Yikes-I am glad you are having them done but I had the two top implants with the sinus lift and bone graft all done at the same time. 4700$ The teeth themselves are another 3 grand. I is important that you have them done as the longer you wait the more your bite and shape of your face changes. Good luck with the rest.
Gosh I hope you feel better soon-sounds terrible.
Patients over the age of 65 may not experience such dramatic results.

That being said 20 units to raise the brow is a large dose. I am 46 and my doc uses a total of 4 units-two at each tail of the eyebrow.
No, besides the advil I did not take pain meds. I do not like the way they make me feel. As I said I was given a light sedative to calm my nerves. I did not use that for the lower two that I got because I needed to drive myself home after that visit.
Everyone has different levels of pain they can tolerate. I have sat through hours and hours worth for tattoos-this is just creepy because its in your mouth.
All and all it was not that bad except for the shots to the palate-that hurt.

Botox is always diluted. However, they can dilute it more, the product could be old or injected wrong or not enough for the area. Also, some people it does not last as long on. The first reasons I mentioned are most likely the cause.
