i had botox at Christmas,and within 2/3 weeks it had all but dissapeared,and i reckon that many doctors/therapist dilute the botox ?

Hi secrets,
Welcome to the Botox community. It has been rumored throughout the community that doctors have watered down product, which is why a number of community members find it so important to go to a board certified plastic surgeon. Did you go back and ask your doctor what happened? Are you going to try Botox again somewhere else? Please keep us updated.
Thanks so much for the review,
-Britt
Then they got a new doctor in called Caroline, who I booked in with by chance. I told her that the botox seemed to be lasting less and less time (its actually suppose to last longer and longer over time as the muscles wither from lack of use)
She looked at my notes and gave out a Mmmmm....
then said yes men dont really understand.... and gave me my botox- lasted 5 months!!!!! first time ever had done that. I ask for her everytime now-and only her, Ionly need to go in twice a year now. She's great.
I saw you were thinking of going to Dr Stanek for a face lift- can you let me know how you get on-I'm considering it one day.
Yes an72,i had considered Stanek but from looking at some of his results i am not convinced as i feel he errs to much on the side of caution and i dont want to look 'rested',i would want to look 'done'...lol.
Amounts to the same thing I suppose.
If your willing to give it another go tho-ask for Caroline at surgical aesthetics. Good luck
Botox does need to be mixed (diluted). Here are some Q&A's that give some interesting info on the topic:
Does a Vial of Botox Come Pre-mixed?
What is the Most Common Amount of Saline Mixture to Powder Constitution of Botox?
Found this, these lady's definitely look "done"which is what you said your looking for.
they look amazing-more than rested.
Can't get much up on him tho.
I might go see him for some fillers and check him out that way.
thought you might be interested.
