Hello. I'm thinking of getting botox for my 'angry 11' wrinkles. The lines are always thre even if i'm not making any facial expressions. Do you think Botox will work for these type of wrinkles? I've read from other sites that using fillers is risky on these region of the face. I'm male in my 31. I leaning towards Botox. Please give me your opinions. Thanks.

Answer: Addressing deep glabellar dynamic and static rhytids As you've hinted at, Botox is excellent for addressing dynamic wrinkles - those that are created from the movement of your facial muscles. Movement of the muscles causes the overlying skin to wrinkle, and with constant wrinkling can cause the skin to become permanently creased. While Botox will help soften your creases, it may be necessary to also have some filler injection to fully address them.

Answer: Botox or Fillers? Maybe both in your case. Hi Sparky. As Dr. Truong points out, we always start with Dysport (Botox). If the smoothing effect achieved with Dysport alone is not enough for the patient, then we proceed to a dermal filler and we prefer Restylane in this area because it is a softer, smoother gel. Make certain to find an injector well versed with injecting off label areas with fillers (like between the eyes). Good luck.
