Eye Lifts and Botox

Botox is a drug made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum called botulinum toxin. It is used medically to treat certain muscular conditions & cosmetically remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles. Scientists have estimated that a single gram could kill as many as one million people and a couple of kilos could kill every human on earth. Botox injections are also used to treat such problems as repetitive neck spasms, excessive sweating , overactive bladder and some causes of crossed eyes. Botox injections may also help prevent chronic migraines in some people. Because, Botox is the first drug to utilize botulinum toxin.

Florida is a political nightmare. RN's inject morphine and chemo drugs. Botox and dermal fillers should be the Rn's duty. LPN inject botox in other states. It can't kill you like chemo can. Doctors are just greedy for the money. They should stick to surgery. Botox and filler injects is cosmetic. It is not medically necessary. Florida needs to get on board and quit changing the laws for convience of the doctor

You may get botox injections at the offices of dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and medical spas. Regardless of where you go, make sure the person who is administering the botox has been botox certified.

No, botox is not made from snake venom. There is new anti-aging/anti-wrinkle treatment involving the use of synthetic venom proteins that are copies of the neuro-toxic proteins found in snake venom. Rather than being injected, these venom proteins are put into a topical cream that is applied to the skin. Botox on the other hand is derived from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum which is the bacteria responsible for the foodborne illness known as botulism. Botox, also known as Botulinum toxin type A, is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacteria. Botox injections work by weakening or paralyzing certain muscles or by blocking certain nerves and are most commonly used to treat the following: * Temporary removal of facial wrinkles * Severe underarm sweating * Cervical dystonia - a neurological disorder that causes severe neck and shoulder muscle contractions * Blepharospasm - uncontrollable blinking * Strabismus - misaligned eyes

Botox helps lines and furrows...you may need to see a plastic surgeon about fixing eye bags.

With any medical procedure there are risks. You have to sign consent forms, and should really take the time to actually read those forms before signing. Botox is a toxin, and if not administered properly it could paralyze or even kill you. But, as long as you make sure that the person administering it is properly qualified [they absolutely need to have a medical degree (M.D.)], it is very safe.

Why shouldn't it? :)

Some people would need facial reconstruction, after an accident, for example.

Others, like myself, would need a part of the body repairing after a major operation. I have a tumour on my right hip and will need some form of plastic surgery to have it put right, afterwards.

It's not all nose and boob jobs!

What happens after receiving plastic surgery to the eyelids (blepharoplasty) is actually quite positive and noticeable. After receiving eyelid surgery the patient will notice not only a change in their appearance, but also clearer and more open vision. In the process of having eyelid surgery the surgeon removes portions of the eyelid. The result from this is having less of the puffy/heavy eyelids interfering with the patients line of sight. So, when this tissue is removed the patient will actually see more, which is amazing. Additionally, the patient will experience aesthetic benefits, which typically include the removal of baggy/droopy eyelids or those heavy black circles around the eye.

There is a lack of studies on the effects of Botox on pregnant women and their unborn children and accordingly it is impossible to say whether it is safe. For the sake of erring on the side of caution, Botox's manufacturers recommend that it is not used on either pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers.

Obviously this is a question all women should know the answer to! NO you do not know what the chemicals could do to your baby and the affects it will have on him or her . so don't even risk it!! BAD IDEA Ladies!

100 units of Botox = 4ml, therefore 25 units of Botox = 1ml and 5,000 units of Botox would equal 5,000/25 = 200ml of Botox

Botox is short for botulinum toxin, a poison created by a Clostridium botulinum, or the bacterium that causes botulism. It is the most toxic substance known to man. It is a protein, and thus made of the usual elements (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and additionally sulfur).

Each individual is different.

The more you have it the less you need,so the initial visits may be 6 months then it will stretch out to 9 months then 12 to 18 months

I am watching her right now. It doesn't look like an elective improvement.

I am not trying to be mean. Her nose is now crooked, kind of as if it had been broken and not fixed. Her jaw is at an odd angle when she talks - juts out to her right (our left).

I began noticing this a few weeks ago and have been trying to figure out if she had surgery gone bad or if she had been in an accident.

No, there is no venom in Botox. Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin, which is derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. While botulinum toxin is a potent neurotoxin, it is not considered venom in the traditional sense, as it is not injected by a bite or sting. Instead, it is used in small, controlled doses for medical and cosmetic purposes to temporarily paralyze muscles.

The cost depends on the facility and how many units are required for your face. I pay $9 per unit and when I have my "crow's feet" injected around my eyes, I only need 10 units, so I pay a total 0f $90 for that area.

No

I wish...

about 25 units usually

Botox is a waste of money since it's temporary. Facelifts almost never look natural (IMO) I would rather have a wrinkled but natural partner than one turned Chinese by surgery but any reputable plastic surgeon in your area can easily do it.

No, Botox has only been approved for removing wrinkles between the eyebrows, among a few other medical uses.

Did you know that Botox is the poison from the botulism bacteria?

I don't see why not... but it will not remove your fingerprints because these are caused by skin construction not muscle spasms. Only thing it can cause is loss of feeling and potentially some movement disorders. To get rid of fingerprints you will have to remove them by damaging dermis.
