1. When will I see results from a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment?

It will take 7-10 days to see the result from a BOTOX cosmetic treatment.


2. Is there anything I need to tell my doctor?

You should tell the doctor if you have had it in the past, any medical issues especially a neuromuscular disorder and anything else you would consider important to tell the physician.


3. Will I still be able to make facial expressions?

It depends on what you are looking for. If you would like to keep some expression, that is possible. Just discuss your wishes with your plastic surgeon prior to injection.


4. What will happen to the frown lines between my brows if I choose not to continue treatments?

Sometimes, the Botox will attenuate the wrinkles for the long term by relaxing the muscles, however, you should plan on returning to your original appearance.


5. Do treatment results differ?

In general, you can get very consistent results with Botox treatment. But it can differ from treatment to treatment or patient to patient. This is why I always have the patients come back for a two-week post-injection follow-up. At that time, if the patient wants more Botox, I provide it free of charge.


6. What can I expect from BOTOX Cosmetic treatment?

You will have a minimal amount of pain with the injection. It feels like a bee sting. There may be some bruising or swelling, but it is rare. I always recommend that my patients ice it right after, sleep with their head elevated that night and not workout the first night after the injection. As I said previously, I ask the patients to return 2 weeks post-injection to see what the results are and if the patient requests a re-injection to even things up or augment the results I provide free of charge.
