If I Am Getting Botox for Hyperhidrosis, Would the Doctor Be Reusing a Bottle That Someone else Used? Most Likely Yes or No?

Hyperhidrosis requires use of the entire 100 unit vial. If you have concerns, you could easily ask your doctor next time you are in.

Is It Customary to Pay for the Initial Consultation (Breast Augmentation)?

Hi! Everyone says you should check out 3 or 4 plastic surgeons before deciding on someone to perform the surgery on you. But is it customary to pay for an initial consultation? Some of the surgeons charge quite some money for their consultations and since I am only going to chose one to perform surgery on me .. well, it adds up! Thank you in advance for all your anwers!

The cost of the consultation is just to limit cancellations and those who aren't serious. Ask the surgeons you are considering if they will deduct your consultation fee if you elect to have them do your surgery.

Can Anybody Answer What Exactly Are the Chemical Ingredients of Botox and Fillers?

Botox(R) is a purified form of botulinum toxin. This applies to Dysport and Xeomin as well. Fillers vary depending on the type of filler. Restylane and Juvaderm, for example, are forms of hyaluronic acid - a substance found in your joints naturally. Its made in the lab for purposes of "fillers". Other fillers are made of collagen (sometimes human and sometimes from cows), lactic acid and other naturally occurring materials. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Good luck
