it!

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.

hello, no it will not cause the dry eyes. it may dry your forehead though. for some people botox may cause headache and heaviness which paracetamol may help.

Ebru Unal

Could Botox exacerbate dry eye symptoms?

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.

Hi, First of all as you have just mentioned, minor asymmetries is completely normal and also essential for a healthy looking face. I think your facial asymmetry and brow asymmetry is within the normal-natural range. But if you are too obsessed with it, you may consider reversible (non-permanent) type of non-invasive interventions such as Botox injections. No plastic surgeon would or should operate a patient for a minor facial brow asymmetry.

Mehmet Surmeli

Is my facial asymmetry primarily due to my eyebrows, or is it related to facial surgery or Botox treatments?

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

Thank you for your question. Botox injections may not always have the same result due multiple reasons. 1-The dosage and the quality of the Botox 2-Area of injection 3-Skin quality That is why it would be better to wait up to7-10 day to see the final outcome.

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?

Hello, Thanks for your question.If botox is applied to the nasolabial area, the muscles of the laughing group may be affected. In this case, there may be an asymmetry between the bilateral muscles, both in motion (ie while laughing) and at rest (ie, without moving at all). This is normal. For this reason, the botox of this area is used very carefully and only applied when it is absolutely necessary.You need to have a detailed examination and face analyse to get customised treatment plan, be sure that your surgeon is professional board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Facing facial sagging at the age of 18. What are the most suitable options available to me?

We should first find the causes of your facial sagging at this young age but as you're still young it’s possible that your facial skin will regain firmness if you maintain a healthy lifestyle. But if you’re looking for a procedure you might want to think about non-invasive skin tightening procedures like laser treatments and fillers. These options are less intrusive and could be more suitable given your age.

What sets regular Botox apart from Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are both injectables that help reduce wrinkles by relaxing muscles. Dysport, with its smaller molecules, might kick in faster and last longer than Botox. It can spread more easily and has a different dosage measurement. Your preference matters when choosing between the two, so it's best to talk to a specialist to figure out which one suits you best.
