Does botox reduce fat? Can it reduce fat cheekbones and fat jawline?

Botox and fat, jawline
Feb 3, 2017

Thank you for this interesting question. In a word, no, Botox cannot reduce fat, nor can it reduce bones. Botox can be injected into certain jaw muscles to weaken them, and thereby may temporarily shrink them. This can lead to a slimming effect. There may be a limited role for liposuction of portions of the neck and jawline to improve the appearance you are describing. The face in may ways reflects body composition, and general weight loss...

Heavy eyelid after Botox

Heavy eyelid after Botox
Feb 2, 2017

Thank you for the question, and sorry to see this outcome. 72 units sounds like a pretty heavy dose for the areas described. You should be able to see the final results within 7-10 days of your treatment. There may not be too much your Doctor can do at this stage, but I would suggest contacting the office to discuss the outcome. It is possible that you will see improvement in the position of the right brow before 3 months, perhaps as early as 3-4 weeks from...

I have received Botox in my forehead lines. I've done this twice and now I want to stop. What can you a

Stopping Botox and alternatives
Feb 1, 2017

Botox is optional, and there is no reason to not stop if you wish to do so. While bruising can happen with any injection, heavy bruising after forehead injections is unusual. Good sun protection and reasonable/affordable home skin care is important. You may also look into micro needling treatments, or perhaps a laser treatment. Managing facial aging is a long game, and will take time, money and consistency. I think it's wise for you to step back a bit and gather...

How long after my 1st lip injections can I get more? Is it normal to have hard lumps in my lips 1 week

Lumps in lips and how long to wait for more
Jan 26, 2017

Thank you for the question and photos. Lumpy areas can occur after lip injections, but the lumps and swelling should resolve shortly after injection. I would suggest checking in with your Physician to get an update on what you can expect. It is wise to avoid getting too much filler at one time. Once you've lived with a certain amount for a couple of weeks, and feel motivated to get more, you should be able to do so. Good luck getting the look you want!

Swelling after lip fillers really bad!

Lip swelling after injection
Jan 25, 2017

Thank you for the helpful photos. The swelling is notable, but it is good to hear that it is going down. You should contact your Doctor and have them examined if necessary. It may be worth comparing the products used this time with previous treatments - perhaps something was added or changed that may be contributing to this reaction. Best wishes!

I want to get fillers for my lips, chin and labiomental fold but I'm afraid because I heard that filler

Fillers and vision
Jan 20, 2017

Thank you for this helpful question. Any injections to the face, including the areas you mention, must be done with care, and by an injector well versed in facial anatomy and safe injection techniques. There are some areas with small blood vessels that interconnect with the retinal blood supply, and extra must be taken there. More common side effects of dermal filler injections include temporary swelling and bruising. Blindness is extremely uncommon....

Yesterday I bent over while dancing and dabbed forehead, did I mess up my Botox?

Dancing and Botox
Jan 18, 2017

It sounds like you had a great time. I wouldn't worry about this too much. There is a always a small risk that the Botox may migrate slightly, or that the eyelid may droop - whether you exert yourself or not. I usually recommend returning to regular activities the day after a Botox injection. If you feel like the treatment was affected, be sure to check in with your Doctor, and have a great day.
