My 1st visits were great. All the areas that were injected were smooth in days. Now I see a huge difference. It is so disillusioning. When asking this particular question on Google of being possibly cheated by the injector there were over 600,000 responses on Google. That is a sad fact that many 1000's of people getting Botox feel the same way. Why would anyone cheat the client/patient? It is so wrong.

Answer: Fake Botox Unfortunately there can be practitioners who dilute the product or use "counterfeit Botox" (which apparently is becoming more common). My advice is to seek a trusted and reputable plastic surgeon or dermatologist and ask to see the bottle if there is a concern (each bottle of Botox has a unique lot number and hologram from Allergan).

Answer: Botox effects There is not a lot of information here to be able to help you figure out why your experience of your most recent injection is so different. Was there perhaps a change in dose or placement or a different injector? Also, Botox is a delicate protein. If it wasn't handled properly or stored properly it could have become inactive. Hopefully you have contacted the injector to discuss your concerns and your experience. They should see you back, try to determine what the issue is and rectify it. If they don't, then perhaps you are dealing with someone who is not on the up and up. Most times when I have had clients come to me saying they were very unhappy with a Botox result it was a scenario where they did a "Groupon" deal somewhere, got a too good to be true discount, and thus I suspect got a lot fewer units injected than what they were told (because the price offered per unit for the Botox was not enough to cover the cost of the Botox!). In the end, your relationship with your aesthetic provider needs to be a solid one. Find someone with a lot of experience and a good reputation and stick with them. If you have a result you are not happy with communicate that and let them work with you to figure out why. "Board Certification" alone is no guarantee of excellence. In my practice we do dynamic photos on all of our new toxin clients- pictures of them with their target muscles fully contracted- and store those in their chart to use as a reference should there be any question as to a particular result, so we know where things started.
