How Much for an Injection in Arm? I've Heard a Shot In the Arm Can Help a Quad's Hand Move? Understand that botox shot into the arm made a quad's hand moveable enough to use it. How much for an injection in my quad son's elbow to help him move his hand? And, is this safe?

A: botox for spastic paralysis

Thanks for your question -

This is a complex question that you should consult a neurologist to get a qualified answer. Botox can be used to treat spastic paralysis by _increasing_ paralysis of overactive muscles.

Botox will not work for flacid paralysis or work to reverse paralysis.

In addition, if botox is appropriate, it would likely be covered by insurance.

Hope this helps.

Is 10 Units of Botox Per Side Too Much for Crows Feet? I am in my early thirties and I do not get regular botox. I don't have any lines around my eyes at all unless I smile. The first time I got botox was 2 years ago and the doctor only gave me 5 units per side and it looked fine. When I went in 2 weeks ago, he gave me 10 units per side. Is that too much for someone my age? It's only been 2 years, and honestly I don't think I have aged that much.

A: How much botox for crows feet.

Thank you for your question. I do not think that i would have given you botox if you "do not have any lines around my eyes at all unless I smile". Lines that appear around the eyes when smiling are very natural, normal and are not necessary a bad thing.

The amount of botox given to you for the crows feet area is within the normal dose range for this area. The amount of botox given will vary from person to person. The reason for this is that the amount of muscle that is present is different from person to person- more muscle requires more botox.

24 Hours After Botox, my Left Eye is Drooping is This Normal I had botox injected between my eye brows and just above my eyebrows just 24 hours ago, I have noticed that my left eye above my lid has some drooping going on, so what could be the problem ?

A: Droopy eyelids after Botox, Dysport, Xeomin injection

Unfortunately this undesired complication of droopy eyelids can happen even in the hands of the most experienced physician injector. This can be minimized by injecting at least 1cm above medial eyebrows and avoiding manipulation of injected sites within day of Botox, Dysport, Xeomin injection. Your experienced aesthetic physician may recommend eyedrops such as OTC Visine eyedrops 3x/day to the affected area. Thankfully, this complication of droopy eyelids after Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin injection is temporary and should self-resolve in few weeks.

$536 average price for Botox in Bay Area
89% of Bay Area reviewers said Botox was worth it

	“First Botox Experience Was a...” I had "11" lines between my eyebrows due to perpetual frowning and wanted to prevent deeper wrinkles from developing. Pros: 1. Dr. Mabrie is Board Certified and only works on faces. 2. I got a clear estimate of cost prior to my treatment. 3. Was able to get consultation and treatment done at first visit saving time and waiving consultation fee. 4. Charges by the area not by the... more
	“Good Results but Short Lived... -...” I've had Botox treatments many times for my forehead lines (the # 11 between my brows and crows feet). Because I have such strong muscles in those areas, I require significantly more units than the average person, hence the higher cost.) It takes me 10 to 14 days to see real results and they are fabulous. Unfortunately, they only last about 8 to 10 weeks for me. I was considering... more

	“Botox for TMJ” I use it to inject into masseter muscle in jaw to reduce TMJ. It works great. I have the injection every 8 months or so, and it really beats having to wear a mouth-guard every night (yuk). Also makes my jaw look a bit less "square" since it relieves the muscle build-up in my jaw muscles. Also makes chewing food easier and more pleasant (less painful). What can I say, for me - it just... more
	“Will Not Do Again (31 Y/o, Crow's Feet)” Iam a 31yr old female with the beginnings of crows feet. I decided, after a lot of thought, to give botox a shot.I got a very small amount - supposedly the smallest my Dr. administers - to my crows feet. Not worth it.It's now been 3 days and I am experiencing some side effects. The insomnia and anxiety is the worst. I literally have not slept more than 1/2 an hour in the more
	“Botox Well Worth It for Me, Needs to...” At 40 I decided, even thought I'm pretty fit & young looking, the horizontal lines starting on my forehead were getting just too ugly and they made me feel old. A friend recommended trying Botox, and that they had had it. I was surprised, because I hadn't noticed they used it - I'd just noticed they looked good. I would definitely make sure to go to a good provider. Find one... more
	“Botox Worked Great for Me - Walnut...” I am 41, and got two botox treaments (two different injection sites per treatment) this year, for $300 per tube, two tubes per treatment. My plastic surgeon is well known and performed the injections- one over each eyebrow and one near the outside of each eye. The results were stunning, but botox does definitely make you feel a little weird. I had no bruising or swelling... more
	“Love It” Works great. Had 2 dermabrasions years ago which tightened the lines but facial expressions brought them back. Botox is excellent. I went from always looking stressed to having people say how relaxed I look. I do get black and blue marks that last 4-6 days. I hear this is rare. I have started to limit any advil type product a week prior to the... more
	“Smooth Forehead After Botox.” I am a 52 years old woman of Indian origin and i live in LA. I recently got Botox injections after much consiideration and reccomendation of my friends. I had astonishingly hard frown lines all over my forehead and temples. Botox made them disappear within just a day and i was very very happy. The injectons were very mild and relatively painless after the ice that was rubbed on my... more
