Multiple Botox treatments no results, am I being scammed?

I am not sure its resistance to Botox, but its something to consider. It could simply be the batch that he  tried using.  Especially since it seems you have used Botox before and didn't have this reaction.  I would consider trying one last time, possibly with a different injector.  If he offers to do it for free, then I would consider sticking with the same injector.  Sometimes the Botox rep can help and provide a sample for patients that don't respond appropriately to the medicine.   Alternatively, you can try another product, like Dysport or Xeomin.  Good Luck!

The results from a Botox treatment are dependent on the dosage used and the placement of the injections.  I would consider a total of 25 units of Botox to treat the forehead and 11's a low dose.  I understand you went back and had another 25 units placed in the forehead, and I would think that you should see a response from this.  So, it is possible that the placement of the injections is the issue.  I would return to the physician who treated you and discuss your concern and see what options he gives you.

I'm sorry to hear of your poor experience. If you've had Botox in the past with a similar dose and much different results it's reasonable to bring your concerns to the injector. With 50 units you should not be able to fully animate. Were photos taken before your treatment? I would try to discuss your concerns with your injector but if you are not satisfied it may be best to move on.

If you truly did not respond to 50 units of Botox in your forehead and 11’s, and your injector used a different batch for your second treatment, you may be one of the unfortunate few who are Botox resistant. I would recommend that you wait for a full 14 days after your last injection and then do a follow up appt with your injector.  If there is no improvement noted, it would be a best practice to offer to try a different neuromodulator such as Dysport at no cost, but office practice policies vary. Otherwise, i would try a different provider. Best wishes, Pamela Stuart, MD

It’s unfortunate you did not respond to Botox, you could be one of a few that does not respond to Botox or the Botox the injector used might be among a bad batch. I would consider trying a different injector and see what happens. 

A small number of the world population is completely resistant to all of the products like Botox. This may be the case with you. It is unfortunate but good luck from New York City
