I have had Botox several times. I just turned 50 and it has worked well in the past. Two weeks ago, I had the following injections that did not really do the trick: Forehead - 8 units (very few wrinkles on forehead) Glabella - 15 units (pretty deep 11's) Crow's Feet - 10 units (5 each side) Total units: 33 Two weeks later I had additional injections for further correction: Glabella - 9 units (24 total) Crows - 12 units (22 total) Eyebrow Lift - 2 units (had not done this before) Total units in 2 weeks: 56 This seems to me like a TON of Botox. I was a bit nervous, but was assured by the doctor that this was not excessive; average or slightly above, but not excessive. He explained some patients get upwards of 70 units for correction without the frozen appearance. I trusted him; but sit here and wonder what I will look like in 7 days. Any feedback appreciated.

Answer: Dosing should be individualized We're sure you feel much better about your situation after reading the many responses from panel members. Your first treatment may have been quite conservative; however, it is much easier to add more units than to have too much on board initially wherein there is nothing to do to remedy the situation.

Answer: Not too much Botox At one sitting many patients can receive up to 30 units for the crow’s feet and 35 units for the glabella. You did not receive too many units in terms of the safety of Botox. It may be difficult to figure out the correct dose for next treatment if you keep adding more Botox. Sometimes, if you’re unhappy with the results, it is better to let it all go away and start fresh with a higher dose next treatment rather than to continue to add more only a few weeks later.

Answer: Fifty units of Botox is a very average amount to start with. Many patients benefit from Botox for treatment of dynamic wrinkles of the forehead, glabella (11's), crow's feet, and droopy brows. Fifty units of Botox is a very average amount to begin with. Some patients may require more on their second treatment.

Answer: No actually not enough Botox these initial doses are extremely low and I wonder what the specialty of the the treating physician is......this sounds like an inexperienced injector. The crow's feet area can easily require 12 units on average per side, the glabella can require 25-40 units, and the forehead sometimes needs 15-20 units or so. Of course these numbers can fluctuate a bit but the number of units he/she used on you in the initial visit, are low. You will know for sure in 7-10 days.
