Can I correct the eye dripping issue with Botox? Can I touch up Botox after one month initial injection if I think the first one is not enough? Can I touch up with different brand and different Doctor ? eg. At cruise ship?
Answer: Botox Touch ups A Botox treatment usually requires 7-14 days for patients to see full results and allow the product to settle. After the 14 days, your injector can realistically see if you require additional product. It is also not uncommon for patients to experience drooping of the eye as the product can migrate to neighbouring muscles. An experienced injector will be able to determine the cause and make corrections as needed. I would encourage you to return to the injector who did the treatment as they will have a record of how much product was used and where it was placed. I would also recommend you stick with the same product. Your injector selected the right provide for your needs, changing the treatment plan can lead to other issues or contraindications. I can't stress enough the importance of selecting a reputable, qualified injector such as an aesthetic doctor or nurse that can provide your with ongoing care should you encounter any issues following treatment. Although Botox is very commonly used, it is important to remember that it is still a drug and must be viewed with extreme caution. All the best,

Answer: Best to wait 2 weeks before botox touch up Hi,Thank you for your question.Typically, the best time to touch up is at the 2 week mark when botox/dysport has its peak results. Touching up too soon can result in over treatment and possibly a feeling of "heaviness" if the forehead is treated.It's difficult to know whether your concern is regarding "eyelid droop" or "brow droop." Depending on what is the problem, additional units may or may not be the next course of action. As always, it's recommended to see a board-certified injector.Hope this helps!

Answer: Botox additional treatment to the same area can be done two weeks after the sane The effect of Botox peaks at two weeks. I usually tell my patients who have never had Botox that they should see me two weeks later so I can evaluate if their muscles are so strong that they need more Botox. It is more prudent to inject what is deemed an appropriate number of units for that muscle mass rather than putting in too much which would cost more in many practices as the charge often is per unit not area (depending on the practice). It is not very common but if additional units are needed then more Botox is placed at the two or four week point for an additional cost for those number of units. Then the next full treament at about four months, I inject the sum of the units used the first visit and the follow-up appointment and that usually suffices.I prefer patients to see board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons who are in their local area for cosmetic treatment so they can return for followup if needed for concerns that develop, and that would not be possible if you have it done on a cruise ship.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.

Answer: Botox takes full effect at 10-14 days. Thank you for your question. Botox takes full effect at 10-14 days. Touch up is perfectly fine after this time. Although it is best to follow up with the same injector as they have a record of what was done, it is acceptable to see someone else. I hope this help.
