Botox Treatment



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am thinking of Botox treatment being in my 50s. I have talked to few doctors like. Francis form Francis NY Plastic Surgery but want some personal suggestion if anyone has??

Dr has explained me everything very well but a bit confused. How much time it takes to recover, and one more thing anyone has experience with Dr. Francis?

I get Botox a couple times a year and love it. It feels like a sweat bee sting. Just kind of a like annoying poke. No pain really. You have red spots for a few hours and that's pretty much it. The total effect take a about a week. Besides its amazing work on wrinkles it will pretty much resolve any Migraine issues too.

I get Botox apparently. Like Knitchik said, you get little red injection site bumps for a few hours and it feels like a bee sting. You have to keep your head upright though so the botox doesn't move for a few hours, but otherwise it's great. It got rid of my forehead wrinkles and it serves as a preventative.

Thank you for posting this thread. I have not had Botox but I'm planning to get it soon and I'm excited for it. It was one of my weight loss rewards. I'm looking forward to getting rid of the eye wrinkles. It's nice to read others describe what it feels like and how long until you see results.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
