Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Would Botox in the neck area help with aging skin? 45 y/o
Non-surgical modalities shall ‘not’ help.
Oct 22, 2023
Botulinum toxins may be used to soften (relax) the platysmal bands of the neck; however, they are not going to effect an improvement for loose or sagging skin (esp. after weight-loss, and given your age and ethnicity). The use of a handful of minimally invasive energy-based devices (the best being Renuvion, in my opinion) or open surgery (cervicoplasty or neck lift gold standard), shall provide you with the most meaningful solution. Do ‘not’ fall for promises of tangiblechange from HiFU…
I had Xeomin 6 months ago. Why do I still have terrible migraines, heavy pressure be
See your G.P. +/- Optometrist.
Oct 14, 2023
Such symptoms in the first days after treatment may reasonably be attributed to the neurotoxin (Xeomin in this case); however, extremely unlikely at six months. It may be an idea to see a general physician/ family practitioner to have a check-up, including reviewing your blood pressure, and do also consider seeing an optometrist (in case your symptoms are related to you needing to wear spectacles/ having a change of visual prescription).
Masseter Botox and Jowls/Marionette Lines
Botox to the Masseter Muscles
Jul 11, 2023
There is no substitute to a clinical (in-person) examination; however based on your spiel and photos, my comments are: (1) Yes, significant use of Botox to masseters may worsen the facial contours of the lower-third; however, step-wise and reasonably conservative use would be fine and should allow you to evaluate in a sequential fashion; (2) I agree that you have downturned corners of your mouth, but it also appears that you have early/ evolving Marionette lines (melomental grooves)….
Would I benefit from Botox for marionette lines?
Fillers are ‘not’ the ideal choice, although perhaps the most obvious answer.
Jul 11, 2023
Yes, you do have Marionette lines. The simple answer would be to add filler to the areas of your concern; however, it appears (from your photos) that you already have a reasonable amount of filler in various areas of your face, and I do ‘not’ think it is aesthetically pleasing to continue to add filler.
You should consider going sequentially as follows: (1) The judicious use of any of the botulinum toxins (to muscles around both corners of the mouth) and to your chin (you’ve got an evolving…
Can Botox injected wrong cause nerve damage?
Not a Complication of Botox Treatment
Jul 11, 2023
I’m sorry to read that you’re feeling unwell and are worried. Botox injected into your lower forehead region (to address ’11 lines’) would ‘not’ cause the symptoms you’re describing (i.e. there’s no direct relationship between injecting between the eyebrows and “numbness/in [sic] my swelling feeling in the back of [your] tongue and throat”. Importantly, have you spoken with your MD about your concerns?
Is it okay to get Botox the day before I get chin liposuction & breast augmentation?
Botox and Cosmetic Surgery
Mar 29, 2023
The title of your question doesn’t match the body of your text, and you haven’t mentioned to where you want to get Botox. You may certainly get Botox (any anti-wrinkle) the day before liposuction and breast augmentation. If you wish to get Botox whilst under GA for surgery, then get your doctor to mark where you wish to get Botox prior to the operation. Of course, if you’re seeking Botox where your going to have surgery, i.e. same anatomical area (e.g. Botox for platysmal bands and…
Botox Muscular Atrophy Between Brows – What can I do to fix this?
Loss of Muscle Mass due to Botox
Sep 17, 2022
It is well-established that muscle atrophy (shrinkage) happens consequential to the administration of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT-A) in the local area. This is said to be temporary and reversible. However, it serves to reason that long-term chemodenervation (paralysis due to the use of BoNT-A), especially significant amounts in the same area, would cause local muscle-thinning; hence causing a relative depression compared with surrounding areas. So, what is the solution in your case? Firstly,…
