Case Details
This botox before and after Sandy UT case shows a full upper face treatment of 74 units of Botox. The photos are shown from the front, with a forehead raise, with a full expression, and from the right profile, so you can see how movement changes across the upper face. Injections were performed by Cassie, NP, at Nervana Medical. Individual results vary.
Botox Before and After Sandy UT: 74 Units, Full Upper Face
In this case, 74 units of Botox were used to soften dynamic wrinkles across the whole upper face. Dynamic wrinkles are the lines that form when you raise your brows, squint, or scowl. Comparing the before and after photos in each angle makes it easier to see how the muscles that create those lines relax while the face still looks natural and expressive.
How Botox Works
Botox is a purified neuromodulator that temporarily reduces the signal between a nerve and the muscle it controls. When a small amount is placed in a targeted muscle, that muscle contracts less forcefully. The skin above it moves less, so the lines created by repeated movement soften and, over time, new lines are less likely to deepen. It does not change the shape of the face or fill volume. It simply quiets the muscle activity behind expression lines. You can read more about the product on the official Botox Cosmetic website.
Areas Treated in This Case
This patient was treated across the upper face, using 74 units in total. Each area was chosen to match how the patient’s muscles move:
- Frontalis (forehead): the muscle that lifts the brows and creates horizontal forehead lines.
- Orbicularis oculi (crow’s feet): the muscle around the eye that causes lines at the outer corners when you smile or squint.
- LSAN and nasalis (bunny lines): the small muscles that wrinkle the sides of the nose when you scrunch.
- Glabella and procerus (the 11s or scowl lines): the muscles between the brows that pull them together and down.
The forehead raise and full expression photos are useful because they show these muscles working. Comparing them before and after shows how much movement-related creasing has softened in each zone.
What to Expect After Botox
Botox does not work instantly. Results typically develop gradually over about 2 weeks, with the full effect settling in by then. Most people see results last about 3 to 4 months before movement slowly returns and a repeat visit is considered. Mild redness or small bumps at the injection sites are common and usually fade quickly. Your provider will review aftercare with you, and any questions about downtime or activity can be covered at your visit.
Why Botox Dosing Varies by Person
There is no single right number of units. The 74 units in this case were matched to this patient’s anatomy and goals, and your plan may be higher or lower. Muscle strength, brow position, skin thickness, how much movement you naturally have, and how natural you want the result to look all affect dosing. Someone with strong forehead muscles may need more in that area, while someone who wants to keep more expression may need less. A personalized assessment is the best way to decide where and how much to treat, and results vary from person to person.
