Healing from your fractured Jaw is unlikely to affect your Botox Treatment in any meaningful way. It is possible swelling, bruising, etc could affect treatment with Fillers. Treatment with Botox is currently safe, go ahead and get treatment!I recommend delaying treatment on the fillers, or consulting with a medical doctor before treatment with fillers.

First, you want to start by honing in on your priorities and treatment areas. Are you on a tight budget?Is Botox for Cosmetic Facial Treatment, TMJ, Sweating, Etc I recommend choosing a professional Injector (MD or DMD) I would also check their social media or website for Before and After Examples. During the consultation, the injector should be mapping out the injections sites and customizing the plan for your needs and your body. They should be using quality Products like Botox Cosmetic, Xeomin, Dysport, or other FDA Approved Tox.

I am sorry you ended up with a color/ shade that is not to ideal for you. I know you paid good money, and expect a good result. The Dentist should be willing to work with you in this issue. Veneers need to be remade to change the color. How long ago were these made?Veneers usually stain around the margins and Not on the facial surface, so I agree the yellow color is unlikely from staining. The only Answer is to have them Remade. I highly recommend asking for A1/B1 Shade veneers, or even first (darkest) bleach shade. anything Lighter will look un-naturally white (sometimes called Hollywood Smile). If you want Bleach white, then go for it. This Dentist chose a natural shade for you, likely A2.You could also be in a yellowish light, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. When you get them Remade, be sure to have the current shade checked under normal natural light.I recommend asking to see the shade with them and picking while looking in a small handheld mirror. When it is time for Delivery, I recommend asking to verify the shade AGAIN under normal light with a handheld mirror before they are cemented. I hope this info helps!

Iatrogenic Botox is rare, but it can happen. The complication rate for Botox is around 1/10 times, but this statistic includes bruising and temporary headaches. Significant complications are rare. Choose an experienced Doctor/Dentist Injector, and you are unlikely to have a complication. Most Iatrogenic issues are linked to unlicensed providers, counterfeit products, and mislabeled products. Again, if you choose an experiences Doctor/Dentist Injector this is unlikely to happen. Filler should only be considered if you have wrinkles at rest (when you are relaxed without expressions). It would be aggressive, and likely unnecessary to get filler if you do not have wrinkles at rest. This is a high risk area, so I recommend an experienced medical physician to place these injections or a dentist that has a lot of before and after evidence of brow fillers. A combination of Botox and Filler is recommended for the best results if you have wrinkles at rest. I hope this helps!

There is no clinical evidence that suggests stimulants such as nicotine will accelerate degradation of Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox) A stimulant would have to increase the regeneration rate of the nerve terminal in the neuromuscular junction. This is NOT increased by stimulants.In fact, Nicotine may actually hinder the nerve regeneration, which would make COULD make it last slightly longer. For the record, I am not claiming will increase botox duration. this is NOT clinically proven. I hope this helps!

Masseter Muscle injections will provide a slim cheek profile. However, injecting this muscle also affects your jawline... It will slim this too. Masseters Botox is more likely to cause a 'V-shaped” look in your case. Yes, it will slim your cheeks, but it will also affect your jawline. The overall effect will cause a V-shaped look to your face. Use with Caution and check esthetic progress with multiple before and after photos over the first 3 months. I think trying out Masseter Botox one time will be fine, the muscle can be worked out to regain shape if needed after 3 months. But careful monitoring is a good idea. If you see it developing "V" shaped look I advise discontinuing Botox.

Your Veneers are doing great! 15 years is a long time, and unfortunately the color of your teeth can definitely change over that long of a lifespan. It is normal to have them replaced to update the esthetics even if they have not failed as a restoration. Unfortunately, insurance is unlikely to cover this. Since have two opinions that agree the bite is good, i doubt you will have any issues with them. If you do have any issues with the veneers de-bonding, or if you are overly concerned about them, full coverage cosmetic crowns are also a great alternative option.

I agree that these teeth are too long. Like you said, since you do not have a gummy smile it is not as obvious, however it is definitely noticeable. I highly recommend Porcelain Gums on the Final Crowns. This will provide a much better Esthetic Result. I hope this helps your decision making!

Hey, Korea is a great place to get your work done. Korea has great cosmetic products and many cosmetic doctors. Masseter Botox and Jawline Botox Will help slim your face down, but it may take a couple rounds before the effects are noticeable. For this to slim your face down, the Botox will need to relax the muscles AND cause muscle atrophy. Your face should be noticeably slim within 3 months, and will definitely be noticeable after your second round into 6 months.

The mask itself should be safe to use. LED light produce minimal heat, and is unlikely to damage the Botox. Can you tell me what kind of mask you are using? The main concern with the mask is that you do not want it pressing or moving on the face.You don’t want to "press" the Botox into the wrong muscles! If it does not touch your face, then it should be safe. I still advise waiting 24hours, so there is no risk. Hope this helps!
