How Long After Treatment of Botox and Fillers Till Your Face Looks Better?

I'm going on hoildays and wondering if there is a period after your treatment that your face needs to look normal

A: Avoid Aspirin

The main culprit behind bruising is typically Aspiri, Ibuprofin, and other blood thinning meds.  Make sure you are being treated by a Doctor whoc has experience and competency in administering fillers and Botox.  I typically give patients SinECCH (arnica compoud) after treatment which they also continue taking every 6 hrs afterwards for the first day. 

If you have a tendency to bruise avoid doing the procedure right before an event, maybe a week or so before

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: Enzyme

I agree that the vitrase treatment will dissolve the effect of the Juvederm and should not interfere with the Botox.

Average Number of Injections for Botox in Thin Lips?

Is there a way to get Botox injections in my lips without having such oversized lips that it's obvious I've had injections? I have very thin lips and just want a more natural look.

A: Botox

You really want to consider a filler like Juvederm or Restylane  for adding volume to lips-Botox is not a recommended treatment for adding volume to lips, as you described your desire to have that done.  Also, the main aspect of adding volume to the lips that is must be done very naturally and not too much volume as you will have that "blow-fish" look that is unfortunately ubiquitous these days.
