Does 54 units of Botox sound like an adequate dosage for forehead and crow’s feet?

I am a 49-year-old female and have been getting Botox on a regular basis for approx 6 years. The clinic I went to for a consultation in the city I moved to said Allergan recommends 54 units. Does this sound about right?

There is no reason to worry. The neurotoxin effects and results depend on the dose, distribution and injection technique. Restrictions on activity are unwarranted. Kissing will not change anything!
