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.
