Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I have these fine lines under my eyes just above cheek bone.
It depends on what’s causing the lines.
Jul 13, 2016
Good question! Lines like these can have a number of causes, including sun damage. Based on your photo, I think you may get good results from laser resurfacing or even a strong chemical peel. Some filler or BOTOX treatments may also help, especially in tandem with resurfacing procedures. As always, be sure you’re wearing plenty of sunscreen during the day to keep these lines from getting worse. See a board-certified dermatologist for a more thorough review of your options.
Botox made my eyebrows uneven (can’t raise one eyebrow). Suggestions?
Yes, matching them up is the best approach.
Jul 13, 2016
I agree with the first doctor’s recommendation to add a bit more product to the right side of your face in order to raise it up and even out your results. Hope this helped!
Can Botox or a filler raise the brow 4-5 mm?
It Depends on Your Brow
Jul 13, 2016
It really depends on your own personal anatomy. It’s theoretically possible to achieve a more significant lift without surgery, but this approach may not be the best for every patient. It’s important to have a consultation with a highly experienced injector, preferably a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. You may get better results by using BOTOX Cosmetic in conjunction with a dermal filler, which can contribute to a lifting effect.
Botox appears weaker at the new place I’m going – how and why?
Different Approaches, Different Results
Jul 13, 2016
This is a good question, and one that can have a few possible answers. The most likely explanation is that your new practitioner is simply more conservative with the number of units used. Unless you know the precise number of units in your most recent session versus the number of units your previous injector used, it’s impossible to know whether they’re using a diluted form. Asking your current injector about that it seems perfectly appropriate. Best of luck.
What are the future long term side effects of Botox around the eyes?
No Permanent Side Effects
Jul 13, 2016
BOTOX has been used for cosmetic indications for more than a decade, and in that time there haven’t been any notable long-term effects recorded. BOTOX is especially effective on crinkles around the eyes, and it can be used repeatedly for many years, with no ill effects.
I’ve had botox in my forehead and frown lines but now I look angry. What can I do?
Don’t add more. Wait it out.
Jul 13, 2016
It’s difficult to tell you exactly what’s happened in your situation, but in general, adding more BOTOX to an unfavorable result is not likely to correct your results. Instead, the best thing to do in this case is to wait for the BOTOX to wear off and start anew, perhaps with another injector. In some cases, the product itself can move around slightly once its injected. It’s possible that this is what’s responsible for the condition of your eyebrows. In any case, adding more product to the…
Botox or more permanent options?
BOTOX Is Still Best
Jul 13, 2016
Thanks for your question. BOTOX is still considered the go-to treatment for forehead lines such as yours, and despite its temporary results, it’s still likely to give you the results you want. A surgical forehead lift may be a bit premature at this point, but it’ll take a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to know for sure. In the meantime, I recommend trying BOTOX to see how it works for you. You may decide to forgo the consultation altogether.
