Who should I see for Botox injections to soften the appearance of trapezius muscles?

Doctor's Answers 1

Botox injections and their outcomes will depend on the injector's experience with that particular muscle group.

Injections into large muscle groups are typically done for functional issues, such as in cerebral palsy or for migraines, and are done by neurologists or paediatric orthopaedic surgeons.

Botox injections to the trapezius for aesthetic modification are typically done by doctors in the field of aesthetics, such as plastic surgeons, dermatologists, or those in aesthetic medical practice. Not everyone does it, however, so it's ultimately best to ask your doctor if they have experience with this indication.

How long should I wait after fillers before proceeding with Ultherapy or HIFU treatment?

Great question. The sequence of aesthetic treatments are important since multi-modality treatments are a norm these days. Because of HA filler injections used, I generally wait for 3-4 weeks later, before proceeding with HIFU treatment. Although there is no clinical studies, however this recommendation is backed by consensus from experienced doctors who are key opinion leaders in Aesthetic Medicine. My preference is to be safe and steady, to yield the best results for my patients and minimize any potential side effects/ complications. Hope this helps.

How can I rectify a ruined botox job at my under eye that has caused my skin to become loose?

Botulinum toxin is usually safe but only if its used in the right hands. Unfortunately I have seen also my share of other cases done in neighbouring countries.
