Botox 80 Units Recommended for the Forehead, Recommended?

The number of units needed for forehead treatment can vary considerably per individual based on their anatomy, strength of muscles and if the glabella (between the eyebrows) and upper forehead is done or just the glabella. At your age and as its your first treatment, it might be better to start with a much lower number of units. You can always add, but you can't take away.

Hi there, 
Eighty units is way too much for the forehead.  This is not the recommended dosage.  The average is anywhere from 10-30 units.

A good rule of thumb with Botox injections is 20 units per area (glabella, forehead, crows feet).  That being said, 80 units just to the forehead seems a bit excessive.  Make sure that you are going to an experienced, board certified physician.  If you need help finding one in your area, you can always consult the Botox website for assistance.

80 units is too much for the forehead, frown lines and brow lift all together.  20 units is average for crow's feet.  Please see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an experienced injector to receive the best possible treatment.

100 units of botox is excessive for these areas.  Are you sure the physician was not referring to 100 units of Dysport.  100 units of Dysport equates to about 33 units of Botox.

80 units in the forehead area is too high.  Your doctor should try to find the lowest dose of Botox that is effective for you.  He/she may also be referring to forehead and glabella together, but even then - the number is still too high.  The doctor may also be using Botox at a different dilution. The best thing to do if you like the doctor would be to clarify why the number of units is so high or get a second opinion from another physician for comparison. 

80 units sounds like a lot, maybe they were referring to Dysport and not Botox?  I would get a second opinion and also clarify with your doctor what they were referring to. 

Eighty units for the forehead seems a bit high, especially if this is the first time you are using it.  I would seek another opinion for comparative purposes.

That sounds a little high.  I use 30 units across the brows, 20 units in the crow's feet (total for both sides) and 4-8 units across the upper forehead, on average.  This can vary depending on how patients have responded to previous injections.  Some patients don't want to spend much, but want to try Botox and we compromise and put in less, with the warning that they may not get as dramatic an effect as they want. It can't hurt to ask the injector how they are diluting their Botox, as a few unscrupulous people have been reported to elevate their unit numbers to people who have no way of knowing exactly what is being injected. Bottom line, find someone you trust.

 80 units of Botox is a large dose and you might want to have a more typical dose of 20-25 units to start IMHO.
