When mixing 50 units of Botox with 1.5cc saline using syringe holding 5cc of the product how many units are in the syringe?

Question

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

If you mix 50 units into the syringe with saline then the syringe holds 50 units no matter what size the syringe. I suggest that you visit a Botox expert and not attempt to do this yourself. Beware of counterfeit material!

Im unsure as to the point of this question.  Are you checking up on the injector who did your botox or are you thinking of mixing your own.  The question as stated doesn't make sense -- 1.5cc of saline mixed with 50u of botox pulled into a 5cc syringe means that all 1.5 cc with the 50 u is now in the 5cc syringe.  Its like asking what color was George Washington's white horse or who is buried in Grant's tomb.  Im not making light of your question, Im just concerned.If you are trying to check up on your injector, please give him or her a call and make a follow up appointment to review what was done.  A reputable physician will have documented the dilution, lot number and number of units used.  If you are considering mixing your own, please do not do it.  Botox is not a cosmetic.  It is a drug that should only be administered by physicians who understand anatomy and drug chemistry.Please find a board certified cosmetic dermatologist if you don't already have one.I hope this answer was helpful.  Best of luck

If 50units of BOTOX are diluted in 1.5cc of saline and then drawn up in a 5cc syringe, then all 50units are in that syringe.
I would encourage you to refer this patient on to an experienced and confident surgeon.

Benjamin J. Cousins, MD · Answer

If you dilute the 50u of Botox with 1.5cc of saline and place all of that (1.5cc) into a 5cc syringe, there's 50u of Botox there. Be sure to see an experienced, Board Certified injector for best results and to avoid unwanted side effects.

Your question is really complicated as the dilution that you are asking about makes no sense and in real life would give you a droop. Please consult an expert in Botox for the correct amounts and dilutions.  Best, Dr. Green
