Do I need Botox or fillers for my 11's, or do I need fillers? (Photos)

Hi and thanks for your question, Yes, Botox works very well to improve expressive lines (lines in the forehead, between the brows and crow's feet that are only there when you make facial expressions). Botox results will last between 3-4 months. Make sure to see an experienced injector. My goal is to always have patients look natural and maintain normal facial movement, so no one can ever tell that you have had injections. Hope this helps.

Your wrinkles are not deeply etched so I believe a good Botox treatment should take care of them. If you’re not happy with the results after two weeks, then you might consider filling in with a small amount of dermal filler or getting a laser resurfacing. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who can take a closer look at your skin in person and come up with the best solution for you.

Thank you for the photo! It really helps that you were able to post a photo. The photos appear that the 11s are minor in my estimation.  I would recommend Botox in this area.  FIllers have a high rate of side effects in the 11s area (glabella).  Botox is safe and effective treatment in reducing the appearance of these lines on the forehead. I recommend that you seek an in person evaluation for appropriate recommendations with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Botox is a great way to start. Botox will temorarily paralyze the muscles that cause the creases between the brows that sometimes are referred to as the 11s.  After injection, the botox begins to take affect in three to four days. After botox takes affect, it should last three months. The botox will only smooth the creases that are caused by muscle action. If the muscles between the brows are paralyzed, and there are still deep creases present, you may benefit from a hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm/Restyline). An experienced provider can cousel you as to which filler would be best in your particular case. Good luck

Hi there and thanks for your question and photos! Botox would be the best option to smooth out those 11 lines.  Botox relaxes the muscles that form the 11 lines and prevents the movement of "scrunching your brows."  I suggest seeing an experienced injector for more information. Best of luck! 

Hello, Thanks for sharing your pictures. You will benefit most from botox and over time there will be collagen induction and take care of the static lines too. Consult a board certified injector.

You donot need fillers. You should do well with Botox injections. Follow up with a cosmetic doctor for evaluation and treatment.

I would suggest Botox is a much safer and effective option for your 11’s than fillers at this point. See an expert! Dr. Aldo

Botox would probably be sufficient to smooth out your forehead wrinkles. You need to re-administer Botox every three to four months. A board-certified dermatologist will be able to get you the best results.

Botox is the best treatment for the glabella area.  After the lines are treated if you need any filler you will be able to assess it after two weeks. Since the lines don't appear to be deep you probably don't need any filler.  Please consult with an expert in Botox and cosmetic fillers.  Best, Dr. Green
