I have vertical lines in my forehead above my nose.

June 17, 2010 by Dr. Schoenfeld

Question.
I have vertical lines in my forehead above my nose. I would like to get Botox injections to smooth these out. Are the effects seen right away? Can Botox be used on other parts of the face as well?

Answer
The vertical lines above your eyes are one of the most popular areas for which people elect to have Botox treatments. Botox is used in small amounts to prevent the muscles in your forehead above your nose from contracting and causing the wrinkles that you are so concerned with. Using Botox in this area before the lines have formed will also prevent the lines from forming even as you age. I have previously answered questions with regards to the use of Botox in other areas. Botox is used in numerous areas of the face to prevent facial wrinkling. A good injector will decrease the mobility of the facial muscles just enough to decrease the facial wrinkling, but allow your face to still animate and not give your face a frozen look.

After the first few minutes with Dr. Schoenfeld, it became very apparent to me that he was the person I'd entrust with my operations. He is the consummate approach, level of expertise, and experience provided me a tremendous amount of comfort, I knew that my expectations would surely be met. As it turns out, I not only made the right choice, but Dr. Schoenfeld was able to surpass my expectations, everything turned as he said it would and even better than I had hoped, Dr.…

  • I went to Dr. Schoendfeld to have a Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty and I couldn't be happier. He called to check up on me multiple times after my surgery to make sure I was doing good and I love the appearance of my new nose. He was able to make it fit my face and make it look as natural as possible while still fixing everything I wanted to be corrected, I am also able to sleep so much better at night since I can breathe out of my nose with ease.

  • Dr Schoenfeld is a fantastic doctor. He is respectful and makes an effort to get to know his patients. He is experienced and quite good at what he does. I had seen him for several years for Botox and fillers and was always happy with the results—very natural and never overdone. I had some jowls and neck rings developing, and these were beyond anything that injectables or good skin care could fix. I knew I could trust Dr. Schoenfeld to fix these problems and to deliver an aesthetically pleasing and natural looking result.

    I am a busy person with a career and many other obligations, and I…
