Is it Normal for a Doctor to Inject Me Once on Each Side for Crows Feet?

Hello,

When a clinician injects Botox the amount of fluid injected will depend on the concentration of Botox mixed up.  If your physician used a higher concentration of Botox then a smaller injection is needed to give you the same number of units.  I would recommend asking your physician what number of units were placed into each of your crow's feet areas.  In your past it was possible that your other injectionist used a lower concentration of Botox so a larger number of low-volume injections were necessary to deliver the same total number of units. 

Good luck.

Crow's feet can be treated with Botox using multiple techniques. Whether your injector uses a single injection point or five points is less important than their level of experience. Personally I prefer 3-5 injections with an additional amount beneath the outer eyebrow to lift it. I know of several very accomplished injectors who will perform one large injection and then spread it around with gentle pressure. All of these techniques work. The main question is whether your crow's feet are improved at 3-5 days. If your injector has experience, they should be. If they are not, please return and ask what can be done differently to treat this area.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
