Los Angeles Botox Doctors and Reviews

“Amazing Botox Results for my...”

I was unhappy with my forehead wrinkles and was hesitant at first about doing it. Best decision. I had no big expectation but I was more than pleased with outcome. They far exceeded my expectations. My lines are gone. I'm not frozen and don't have the surprised look. I look the same minus wrinkles. Very natural results. I'm sold and will return in 3 months for touch up. The PA performed... more

“Better with BOTOX - Los Angeles, CA”

After years of overly animated expression my forehead looked as though you could plant crops. Not that I looked bad mind you, but BOTOX was like adding a soft filter to the camera lens. With a few injections my face looked revitalized and refreshed without the shiny overdone look that you see in many exaggerated comedy sketches. I love it!!! more

“Experienced Every Side Effect -...”

A dermatologist performed my Botox injections for cosmetic purposes. I'm not sure if it was malpractice or a bad product; however I have experienced EVERY side effect (except death) possible and continue to experience side effects. I have reported this to Allergan, the FDA, numerous of specialist, an attorney, etc. with no avail. more

“Expect to Pay Forever - Beverly...”

Forehead botox - to erase crease & wrinkles above/between brows. It certainly removed the creases (for the most part) but within 3-4 months the benefit was gone. Estimated $450-500 each time for the botox. Additionally, be prepared to spend more $ to have your eyebrows 'lifted' with another filler, or you run the risk of your brows drooping from the botox injection. So, more like... more

“Botox in Masseter Muscle - Los...”

This is my first foray into cosmetic procedures and the results are subtle but I'm happy with it - subtly slimmer jawline and when I bite down, the hard muscle that formed is no longer there. more

“Works for Only 1-2 Months - Los...”

$20 per unit of botox. The doctor usually tries to sell me to buy more by telling that I need it in a lot more areas on my face than what I thought. So my botox visit totals to $300 everytime. The results don't last longer 2 months. The muscles are paralyzed so that area of my face looks a little "wide" or "saggy" but has changed the way my face looks. I look weird with... more

“Botox - Anaheim Hills, CA”

I had Botox 14 days ago bruised on my right lower eye within seconds dr hit a blood vessal which is not unexpected but I still have bruise going on my 15th day I am concerned that this will need lazer treatment to go away am I being to worried? more

“Botox is DANGEROUS! - Seal Beach, CA”

My experience with Botox was horrible and I am still suffering from side effects. This drug IS NOT SAFE. I was talked into a free 20 cc injection into my forehead as a promotion at a spa for Allergan products. The results to my frown lines on my forehead were impressive and took about 7 to 10 days to really kick in. What happened after that, however, was horrible, and I am still suffering from... more

“Botox Me Baby... - Beverly Hills, CA”

The only "con" I could foresee regarding this procedure is the possible risk of people suspecting you had work done because the results are in fact immediate. No one noticed that I had had anything done...because I had choppy bangs at the time so if you want to disguise your work for a couple of days I would recommend getting some bangs. I have relatively wrinkle-free skin but... more

“Love it - Venice, CA”

Had one area treated at a clinic in santa monica, it was treated to what they called 'optimal correction', which meant that I paid a flat rate for the initial injection between my brows, got a free follow up checkup, and they added a little bit more for free! more

“Side Effects of Botox - Los Angeles, CA”

I second another reviewer - I also had "unusual" side effects after having Botox injections for "crow feet". Overall, I had Botox done 6+ times. Every time after injections, I had a headache (it felt like somebody squeezing my head, and I am not a headache person) and slightly blurry vision. The last several times, besides the regular for me side effects, I had eye... more

“Botox is Great in Moderation - Los...”

I have tried botox on various areas of my face and neck and have a clear idea of what I will/won't do again. I will continue to botox my stringy neck for the rest of my days. I can't see any downside to erasing those dead-giveaway sinewy strings. It hurts a little but not enough to stop me from doing it. I love a light touch around my eyes. Three tiny, light pin-pricks per... more

“Botox Never Again - Los Angeles, CA”

This was my 4th time having Botox done for my crows feet, yet with a new Doctor. I read yelp reviews & she had 5 stars & was highly recommended for "natural" results. Unfortunately, turned out NOT to be the case for me. In late March, I turned 38. I felt the most beautiful, vibrant & healthy that I've ever felt in my life. In search of some sense of absolute... more

“Botox Insomnia Thread/Dysport - Los...”

I was trying to respond to my thread, but oh well..so yes Botox gave me hideous insomnia for 6 weeks, not at first, but after 3 times, b4 that I was fine, nada. Thank you to the doctors who hear me, and no thank you to the doctors who question if it was the botox, cuz peeps with horrific side-effects know better, and it's super condescending and frustrating to her that, especially since... more

“Botox - Nice Result, Look Rested Yet...”

