Botox
Overview
As well as eyelid surgery and forehead lifting (brow lift), botox
can be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the outside
of the eyes and between the eyebrows, crows feet and wrinkles of
the side of the nose sometimes associated with smiling by paralysing
certain muscles temporarily. Botox temporarily paralises the muscle
decreasing dynamic lines and used long term will minimise the production
of stationary lines.

Botox
Overview
Botox
may spread to
involve muscles of the face that were not intended to be the target,
which may result in drooping of the eyelid. This will generally
subside within two to three weeks.
What costs are involved?
Please contact Mr Banwell's office for a quote which also can
be arranged to be sent to you.
What happens prior to the procedure?
Cold packs are used to numb the area prior to the injection of
Botox and minimise superficial bruising following.
What happens after the procedure?
Result times vary from patient to patient and can sometimes
take up to five days for the paralysis of the muscles to occur
and for wrinkles to diminish. Any bruising can be helped with
cold packs for a period of 48 hours.
