How much would it cost for botox around the eye area?

Hello, Botox usually costs around $8-12 per unit, and a typical starting dose is 9 units per side around the eyes (some patients will need more than this).  

The cost of a treatment with Botox (or fillers, for that matter) depends upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the experience and expertise of the injector, the location of the practice, the particular muscle groups that require treatment, the kinds of muscles needing attention (thicker vs. thinner muscles, for example, or male muscles vs. female muscles). Similar considerations come in to play when it comes to the cost of treatments with fillers and volumizing fillers, particularly which particular product or combination of products are anticipated to be used. Personally, I set my fees according to the global job, not by the number of of units of Botox or the number of syringes of filler. When a person undergoes surgery, the surgeon quotes a global fee for the procedure, for whatever it takes to get the job done right (and an experienced physician should know this in advance), and not according to each packet of suture material or number of gauze pads used. Likewise, once the fee for Botox treatment or nonsurgical augmentation is determined for a particular patient, that fee remains the same whether 20 units or 40 units of Botox are needed or three syringes or five or more of varying types of fillers are needed to complete the job. This approach contrasts sharply with less experienced and novice physician injectors and medspas that have recently flooded the field who attempt to entice customers by selling their treatments flea market style by the unit of Botox or the syringe of filler.

As one of the most common plastic surgery treatments, Botox is typically charged either per unit injected, or per area treated. My practice is to charge patients on a per unit basis, allowing patients to pay for what they receive. Though specials may take the cost near $10/unit, in the Atlanta market $12-15 dollars/unit is typical. You can anticipate receiving between 8 and 16 units for both your eyes.
