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: With some exceptions: Botox for upper face, fillers for lower face

Botox is a neuromodulator/neurotoxin that is typically used to efface lines that are created by muscle contraction. Therefore, it is effective for the lines between the eyebrows, crow's feet, forehead lines. As for the lips, restylane and other hyaluronics are suitable for "plumping" of the lower lip. It is also great for other areas that need more volume, such as the smile lines and tear trough areas. At your age, you are unlikely to have those last two problems.

In any case, go to an experienced board-certified injector for your injectable needs. Good luck!

Why Didn't my Doctor Give Me Enough Botox?

First time I had treatment, he gave me fillers and botox, and I was very,very impressed with the results. Then I came back for more botox, as I thought I needed a touch-up after 3 months. However, he didn't seem to give me much of it, saying I still had enough in some areas. I was not very impressed with the results at all, as I did not want my botox to run out completely. He did not charge me for it, but why is he doing that? I'm 51, well preserved.

A: Botox dosing/touch ups

The exact reason for the lower dosage can only be answered by your physician.  But when I change up the dosage it usually is because there is not enough movement of the intended muscle group to visualize the ends of the muscles.  This is especially important in the glabellar where lid or brow ptosis may occur if the toxin is injected to far lateral.  I will give my clients a choice, smaller dosage today or wait a few more weeks/months until there is appropriate muscle activity.

Can I Use Botox In The Same Area As Previous Fat Transfer?

I Recently Had Fat Grafted Under my Eyes. Can I Still Use Botox in the Future in That Area?

A: Botox after fat grafting

Botox can be safely injected in an area of previous fat grafting without compromising your result.
