Also my eyebrow is lower and my nose slightly crooked this side (left). Can this be due to a general facial muscle imbalance? Actually all my body is tighter on the left.
Answer: Botox for overactive muscles Hello and thank you for your question. Yes it is possible, and even common, to have a stronger muscle on one side of the face than the other. I recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can examine you in person and create a customized treatment plan that addresses each muscle with the appropriate dosing amount to produce the best possible result.

Answer: Is it possible I have a stronger corrugator muscle on one side? Hello, Thank you for your question. It is common to have stronger/more animated muscles on one side vs. the other side of the face. Botox injections can smooth out the 11 lines/glabella (targets corrugators and procerus muscles). This typically requires 15-20 Units. I would recommend an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzFellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Botox Yes it is possible to have differences in muscles from one side of the face to the other. Botox dosaging will be adjusted based on this. It also is commonly used to improve brow asymmetry. See an expert injector near you to learn more.

Answer: Facial Rejuv -- PRP, Laser (Fraxel/Halo/Co2/moxi), emeragecosmetics COSMELAN ENLIGHTEN/ EMERAGESKIN AERIFY muscules can be independent. so yes you need a customized approach and botox with at home dermarolling and peels (see link) and inoffice lasers are best. at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging. For facial rejuvenation, I would suggest a combination approach of 1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling 2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors 3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium 4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill 5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting 6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest 7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin 8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months) Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Is it possible I have a stronger corrugator muscle on one side pulling my single vertical frown line? Is Botox right? (Photos) Thank you for sharing your question. Yes it is possible to have asymmetric muscle function leading to differences in crease formation. This would be treated with a higher dosing of Botox on that side and perhaps some dermal filler to improve the skins condition in that frown.
