I am a male and 11 days ago I got Botox done for frown lines. There is still absolutely no change in the appearance in the frown line area, and I can still fully contract the muscles. The doctor who did the procedure said that in his experience 15 units is enough for frown line area for 95% of people. Should I wait more or contact the doctor already? Will I have to pay for additional Botox units, if he offers that I get them? Will the result of it will be postponed for another couple of weeks?

Often times patients tell me that they had Botox done in other offices but complain that it did not last. Often the reason is that the Botox was diluted too much to use less or Botox was not used but Xeomin or another substitute. For the best results please find a board certified dermatologist...
Botox is great for the crow's feet and an ice roller is not necessary afterwards. I would call the treating physician and ask them what they suggest. In the meanwhile I would treat it topically with a soothing cream or aloe vera gel.
Proper placement of fillers helps give you that "pouty" look that you are searching for. Botox cannot be injected into the lips. Some physicians inject a small amount into the lines above the mouth but it often leads to unwarranted side effects.
