Doc say about 850 units of botox goes into NK every 12 weeks. She also sees filler (resytylane, etc) in the naso-labial lines - what they call the marionette lines. Also, see how she used to be very gummy below the upper lip which was very thin? She had filler put in the lips. The real secret to the lips in order to avoid the dreaded trout pout is the filler does not mostly go where the lips are totally on the out side and dry. It goes just inside towards the teeth at the place where dry meets wet. Then you get a wider lip, but one that does not stick out like a duck. No more Miss Gums. OK, I confess I had this done last time too. As you get older you lose the fat under the skin and your lips shrink. We were very conservative and it looks fantastic, but boy does it STING even after sitting with numbing cream for 25/30 minutes.
Don't worry, Scooter, I bet I will be there one day, too.
But 850 units that sounds quite like something. How much is one unit exactly?
Can you also explain your post, I mean, go a little into the details with all the vocabulary which I marked red?
Thank you in advance.
