Was I Overcharged For 70 Units of Botox?

The question is ‘What did you get for the $300-$375?’ versus the 70 units you had injected for $980 (which is very normal for a physician injector)?  Perhaps you were treated in just one area or not sufficiently in the previous clinic.   If you were injected in the glabella  (lines between eyebrows), the crow-s feet and the horizontal lines on the forehead, then the dosage used is within the normal range.  So, the answer would be ‘No, you were not overcharged for the number of units’.  Whether your dosage was appropriate for you or excessive is another question. Ask for a second opinion if you are unsure.

To answer the question whether you were overcharged or not depends on what is really at the issue.  The fee of dollars/unit or that you were charged for 70 units?  As most doctors here agree, you were charged a high fee for the botox but not unheard of.  To me the real question is whether or not you really needed 70 units.  Best way for you to find out is to see how many units you got from your previous injector and if that worked for you in the past it should work for you again.

Your concerns are understandable. However, you were not over charged for your Botox. Botox can run anywhere from $10.00 to $15.00 per unit, depending on which city you live in. it is best to keep your Botox up every 3-4 months as you will get the best results & value from your injections.
