Do i need more units of botax on my frown lines at the touch up sessions? Or do I need a fat transfer, perhaps other types of fillers to perfectly flatten my frown lines?

Answer: More Botox or Filler
If your frown lines are deeper or if the injector was overly conservative, you may need additional units. For particularly deep creases, a filler such as juvederm or restylane can help. To perfectly flatten your frown lines is not a reasonable expectation.

Answer: Botox won't erase frown lines
Botox won't erase lines that have been etched in to the skin. Botox keeps muscles from contracting and increasing the depth or severity of the lines. Imagine your skin is like a piece of paper...once you fold it and create a crease in the paper even when you unfold it and lay it flat you can still see the impression of the line on the paper. If the groove is quite deep you may consider a filler in addition to Botox and possibly a laser procedure like Pearl Fractional to help soften the line further.
Good luck~
