I had Botox in my forehead and between my brows almost 10 days ago. I do see the lift on my eye area but not in the nasty line between my eyes (my main concern). Is this time to go in for a touch-up or should I wait a little longer?

Answer: Botox Cosmetic Does Not Always Give an Eyelid Lift I understand your concern after having Botox injected around forehead and glabella area. Sit tight -- 10 days is too early to tell the exact effect that has taken. . I have found that Botox works its best 21- 30 days after injection, and this is the best time to have your doctor re-evaluate your concerns (Of course you can always call your cosmetic surgeon sooner.) Botox does not always give a brow and eyelid lift. You did not mention receiving botox in the cow's feet area. In order to achieve a brow lift this area is critical for treatmnet. Unfortunately due to budget concerns by patients, or due to a lack of understanding of how Botox works, patients occasionally choose to have a smaller dosage than is necessary to treat their cosmetic concerns. To Michigan RealSelf readers, I offer Botox Cosmetic for only $10 /unit (minimum 30 units) through December 31, 2008.

Answer: Botox touch-up
I generally book back my Botox patients 2 weeks after their treatment to give them the complete chance for the Botox to fully kick in. At that point, you can consider adding more units of Botox if need be, and in some cases some filler too.
