I had a botox injection 6 weeks agoin my forehead and crow's feet areas, I had to re-visit the spa because my glabella had no noticeable change after 2.5 weeks. The MD was not pleased with the way the nurse injected the botox originally because he pointed out that the area above my eyebrows looked flat. He re-injected me with additional botox in the glabella and I still have not had any change in my "11"s. Could it be that they are using old Botox? I feel as though I wasted my money!

Answer: Botox on "11" lines without results I suggest trying another toxin such as dysport or xeomin. Some people also need much higher doses (2-3x normal) to get results. I see this a lot in my male patients or those who are very expressive. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Botox Variability Thank you for your question. Every patient is different from a presentation standpoint, as well as the results obtained from Botox. Several factors come into play. Anatomy of the musculature being treated, dilution quotients, injection technique, amount of drug used, patient health, and patient expectations. Botox is meant to soften your appearance, not rid you of your expression.Voice your concerns with your doctor. Compare your post-injection photo with your pre-injection photo.Your doctor wants you to have a meticulous result as do you. Establish a plan with your doctor so you can be realistic as to what to expect.Best wishes.
