I’m a 38-year-old female and I’ve only just started getting

October 20, 2010 by Dr. Schoenfeld

Question:
I’m a 38-year-old female and I’ve only just started getting Botox injections. It has worked great for fixing the lines on my forehead, but I’ve noticed that it only seems to work for about two months. I was told that it would last more like three to four months. It’s getting too expensive. Why could my Botox treatments be lasting only two months?

Answer:
Your question with regards to the longevity of Botox is a good one. Two months is certainly a short period of time for the Botox to be lasting. I wonder if the concentration of Botox that you are receiving is sufficient. Injectors dilute the Botox but you should ask your injector how many units of Botox they are injection for each treatment. I generally inject about 20-25 units of Botox for glabella lines, 10-12 units of Botox for forehead lines, and 20-22 units of Botox for crows feet. My treatments last approximately four months. Botox does loose its effect over time, but two months seems too short if you have initially responded to your Botox treatments fully.

Dr. Schoenfeld fixed my broken nose last St. Patty's Day and I couldn't be happier with the results. I fell on my nose multiple times as a kid and officially broke it 3 years ago, so let's just say my nose was pretty messed up and useless. I finally decided it was time to get it fixed at the beginning of 2017. Dr. Schoenfeld has a great bedside manner, is honest about expectations, and exudes a confidence that immediately made me trust him as a surgeon. The surgical team at River Road Surgery Center was also excellent. They answered all of my questions, made me feel at ease, and pumped me…

5 stars

Thanks again for the most excellent work you did on my nose -- I am just thrilled (yet still recovering.) It has made a world of difference to my breathing and I couldn't be happier with the work you did! I've almost got my smile back. Best wishes -- and thanks so much again to you (and Dawn, too). Sincerely,

5 stars

Thank you so much for not only beautifully repairing my nose, but for rearranging your schedule and going out of your way to help me in my time of need. Your friendly and distinctive assistance is appreciated more than you know. Thank you,
