Botox 80 Units Recommended for the Forehead, Recommended?

April 8, 2012

I am 34 and considering getting Botox done for the first time to address the issue of horizontal lines on my forehead. The doctor I went to see recommended 80 units for the forehead area and 20 for the area around the eyes? After reading through your comments I see that the average amount of units for the forehead area is about 30-35. Please advise as to whether the amount recommended is normal for this issue. Thank you!
