28 yo F. Recieved 50 units of botox 8 months ago. I felt rather frozen after treatment. I am wondering what other providers would sughes would be an optimal range to recieve. I have never used dysport, but would be open to considering. Thank you all for your input.
Answer: Botox Dosage Hello, my name is Dr. Burko and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in NYC. There are currently multiple approved neuromodulators on the market. Botox is one of them. Typically, there are recommended doses of toxin for each muscle that is being targeted with the injection. However, providers will sometimes tailor their dosages based on each individual patient. My recommendation is to go see a trained plastic surgeon who can give you their best suggestion for treatment.

Answer: Botox Hello, This is a great question! You are young, and have begun preventatively getting toxin injections for prevention. While 50 units is under the FDA approved dose of 64 units in the upper face, it is still up there and can leave you feeling very frozen after treatment. Whether you continue with Botox or begin Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau, you will still feel that frozen since 50 units is a large amount for a 28 year old with few lines. For you, I would begin with less units, have you follow up with a 2 week dose adjustment if needed, and allow you to go about your life for 3-4 months to see how long this lesser dose lasts, and how you like the results. From then, we can always tweak and increase if needed. It is always better to begin with less than more! Best,Dr. Tanovic

Answer: How many Botox units should I expect to recieve? 28 y/o female? Hi Sam, I would likely treat a young woman like you with anywhere from 24 to 32 units of Botox. Your frozen feeling was probably due to the relatively high dose that you received. Be sure to choose your injecting physician most carefully. Good luck and be well. Michael Persky, MD Encino, CA

Answer: Depends on which areas Hi! It depends on which areas you want injected and whether you want a more natural look vs more frozen. My guess is you're hoping for more natural based off of what you said. If I were just treating the horizontal forehead lines, I would do something like 6u, for central glabella something like 9u, and I can't tell if in the last pic you're trying to show crow's feet but you're very light so maybe only 4-6u per side for eyes. I tell my new patients that I can always add more tox to you if you want more, but once there's too much put in, we can't do anything except wait, so I always err on lower dose and then add.
