I'm 39 year old female. Got Botox for the first time 2 days ago. Received 55 units total. 20u in 11s, 10u forehead and 12.5 u each side for crows feet. Is this excessive? Getting worried about the frozen, unnatural look. I don't really have horizontal forehead lines or very deep 11s, my smile lines are more pronaunced and deeper when I smile. (Picture taken the day of injections)
Answer: What is average number of Botox units for the upper face? Hello,As panel members suggested, a total of 55 units of Botox for all these areas is average and reasonable. However, we are referring to an "average" dose. Each patient should have a treatment plan that is individualized to their needs and treatment goals. Muscle mass, muscle strength, and desired outcomes are all factored into the total number of units used. A good injector will review this with you ahead of time to produce the best result.

Answer: Botox/Xeomin/Dysport Results--Takes 1-2 weeks This amount can be typical for treatment. It's too soon for your final results. Botox results take 1-2 weeks. If you're unhappy with your final results, venus legacy treatments can help soften results. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Botox It is difficult to say if that would be the correct dose for you without doing an assessment to determine muscle size etc.. In general 55 units for all the facial areas seems about right. You want to make you still have some movement in the face so the treatment is looking natural and not frozen. If at two weeks you feel its too much then i would suggest you discuss this with your injector and possibly get less units at your next treatment . Enjoy your treatment!

Answer: Botox Dear Solo77,Botox is generally an on off switch for muscle activity. I get a fair amount of actors/actresses in my practice that are looking to reduce wrinkles but keep some expression. Without an examination it is hard to tell how much Botox is too much for you. Most of patients see first changes after 4-7 days and the final results after 10-14 days.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: First time Botox Welcome to the club! Botox is an amazing treatment for 11s, forehead lines and crow's feet and you should be thrilled with the results. 55 units is a very reasonable amount but, keep in mind, these treatments are completely customizable. Some patients like the frozen look; others prefer the softer look but still want the ability to move. You should see the full effect within 1-2 weeks then you can decide what you prefer. Communication with your doctor is the best way to assure you get the results you're after.As with all cosmetic treatments, especially when it comes to fillers, the skill of the doctor is of utmost importance. Don't trust your face to just anyone! Consult with an expert in facial aesthetics to maximize your results while minimizing side effects. You'll be happier and save money in the long run.
