01 / About this procedure

Botulinum Toxin

About the procedure

This page provides detailed, clear information about Botulinum Toxin. Before a plan is agreed, your needs, medical history and suitability are assessed individually.

Who may consider this procedure and what is its aim?

The lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes, which become evident with the movement of the facial muscles, are evaluated individually. Although different purposes such as masseter, gummy smile, lip flip, chin tip or sweating are evaluated under the same procedure name, the dose, anatomy and risk profile are different from each other.

The aim is not to make the face expressionless, but to temporarily reduce muscle activity in the areas agreed upon during the consultation. The extent of the result depends on the product used, dosage, muscle strength and the person's previous procedures.

During the consultation, your intended change, daily schedule and priorities are considered together, so possible benefits, timing and aftercare needs form a plan you can understand.

Results and timing

The effect is not completed on the same day; The first changes occur gradually and the follow-up timing is planned according to the product used and the region. It may be temporary that the two sides respond at different speeds in the early period.

Deep lines may not disappear completely at rest. Duration of effect varies with muscle strength, dose, site, and individual response; A specific number of months or perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed.

Assessment and decision criteria

During the examination, the face is examined separately while resting and while making facial expressions. Eyebrow position, lid support, muscle strength, natural differences between the two sides of the face, and the effect of previous injections are recorded.

Headache, muscle or nerve disease, droopy eyelids, difficulty swallowing, antibiotics used and medications affecting the risk of bleeding may change the decision process. If it is used for sweating or jaw clenching, the underlying cause is also evaluated.

Limitations and suitability

  • Botulinum toxin is not a volumizing filler; It may not eliminate deep static lines or volume loss on its own.

  • The effect is temporary and the duration of onset and duration varies from person to person. The follow-up timing is determined by the physician according to the period when the first effect can be evaluated.

  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, neuromuscular diseases, active infection, medications used and previous reactions should be evaluated.

Alternatives and combined procedure planning

Depending on the goal, monitoring, sun protection and medical skin care, chemical peeling, laser, filler or surgical options may be discussed. In case of complaints such as jaw clenching and excessive sweating, diagnostic evaluation by a dentist, neurologist or related branch may be required.

Information note

This content is provided for general information. It does not constitute a diagnosis, personalised medical advice or a guarantee of procedure results. Suitability, method, risks and the follow-up plan are determined through a face-to-face assessment by the relevant healthcare professional.

An informed decision

Bruising, pain, headache, temporary asymmetry and drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow may occur. Rare but serious widespread muscle weakness or problems with vision, swallowing or breathing require urgent assessment.

Who should perform the procedure?

Assessment, product selection, dosage and the injection plan must be undertaken by a qualified physician with a thorough knowledge of facial anatomy.

04 / Procedure questions

Procedure questions

Questions to ask during your consultation

  • Which areas are recommended for procedure and why?

  • What is the product to use and dosing schedule?

  • What approach will be taken to preserve facial expressions?

  • When will the follow-up review be carried out and under what conditions will additional procedure be evaluated?

Does botulinum toxin add volume to the face?

No. Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces muscle activity; It does not add volume to the tissue like filler.

Are the results seen immediately?

The effect usually develops gradually. The exact start and follow-up timing is explained by the physician according to the product used and the procedure plan.

Do facial expressions disappear completely?

The targeted movement level is related to the dose and points. You need to make your expectation of natural expression clear in the consultation.

When will it be held again?

A fixed calendar is not for everyone. The decrease in effect, examination findings and previous response are evaluated together.
