Botox: How many units needed for 11 lines for young patients? (photos)

Hello,A qualified injector will assess your muscle movement and discuss your desired results with you before injecting. You could begin with a conservative amount, 10-15 units and measure results a week later for adjustment if needed.All the best

Hello Thanks for your inquiry. A picture of you frowning would help to better answer your question. Considering it would be your first time getting injected you can start off with 15-20 units. Typically it can range between 20-25 units depending on the strength of the muscles in the glabella (frown line area). These numbers are only estimates and this does not substitute a live consult with a certified experienced injector. Best regards

I typically do 16-25 units to start and it depends if we are trying to do a small amount of brow lifting.  I suggest you see an expert who does a lot of younger patients and can develop a long term relationship with you.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I typically inject 20-25 units for the glabella (11 lines) depending on the strength of the muscles being treated and how deep the wrinkles are.  In the office, we are able to determine what dose is best.  Usually, I'll start conservatively in a patient who has never been injected before because we can always do more later if it doesn't achieve the look you desire.  Good luck!

Hi Name.  We typically use around 30 units for the browlift and frown lines together.  Because you have only the concern about the left eyebrow being lower, we may only inject that side.  To see an example of a Los Angeles patient that had the Botox browlift at our office, click on the link below.

I cannot tell you exactly how many units you will need, but it can be from 14 to 20 units for the 11 lines in between your brows, to improve the asymmetry in the position of your brows, it is important to examine your frontalis muscle action, and check where and how many units you need, it can be as low as 4 units or maybe 10 units.

I appreciate your question.I typically use 20 units for get rid of the "mean" face :)The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Typically, about 20 units is adequate to soften the movement in this area. This does need to be customized for each patient but it's rare for a young person with smooth skin to require more than 20 units there. Good luck!Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

In general I recommend 20 units for the corrugator muscles.  These are the muscles that cause the "11" between the brows.  Most patients do great with 20 units, but in certain instances some men with more muscle mass will require more.As far as the lateral (outer) brow area goes, you would only need a few units to raise the left brow a bit so that it is more even with the right brow.Hope that helps.  Good luck.

I individualize each person and treat accordingly with the dose of Botox. I typically believe less is more and if you need a touch up then I will give you more. But typically I will put around 28 units in the frown lines and forehead unless you have very wide or strong facial muscles.
