Will 1000 units of Botox on the face cause me to gain weight?

Question

Would 1000cc of botox cause weight gain? If so, is the weight permanent or until the botox wears off?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Receiving 1000 units of Botox would be a significant amount.  Is that perhaps a typo?  Botox does not contribute to weight gain.  Botox wearing off does not lead to weight loss.  I hope that helps.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin. Receiving 1000 units of Botox in the face is a substantially high amount to receive all at once. I would highly recommend against that. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation in order to better assess your areas of concern and discuss an appropriate treatment plan to help achieve your aesthetic goals. Our office phone number is: (312) 944-0117. I hope this helps and best of luck!
