Does Botox Interfere with Juvederm Dissolving?

I had Botox injections to my crows feet, bunny lines and "11's" and in the same appointment had Juvederm Ultra to fill in tear troughs. Too much filler was injected and also injected in the wrong plane and I now have bags under both eyes. My doctor wants to use vitrase to dissolve filler, however I've been reading some cases where Botox may interfere with lymphatic drainage due to the lack of muscle contraction, resulting in a worse situation. What is your advice?

A: Botox and Juvederm

Botox and Juvederm can be used together without concern. In fact, in some cases it is preferable to use Botox to relax the muscle to prolong the volume effect from Juvederm. If Vitrase, an enzyme to dissolve Juvederm or Retylane for that matter, is needed to get rid of unwanted filler, its use will not affect the Botox effect.

I Just Received my First Botox Injections Yesterday and It's Worse, Not Better. Normal?

I just received my first Botox injections yesterday. They are from a very reputable plastic surgeon, so he knows what he's doing - but it seems that there is almost an EXTRA new wrinkle above my brow. It's as if the skin is weighing down on it and causing a new wrinkle. Not only that (and I know it can take up to a week to see full results), but I don't see even the most MINOR improvement whatsoever in my glabellar lines. I paid almost $600 for this, so I'm pretty upset. Any recommendations?

A: Botox Results The results from a Botox Cosmetic treatment takes a minimum of 3-4 days to start and as long as 2 weeks for full effect. Usually, results are seen about 1 week after treatment. Dysport may work faster.

Can Botox Makes calf Smaller?

I have a big calf [muscle] I would like them to be smaller. I'm a female.

A: Botox in the Calf Muscle Continued use of Botox may result in muscle atrophy and therefore decrease the size of tue muscle. That said I do not recommend using this for reducing the size of one's calves. It may result in significant weakness of the calf muscle and therefore affect walking.
