Q: My friend has a dropped upper eyelid after forehead Botox. Can she get laser to fix this?A: No. The Botox needs to wear off and it will in three to four months. If the drop is significant, a physician might prescribe some eyedrops that can help lift, a little, the upper eyelid.
Q: Do I have to make facial faces to make my Botox work?
A: Probably not, but many physicians recommend that you do work the muscles that were injected to help get the Botox into the neuromuscular junction. It's a non-proven theory.
Q: Can I have Botox right after my facial?
A: Yes, preferably by a physician.
Q: If I bruise after Botox will it be permanent?
A: By definition bruises on the face are temporary as they are processed by the body's healing powers and the iron from the red blood cells is redistributed. Warm compresses done at least two days after the procedure, can help make the bruise go away sooner. Pulsed dye laser, such as the V-beam, can help the bruise go away quicker as well. Make up may be applied within a few hours after the procedure, and the correct cover up may help mask the coloration well.
Q: Is botox or Restylane better for crow's feet?

Q: Does Botox cost the same for different regions on the face?
A: No, Botox is an expensive liquid and depending on the number of units used, the cost can be different from one region to another.
Q: Can Botox lift my very sagging upper eyelids?
A: Probably not. When the upper eyelids start to fall, Botox when injected in the glabella, can lift the upper eyelids by one or two millimeters. This often is not enough to produce a significant result when the eyelids become very droopy.
Q: Can I have Botox treatment for my migraines?
A: Yes, but make sure you see someone very skilled at this technique. It does not work for all patients but can help extremely well in some, especially those whose triggers are identified. See an experienced neurologist first for evaluation.
