I am curious to know recommendations on number of units to try in my chin for Botox. I have read some horror stories and am a little nervous to get chin Botox but my injector is recommending I do 20 units. I would just like to hear some other opinions as well..

Answer: Botox 20u for just the chin (mentalis) seems quite extreme... but that's asusming you're talking botox units; if it's dysport units, that could be a little more reasonable. I would clarify which type you are doing but also with botox, you can definitely overdo it and then have to wait for it to wear off... whereas oyu could also always do less and then add more. my rec is always start low, add more if you need more later. so for something like this, I'd probably start you around 3-6u and then add more based on how your body responds.

Answer: Botox for the chin (peau d'orange) 5 units is enough It's important to find an experienced injector. 20 units in my opinion is a lot. I would ask the injector how long they have been injecting Botox. Botox in the chin is relatively straightforward as long as they know the anatomy and stay in the safe area. Please watch the attached video for more information.
