How Can I Tell if the Doctor is Actually Giving Me the Amount of Botox He Says I'm Getting?

This treatment should profoundly freeze your forehead, droop your eyebrows and the effect should last 4 months.  If you are not experiencing effects like this, then you are probably getting less BOTOX than you are paying for.  If your treatment is wearing off in weeks rather than months, or you are experiencing a lot of residual forehead movement with this dose, then it is probably time to try another injector.  Please stick with core aesthetic specialists (i.e. dermatology, facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, and oculoplastic surgery) with a good reputation.

Hi Non-monster,

There is no way that you can tell how much Botox is being given to you.  The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery has a slogan, "Trust Your Face to a Facial Plastic Surgeon", but as importantly you must trust the ethics, morals, and character of your treating physician.  That is why it must be emphasized, "Choose your physician most carefully".  Good luck and be well.
