Hi Sara.
Please don’t be embarrassed to go back to your Injector. I always ask my patients to contact me if they ever have questions or concerns.
Without knowing what dosage you were given each time it is hard to give an accurate answer. It may be that your Injector was being conservative the first time. Your touch up was only 5 days ago so I would give it the full two weeks to do it’s job. I am sure it will be better by then. If not absolutely contact your Injector again to go in so they can assess what would be the next next step.
Take care,
Nyeree Hazelton, RN BSN. Cosmetic Nurse Injector.
Thank you for your question! Many people aren’t sure what Botox can and cannot do. In this case Botox would not be the right choice as it works to relax muscles. To reduce small pockets of fat, like the double chin, you will want Kybella. Kybella works to destroy fat cells permanently. I have had great success with Kybella in the right patients. You will want to find an Injector experienced with Kybella injections so they can let you know what your best options are.
Hello! You ask a valid question as many people are not sure about this. None of the neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin) or fillers are recommended during preganancy, including under 2 months. No studies have been performed on pregnant women so we do not know what the effects may be or how they may harm the fetus. This also applies to breastfeeding women. I tell my patients to wait until after they are done breastfeeding and I will be happy to inject them at that time.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Take care.
