When considering Botox to erase crows feet and fillers to plump or slightly lift cheeks, and unable to do both at the same time, which is better to do first and why?

Answer: Botulinum toxin for crow's feet and/or Filler for cheeks: Which goes first? We do both at the same time. However, if you insist on doing them separately, I would prefer Botox first to assess the impact of the toxin on the obricualris and malar festoons. This would possibly require more filler than if performed at the same time.

Answer: In what order should you get cosmetic procedures There is a common theme here among the answering physicians. Cosmetic procedures are not like surgery to remove an infected gallbladder. The gallbladder scenario is an all or none option. You can't take out half the gallbladder. Cosmetic procedures are done when something bothers you aesthetically. What bothers one person will not bother another person and vice versa. Also, because you are not dealing with an illness you have the luxury of time. If desired you can address the issue(s) in a piecemeal fashion as you can afford it money wise and recovery time wise. Decide the degree to which different things bother you and address them in that order. Never get more cosmetic procedures (surgical and non-surgical) at a time than you can afford money wise and recovery time wise.
