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.

I Am 18 and I Want to Get Botox in my Top Lip, is That too Young? I have a very plump bottom lip and a very noticeable smaller top lip and I would like to get Botox injected in only my top lip, being 18 would you recommend that I wait ?

A: Botox in top lip?

Thank you for your question. Your concern of having "a very noticeable smaller top lip" is a very common problem. This condition is easily corrected by adding a soft tissue filler such as restylane or juvederm. Botox would NOT be indicated for your problem as it will relax your muscles and will not increase the size of the lip.

Does Botox Have to Be Diluted Before Injecting? Does Botox Have to Be Diluted Before Injecting?

A: Dilution of botox

Botox comes to the physician as a dried power. In order for this to be injected as a liquid it needs to be reconstituted with saline. The amount of saline added various from physician to physician. What is important for you as a patient to know is not the volume but the number of units injected into each area.

	“Botox is Not for Me - San Francisco, CA” I had botox to enhance my looks but it did the opposite. I got bags under my eyes 5 days after the botox was injected. I called my doctor and he said he never heard of that before. I went to see him and he told me to take benadryl and claritin. It did nothing except I had the worst anxiety in my life. I am a high strung person but do not suffer from anxiety. Thankfully, the anxiety only lasted... more
	“Botox Review for Crow's Feet - San...” I had went to the dermatologist because I was unhapppy with the dark circles around my eyes, the deep hollows (sagging) below my eyes, and wrinkles around my eyes. On my first visit I met with an assistant (apparently she is a sales person). She recommended that I try the Ulthera Skin tightening and had told me that if I had the full face and neck treatment ($3600.00) - it would improve the... more
	“Botox - Paralyzed Half my Smile -...” I have been getting botox for years from a PS but moved to a new area and went to a new doc. This new doc came highly recommended and I have seen her for 2 years without a glitch. This last time, however she got a little happy with the injections and I wound up losing my smile. Since I had gotten Juvaderm in my frown lines also, I was hoping that it was just the swelling that was causing... more
	“Excellent Doctor! True Artistry -...” When I went in for my initial consult, I asked for dermafillers. Dr. M discussed the pros and cons with me and recommended that I try Botox instead. Not only did this procedure work, but it saved me a lot of money! I plan to go back for a touch up soon. 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
	“I Look Much Better but Totally...” I saw some photos in a women's magazine a couple of years ago that made me want to start botox. The photos were of twin women around 35 years old. One of them had been doing botox for 5 years in her forehead and the other had not. The difference was significant. The botox twin looked natural, normal, good. The other twin looked natural too but she had noticeable forehead more
	“Deeper Wrinkles After Botox Wears off” I am a 41 year old woman and have had botox treatment twice in the last couple of years. It has been about a year since my last treatment. When I went for my first treatment (age 39), I had very minor wrinkles on my forehead, ones that only bothered me.I feel that my wrinkles are worse now than they were before I started. In certain lighting and angle, there are the beginning of mounds... more
	“One Eye is Pulled Too Tight After Botox” I had my first botox treatment by an RN at a very reputable Plastic Surgery office in a major city. I wanted to address forehead wrinkles, a wrinkle between my brows, crowsfeet and hoped to see my eyebrows raised a bit.My right eye is pulled too tight laterally -- the edge of my right eyebrow is further away from t more
	“Botox Between the Eyebrows Was Good” Pros:I now look younger than my real age. It didn't hurt and no bruising.Cons: As soon as it was shot in to me, I got severe dry eyes and it lasted for several days.I got botox cuz I had a deep wrinkle between my eyebrow. The result is good. I did this on August 25, 2009 and hope that it can for up to 4 months. more
	“Botox Administered Badly Can Ruin...” I opted for Botox because it is relatively inexpensive, non-invasive and the results are immediate.Although I like the injector's aesthetics -- I also had Perlane injection and am largely happy with the results -- I feel that she was less than honest in describing both products and their effects. Ok, I made a mistake.If you read this, and you are smarter tha 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 is Fantastic! Love, Love Love...” Love, love, love Botox....it has smoothed out my forehead and crows feet. It just needs to be done on a consistent basis for it to weaken the muscles I think. It worked well for me. Taking care of your skin with other things seems to be important as an adjunct....ie Green Cream (Retinol), Skinceuticals line, Jan Marini etc...and SUNSCREEN! more
	“Great, if You Want to Look Like...” I'm 43 and had 20 units of Botox done on my crows feet a little over a month ago. It was great for the first 10 days. Almost all of my wrinkles around my eyes were gone. After the 10th day, my smile and facial expressions of my smile changed. I look like I've had a stroke. One side of my mouth just doesn't move. I look like a weirdo. My partner says,... more
	“Worth It! Even a Scaredy Cat Like Me...” I recently received Botox to my forehead…. I was of course scared and very hesitant as I am with these things, but notice a tired look in my face. I am only 29 and was not sure I should worry about it but it did bug me so I figured I would just have a consultation. My Doc was great not pressuring at all and very informative. One thing I like is that botox would prevent wrinkles as... more
	“No Results, I Feel I Was Cheated &...” Hi, my name is Kym and I have been getting Botox treatment for about 2 years. I have recently moved to San Jose from southern California. So I search for a new Dr on the internet and came across the {edited - clinic information located at the top of the review for registered users}. So I called for an appointment, When I got there the meeting was brief and my experience most of the Dr. spent a... 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
	“I'd Do It Again” I was generally pleased with Botox in my crow's feet area. It made more of a difference than the IPL and Thermage treatments I had around my eye area. In the future, I'll definately get it again, and in other areas if needed. One issue is that when the Botox is in full force, I can't squint when the sun gets in my eyes. I have to carry my sunglasses around all the time. But it's only a... 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
