Dear LadydA small amount of BOTOX can be very helpful for the dimpling of the chin. Also a small amount of BOTOX in the depressor anguli oris muscles that pull on the corners of the mouth may be beneficial.However, perioral fillers are a much better option than BOTOX. Perlane in particular can create very long lasting volume improvement. This is probably a much better option than the BOTOX.
Botox is useful for dimples on the chin and for depressed corners of the mouth (depressor anguli oris, or DAO muscle).If the chin is truly sagging (witch's chin), as for example from a sagging mentalis muscle from an old style chin implant placement, Botox could worsen the problem by causing the mentalis muscle to relax and droop further.If sagging of the chin refers to loose skin, loose platysma muscle or extra fat under the chin, Botox will be of no use, and a necklift, facelift, chin implant, etc. should be considered.
We are not sure what you mean by "sagging chin". Would you desscribe it for us or include a photo?If you mean sagging skin around the chin and under it, you would probably need a facelift. Fillers might be useful as well, especially in the deeper lines. I would recommend a consultation with an experienced physician who is well versed in different options and can discuss them with you.
If you mean that you have puckering and depressions in the chin, then you will benefit from Botox. If you mean that your skin under your chin is sagging then Botox is not the treatment of choice. Botox can be injected into the platysma muscle bands that develop in the neck with some positive results as long as one still has good skin elasticity.
Dear Brooks Botox for the neck cords can be helpful. However, it is not nearly as dramatic as surgery. I think that it is not unreasonable to try BOTOX for the neck cords. If it works, great. If not then surgery will be necessary. I would discourage you from having just a neck lift however...
From 5-15. I tend to not be an aggressive heavy forehead line injector. It is easy to over do it and leave somewhat flat eyebrows which is not aesthetically pleasing until the botox wears off.
Dear Taylor Made, the spasms are due to not enough botox being injected and this is easily treated with the addition of more botox to the muscles that are spasming. This can ocurr again if a smaller number of units is used for a subsequent treatment in a few months. With Warm...
Yes it is possible to dilute the Botox to the point of no effect. However, it is also not realistic to achieve complete paralysis of the muscles. If this is your goal, you will risk causing eyelid drooping due to overcorrection. However, 6 weeks is too early for the Botox to be wearing off....
I would consult your ophthalmologist before changing your eye-drop regimen because the priority here is your Glaucoma. He/she may switch you to Apraclonidine, but you will likely have minimal to no change in your eyelid droop with this eye-drop because it has the same mechanism of...
You must contact your physician who performed this treatment. They know how many units they used and the places they were inserted. Cold compresses should not affect the good Botox result adversely but again, have your physician see you in person to examine your condition.