I was always wary of trying Botox for fear of looking "frozen" or artificial, however my injector knows EXACTLY what she is doing. As am man the last thing I want to look like is "done", however my injector did an AMAZING job on my brow and frown lines, I expained to her what it was that was bothering me and she gave me the EXACT result I wanted. I dont have very many... more

“Repeatedly VERY Happy with the...”

I have had botox injections regularly, with the same doctor, for the past 2 years. I get small doses in my brow and forehead since I am still a young 36 year old. The results are always favorable and I sometimes wonder why I didn't start doing it earlier. I do get mild, annoying headaches after each treatment, but they go away within 3-4 hrs and never require medication. The results... more

“Botox Gave Me Cervical Dystonia -...”

I have tried Botox 5 times over the last 2 and a half years, for mild frown lines usually getting between 20 and 30 cc's total injected in forehead and in between frown lines. I always got mild throat irritation that would start 10-14 days after the injections accompanied by a headache and this would last 7-14 days, then go away. Last february I had noticed a couple weeks after the... more

“Botox Made Me Have Bags and More -...”

I waited a month to see {chief of dermatology, awards galore]I always had great experience with botox until now. He injected botox under my lower lids to "open my eye up" I never had bags or dark circles ever before. Two days later i had bags and deep creases and dark circles under my eyes, also im uncomfortable because my under lid is paralyzed and it feels very odd, I swear even my... more

“Distorted my face - Beverly Hills, CA”

I have jawline reduction couple of months ago. It took so much of my jawline muscles out that my shape of face has this strange distorted look and I am scared to look into any reflection. My surgeon injected so much units that I have to look like a freak for so long and pray that it would go away faster. With the amount of money you spend, got me into depression it's not worth it.!!!!! more

“Smile Deformed After Botox”

9 days ago I had botox in my crows feet, my forehead, and my jaw muscles (to treat TMJ).When I woke up this morning, I couldn't smile. My mouth widens and opens but it doesn't go up at the corners at all and my cheeks don't move; my mouth just sort of stretches across my face. I look like I am grimacing or like I have had a stroke of some sort.Normally I love botox. However, in that my smile... more

“I Have Pea Size Lump in the Corner...”

Usually just do the forehead. Dr. said lets do the crows feet and now I have pea size lump in the corner of my eye.Had Botox injection around crows feet and forehead last week. My eye lids are drooping and have developed a pea size lump in the corner of my eye. Is this lump going to go away, is this normal? more

“Botox Around Eyes - Worried About...”

I went in to get botox around my eyes because people kept commenting about how old I looked and that it was very unbecoming. I finally went in and had it done 2 weeks ago and am pleased with the results. But I just found out that I am 4 weeks pregnant. Now I am very worried and don't know if this is going to now affect the baby. Please advise.I had botox 2 weeks ago and just found out I am... more

“Botox for Crow's Feet - I'm Addicted...”

Botox for crows feet looks incredible and absolutely will do it again. I know now that I need to cut back on my supplements(St John's Wort, Vitamin E, Evening Primrose and Fish Oil) because I bruised and it took three weeks to heal.I recently had botox for crows feet and addicted to the result. It has been two months and it looks incredible. I wear cvontact lenses and during aller more

“Botox Works Faster Than Any...”

Pros - Works faster and better than any anti-wrinkle cream and makes me look 10 years younger.Cons - It needs to be redone every 5 months.Which is a better topical application for wrinkles - tretinoin or Epidermal Growth Factor? Could I use both together? more

“Botox in Jaw (For TMJ) Made My Face...”

About 5 years ago I began getting botox in my jaw (masseter) muscle to help with tmj. It really works to ease that pain and I would recommend it for anyone who has tmj. Also, it does shrink the muscle and makes my face look thinner.My doctor does this all time, and I've never had any problems with my injections. In fact, now I get them in my temple too to help with headaches - and this... more

“Botox Injections Under the Eyes and...”

I received botox injections around my eyes and one under each lower lid to stop wrinkling from the outer injections. It seemed fine but after a few days I have developed droopy bags and swelling under my eyes and I look like I haven't slept in days - which people keep commenting. I have never had circles or bags ever. I really look horrible. ALSO, my eyes are so tired all the time -... more

“Almost 50 - Feeling Good Even when...”

Almost fifty and in great shape expect that my forehead and under my eyes was full of lines. The botox smoothed everything out and all my friends thought I had taken a vacation. No one knew that I had the botox, they all thought I looked great! more

“Bad Botox - 3 Units on Sides and 2...”

I had botox done 3units on the sides on 2 underneath...i look older now, my skin is puffy uder my eyes and saggy. i look older. more

“Botox for Preventative Anti-aging...”

