Went in for botox and tear trough consult. Was told 60 units of botox "to start" Was told I needed 2 syringes of filler in my cheeks in order to do the tear trough area another 2 syringes in tear trough... they tried to say sunken eyes was due to volume loss in cheeks and eyes( i was born with sunken eyes my 7 year old has them also doubtful my 7 year old has volume loss)also wanted my lips a little bigger since they are already decent sized....told I needed 3 syringes of juvederm for my lips.
Answer: Do I really need 60 units of botox & 7 syringes of filler age 32? Thank you for your question and sharing your photos. 60 units of Botox are enough to treat all three areas of the face : glabella, crows feet and forehead. Do you need to do so ? The answer is NO, at least not in one shot. 7 syringes of fillers, it seems a lot to be injected right away and very strange that they were able to figure it out just by looking at you.The main goal is to provide a customized degree of facial rejuvenation to your specific goals and condition to achieve the younger and natural look you want. It is about the ‘make-under’ rather than the ‘make-over’ effect. I believe that the more natural, understated look is far more appealing. Beauty is about enhancing what you have. Taking this particular "AGGRESSIVE" enhancement with 60 units of Botox and 7 syringes of fillers in one setting is definitely "make-over" job. Please get second opinion for you commit to anything.

Answer: Improving Under Eyes & Cheek Augmentation -- Fillers (Voluma, Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk), Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP The amount of filler needed is variable to each person and their individual goals. For under eyes, I recommend a combination of fillers with lasers and microneedling/prp to get the most improvement. Sculptra can help rebuild collagen and augment the cheeks. These fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill), fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Over-Injection Based on your pictures and age, I think 60 units of Botox and 7 syringes is far too much. The goals of injectable should be to soften wrinkles and lines that occur with aging while elegantly blending aesthetic regions of the face that demarcate with age. If over-injected, the results can be difficult and expensive to reverse. You can always start slow and come back in 2 weeks to your plastic surgeon or dermatologist if not completely satisfied.

Answer: Fillers Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. It is very common to use two syringes for the cheeks and under the eyes. 3 syringes for the lips sounds a bit high but the doctor may be planning to use it around the mouth as well. It is very important to feel comfortable with your doctor and the treatments you are recieving. You can always start with less, evaluate and then add more. Make sure to ask them all your questions as well so that you have a very clear understanding of their goal. This will ensure that you are on the same page with this treatment and maintenance. Good luck!

Answer: How Much Botox and Fillers Thank you for your question. This really depends on what your goals are. However, I like to with less Botox and fillers in my younger patients. I like to start with 1 syringe of filler for the lips, 1 per side for tear troughs and 1-2 syringes of filler per cheek and then assess the results at 2 weeks. It is then you can have more filler or Botox injected if you desire. It is best to start with smaller doses and add more if necessary. I recommend getting a second opinion from an expert injector as these doses seem very high. Best of Luck!
