I went to doc to get my 11s, forehead area, and crows feet relaxed with botox. I assumed this meant no movement. I understand there may be etched in wrinkles but I am still Abel to frown. I have been to derm for followup and they injected more. It's been a week and it's not much better. Should I request they touch up again? Is it standard practice to touch up until treatment has acheived desired look?

Answer: Botox Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. You may require additional botox. It depends on how many units were injected the first time. I recommend that you follow-up with your surgeon and share your concerns. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: How much BOTOX? Hi,Your question does not indicate how many units of BOTOX you have received. It may be that you need more. Our goal is not to freeze the forehead as seen in some celebrities, you should still look expressive but the muscles that cause the 11s should not allow those wrinkles when you frown. Every patient is different. We have patients who need 20 units between the brows and others who need 40 or more. If the creases are there when you do not frown, you may need filler to reduce them. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon for an opinion and treatment. Good luck.
