Hi friends! I shared recently that I got botox and filler at my last appointment & received TONS of questions. Rounded up the FAQs below.
Q: Why do you get Botox?
A: Most people do not realize this but, botox can actually be used as a preventative — if you want to prevent the earliest fine lines from becoming full-blown wrinkles, preventative Botox. I’ve done Botox and Dysport and really like both. I can’t even tell a difference other than the results of Dysport appear a little quicker!
Q: What areas do you get Botox? How many units?
A: I got 29 units total. I go roughly every 3 months for touch ups:
Forehead – 7 units
Frown Lines – 12 units
Bunny Lines – 4 units
Around the eyes – 8 units
*I would highly recommend you do a consultation because everyone is unique and will require different amounts. It is not a one size fits all.*
Q: What kind of filler do you have and how much?
A: We used Restylane Kysse.
I got slightly less than 1 full syringe.
Q: Where did you go to get botox/filler?
A: Total Hair and Body Medical! This is where I go for my laser hair removal as well. If you mention my name you will receive 10% off any service! I HIGHLY recommend them if you are in the Knoxville area!
Q: Does botox/filler hurt?
A: Botox doesn’t hurt much at all, but filler does unfortunately. It can definitely dependent on the person! They used topically numbing cream for my filler which helps A LOT. Your lips are just SUCH sensitive area! It really was not too bad.
Q: Did I get lip filler or a lip flip?
A: I decided to get lip filler. Filler last about 6-8 months compared to a lip flip which only last about 6-8 weeks. Filler is injected into to the lips where as a lip flip is botox that is injected above the lip to relax the lip making it appear bigger.
XOXO,
