What are The Benefits to Using Botox at a Younger Age?

Are there studies that show Botox will prevent deep wrinkles if patients start using it sooner?

A: Botox for the younger patient, man or women

Basically, the rationale for starting Botox early is the prevent the permanent development of deep, inset wrinkles that will not go away if Botox is started after the fact.  Statistically, the average woman begins to show signs of facial aging around the age of 25.  The first signs of aging in women are fine lines around the eyes (crow's feet) and around the mouth.  The "elevens" in the glabella between the eyebrows is common too. This is because women's facial skin is thinner than men. Men have thicker skin and an increased blood supply to the skin of the face which is necessary to support the growth of thick facial hair.  So, men age later starting around age 30-32. When men age, the wrinkles tend to be larger and thicker furrows.  the strategic use of Botox can be beneficial for both men and women.  I hope this helps.

A: Botox and Breast Surgery

You can have facial botox before, during or after your breast surgery. It is safe to have them done at the same time if you wish.

Plump Cheeks After Botox

I had Botox in the crow's feet 5 weeks ago, and now my cheeks look too plump. When I smile, it makes deep wrinkles, where the cheek swells, and the under eyes meet. I look worse (with deeper wrinkles) than I was before. My face looks good when I make no expressions, but my cheeks are plump when I smile, and the deep creases or wrinkles are terrible. Will this eventually go down? I have a wedding in 2 months, and I'm worried it won't look better by then. Will Botox in the under eye area help to even out the plumpness? Thanks so much.

A: It will get "back to normal"

The good news is that the Botox will wear off gradually in around 3 months so you will return to your pre-injection appearance. It is possible that careful planning with additional Botox injections could improve your current situation (it is hard to say from your description and without seeing you), but I would be sure to go to a physician who is expert in the facial anatomy, muscle function, and injection technique.
