My friend in the MidWest said that her physician charges much less for Botox. Should I change physicians in NYC if mine charges more than hers?
Two important considerations are the expertise of the physician, their artistic sense and scientific knowledge, along with the product being used. There had been unfortunate incidents in the past when physicians were solicited by companies distributing non-FDA approved Botox and severe health complications including fatalities had occurred. If you do switch, ask to see the Botox vial and make sure it's from Allergan, U.S. if you're being treated in the United States.
Is there any reason why I can't have Botox in NYC, done year after year?
No. Many patients have had it done regularly for almost two decades with a very high safety margin.
I live in NYC and see a dermatologist. Can Botox produce unwanted side effects?
Absolutely. Nothing is without risk, but when done by an experienced physician, using an FDA approved, Allergan manufactured Botox, or Medicis manufactured Dysport, or the new Xeomin, side effects are very rare. Bruising and slight soreness can occur but are temporary. Drooping of the forehead or upper eyelids and other areas can occur but are temporary, and occur far less with experienced physicians. There can be other side effects which you should discuss with your physician prior to undergoing the treatment if you have concerns.
I have always had a crooked smile. Can this be fixed with Botox in NYC?
It is possible that you might be a candidate for Botox injections of the smile muscles but you need an experienced injector who understands the anatomy of the mouth muscles. Sometimes the Botox is injected into the muscle that work correctly on the other side from the muscle that is inactive. Purposely then, the good muscle is treated to relax to mimic the lack of movement on the other side. You would then have to be prepared to have a smaller opening of the mouth with smiling. It might affect important functions of oration so people involved with public speaking or singing or who play a wind instrument are not be the best candidates.
I have many skin allergies.I live in NYC. Is it risky to have Botox injections?
Allergic reactions to Botox are extremely rare. Mention ALL your allergies to your doctor before you have the Botox.