I really liked the botox treatment. Almost pain free and no down time. I'm 32 and wanted to use it for preventative anti-aging.I received the botox treatment for the first time a little over 12 hours ago. I got home and gave myself a mini facial, forgetting that I wasn't supposed to rub or press on the areas injected. I pressed by my nose and now I have a swollen area there on the right... more

“Botox in Beverly Hills”

It was the best Botox I ever had, no pain. Felt like the procedure was very well explained. Previous times in other offices I had pain, bruising and no instructions. Here was great- No bruising and such great care. Staff super sweet. more

“Found the Right Botox Doctor for...”

Based on my own experience and the reviews on this board it is obvious that the outcome of a botox procedure is HIGHLY dependent on a good injector.My first two procedures were done with the doctor that I am recommending. I did crows feet, brow and frown area. He took about a half hour. He studied my face had me smile, frown, make all types of expressions and dotted my face wi more

“I Was Skeptical of Botox”

I didn't think Botox was going to work for me, I don't know why I was just skeptical. I decided to try it, though, after a friend asked me to come with her. My skin improved drastically. I was also surprised that the way this doctor does it, it doesn't hurt at all. The botox is really amazing, and I will definitely be going back when it wears off. more

“Botox Caused Pronounced Labial Folds”

I wanted to treat crows feet with botox. I went to a board certified plastic surgeon. The injections caused pronounced labial folds. I may be a hard case, as my cheeks are quite high, and I already had some labial folds prior to the injections. They are much more pronounced now.I have heard of droopy eyelids and other botox issues. My problem is different. I received botox for crows feet... more

“BOTOX IS EVIL - Beverly Hills, CA”

Dont believe your doctor when they say "nothing can go wrong." or "it's rare" i went to a doctor (high profile in beverly hills---writes articles for journals etc etc) he did juvaderm first--very little. i liked it so trusted him. i asked about the horizontal lines on my forehead--they weren't bad so iasked it doing them would efect my eyes or make my frown... more

“Yes! But Moderation is Key!”

I don't know why everyone doesn't do it.. it is the best thing ever! The key is MODERATION. Go conservative. You can always do a little more. Plenty of my friends come back (from their doc's) looking like "the joker." I have my doc do just a little... enough to give me lift, to look fresh, but not "different." Again - moderation. I could not be happier. I've... more

“Love It!”

I went to this wonderful Spa in La Crescenta, Ca to have a microdermabrasion and asked about Botox. After talking with a nurse I decided to give it a try. I'm 51 and have a small line between my eye browns. She gave me three injections in different places around the linen and it hurt a bit. I experienced some tenderness around the area and had a headache on and off for couple of days. Now... more

“Hate Botox! - Severe Headaches After...”

I have had Botox done several times by different doctors,each promising a different result. I get a severe headache for weeks after Botox injections! None of the docs ever seem to care. Allergan told me a percentage of people do get a headache for a couple of weeks and you just have to wait it out. Never again for me! Botox never works for me. The 2 week migraine ma more

“Loved the Result, Experience Was Not...”

I have had (mostly) good results with botox. I started doing it 5 years ago as a "pre-emptive strike" against wrinkles. I do two areas twice a year, I have had one case of "bat brow" and one case of "lazy eye" but out of 20-30 different areas I can't complain. This is probably one procedure I will stay with. Katie more

“LOVE Botox!!!”

I absolutely love botox. I only have to get it every 9-10 months or so. He has fabulous bedside manner and is a great shooter, with perfect results every time. pain is minimal and the only precaution really is to not put any makeup or use any type of lotions for up to a day after. It takes me around 7 days to see the results but boy oh boy is it worth it!! more

“Bold and Beautiful After Botox”

Botox is really worth all its hype. I recently got botox injections and i am amazed at the results really. They say botox is youth in an inection and they are not exaggerating.I had alot of wrinkles on my forehead and around my eyes and after watching many celebrities getting botox done, i gave it a try too. Blame it on watching E! or other shows on tv, i felt that there must be something true... more

“My Hollywood Face”

Where I live, everyone is beautiful! It’s LA, the land of quick cures where no one ages. You’d think this just applies to celebrities but it doesn’t. I work for a consulting agency and our image is everything too. I’m always accused of looking angry and tired even when I’m not and I felt like this was having a negative impact on my work. I need to look open and... more

“I Switched to Restylane”

I already wrote up my restylane experience (good!), but prior to restylane I had many years of good Botox experiences. As others have said, it works great on furrows and wrinkle lines. I'm aware of the potential for droopy face after a Botox injection, but I don't know anyone who has had this problem. I bet it's really rare. I'm going to rate Botox, not worth it simply because I found... more
