Do most doctors take photos before Botox treatment?

acuriouspatientSep 11, 2016

I recently switched physicians because I moved. My previous doc would taken pictures of me before Botox and at my follow up appointment. The new one does not. Is it common to take photos? Should I be concerned about the second doctor's practice?

Unfortunately, thissounds as if the injection was too close to the muscles that move your lip and you will need to wait untilthe Botox wears off within the next three to four months.  It will improve over 4-6 weeks. Best, Dr. Emer

I’m sorry to hear of your negative experience with BOTOX®. Because you only had 6 units injected, your results will likely dissipate by the 2 month mark. It’s important for BOTOX® injectors to have a detailed understanding of facial anatomy so that a heavy brow isn’t the result. A skilled...

Thank you for sharing your question.  Botox can be used for both cosmetic and functional issues in the body but it can not increase the size of the clitoris.
