Is It For You?

 

The Botox® Cosmetic Procedure  

BOTOX® Cosmetic  injections are performed without anesthesia because it is virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects. Research has suggested, however, that long term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment's effect. Patients over the age of 65 may not experience as dramatic of results. BOTOX® Cosmetic is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair sagging skin caused by aging.

Before Surgery 

To better understand your overall health, we will evaluate your medical history prior to surgery. In addition, a complete examination of your eyes is made in order to decide the most effective injection sites. All issues and concerns will be discussed. 

The areas that will be treated are marked and digital photographs are taken in order to determine the amount of improvement after surgery. 

Post-Operative Information 

After the operation patients may experience slight bruising around the area that quickly fades. Normal activities can be performed immediately. Possible side effects are temporary weakness of nearby muscles or in rare cases an eyelid may droop. BOTOX® Cosmetic  is completely reversible so any side effect is only a temporary condition. The doctor will explain all risks associated at the time of your consultation.
