It is typical to have some swelling and tenderness in this area under the eyes which is a sensitive region and tends to bruise more easily. These symptoms can persist for a couple of weeks. You can apply ice and take Arnica (available at Walgreens, Vitamin Shoppe, GNC...) to help. Hope you are feeling and looking better soon!

In general 1-2 syringes per cheek to start. It all depends on the patient. As we age we have bone loss, our fat pads loose fullness, and we can have some generalized sagging skin. This can give us the fullness in the lower face and prominent nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth), along with all of this we can have a less prominent jaw line and jowels. The individuals shape of face, volume in the cheeks, and age all are part of the assessment for what will work best and how much is needed. Someone who is quite thin may need smaller amounts. When adding to the cheek you can really soften the nasolabial folds. You can always add additional filler at a follow up appointment. Some people may require 1/2 syringe on each side, others may require 4 syringes. Remember 4 syringes is a little less then a teaspoon!

Hello. I know you are probably anxious to get your botox done. However, it is best to wait until the eye infection clears up. Putting a needle in the skin around the eyes could make matters worse. Possibly spreading the infection or prolonging the healing process. It is not worth the risk. Good luck with your eye.

20 units is a great dose to start with. I think you need more time to evaluate. Remember botox takes 3-14 days for the full effect. If you are unhappy give your injector a chance and go back in after 2 weeks. You may need a touch up. I’m sure your injector wants you to be happy and be a returning customer. I chart how much I am giving in specific locations, then we can evaluate and give more or less if needed the next time. Good luck.
