I have small bruises and am swollen under the eye. If this normally? How do you know if you actually got the amount you paid for? I’m 36 and have always been happy with 28 units of Botox. He said I needed 72 units of Botox so I told him that I felt like that was to much for what I wanted to achieve. So that’s when he said I would be happier with Dysport. I know that it takes up to 7 days to see the full results but I feel like I go cheated. Thanks
Answer: Normally get 28 units of Botox a different Dr said I needed Dysport 180 units. How do I know I got what I paid for? You can’t really never know if you got what you paid for. For every 1 unit the equivalent amount of Dysport is approximately 3 units so if the doctor ordered 180 of Dysport you will be getting an equivalent dose of 60 botox. I’m not sure what area you are being injected but if you have done well with 28 units then 60 might be too much. If you did your whole forehead, the glabellar complex and crow’s feet you would not need more than 50 units in total. Of course it could be more but on average it would be less than or equal to 50 units.

Answer: For aesthetic procedures, go to a reputable place that you trust I think you can never truly know that you got what you paid for. But you should be able to tell if you like the results.Regarding the disparity in the number of units, I can imagine a scenario where this story makes sense, and several scenarios where it does not make sense. If the new doctor was suggesting new areas, then you would need additional units. I commonly inject > 70 units if I am doing the entire upper face (forehead, glabella, crow's feet) and an area in the lower face (eg DAO's, masseters, platysma). If you were wanting the same areas and you were happy with your previous result, it would make more sense to stick with your original injector.

Answer: Dysport vs. Botox Thank you for your question. If your injector indicated that he/she placed 180 units of Dysport, the equivalent would be approximately 60 units of Botox. Some bruising and swelling is quite normal following injection and will resolve in 1-2 days. Best to wait a full week before considering the final result of your procedure. Good luck.

Answer: Go for the results rather than units In the end, you have to take the doctor's word on how many units you received. Figure out how much you are willing to spend on an area and then go to the injector who gives you the best results. The dosage will also determine the longevity. If you are injected with a more concentrated solution, more units will be used and it will cost more but it will last longer.
