Scared of Botox For Forehead Lines- What Are The Risks? Hi, I am 29 and I have horizontal forehead lines on my forehead that make me look older. I would love to have botox but im terrified of it. what are the chances of breathing probs or swallowing probs after having botox in the forehead?? If this were to happen when would it be apparent? would the risk be for the whole 4 months or so that botox works or for the first few day?? thanks

A: Botox works for forehead lines Botox treatments are extremely common and extremely safe. Horizontal forehead lines respond very well to Botox, especially when your as young as you are. Going to an experienced injector is always a good idea. I would also recommend starting conservatively. One can always add more.

Which Do You Think is Better to Combat the Dreaded Frown Line...botox or Juvederm? I am going to have either or done next week for my frown line between my eyes. I can't stand it! I had a conservative amount of Botox done for this last year and it worked fine, but I still was able to see a faint line still. Do you think that getting Juvederm this time around would be a better option, or should I just ask for more Botox?

A: Botox works but you need to use it regularly

The frown lines will continue to improve if you use botox regularly. Usually you need to get it every four months for the best results. It will weaken the muscle and reduce your frown lines. Juvederm can be used as well. You said you got it last year. I don't know if you got it two months ago or fourteen months ago. But, Botox works really well for frown lines and if you have to chose one or the other, chose Botox.

Is the Orbicularis Oculi Muscle Ever Frozen with Botox Injections? I read the paragraph below on an Oprah.com article, and was wondering if this muscle is commonly or ever frozen by botox injections? "When someone smiles out of genuine delight, a facial muscle called the orbicularis oculi involuntarily contracts, crinkling the skin around the eyes. Most of us are incapable of deliberately moving this muscle, which means that when a person fakes a smile, her orbicularis oculi likely won't budge."

A: Botox used for crows feet lines Yes, the orbicularis oculi muscles are often "frozen" with Botox to treat crows feet lines. That muscles is the one that closes the eyes, so the whole muscle isn't frozen, just the part infer the crows feet. I do believe that the smile of true delight shows much differently than a fake smile. Artfully done Botox shouldn't change that.

	“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 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
	“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 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
	“Artistry is Involved with Botox” Botox is old news but I discovered, having switched to another provider, that placement of the shots is an art and definitely affects my appearance! The first time I had Botox I ended up with the desired, diminished forehead crease but also a brooding look to my face. Despite that, I liked that better than seeing the crease. To my surprise, when I went to a new provider for another... 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
