Before And After Forehead Wrinkles & Frown Lines Case 45

ABOUT OUR PATIENT
This African American woman from the Bay Area felt that the deep horizontal "expression lines" in her forehead gave her an unattractive look. Unsure about a specific treatment plan, she contacted the offices of Dr. Mabrie and scheduled a consultation to discuss her options.

MFI TREATMENT PLAN
Unwanted lines and wrinkles that are caused by repeated facial movements are easily remedied with BOTOX® Cosmetic. This woman was a perfect candidate for the injectable treatment because she has good skin quality, and most of her facial lines were caused by facial movements rather than by sun damage or aging. In cases where these lines are very severe or the patient is showing a combination of movement and age-related wrinkles, a surgical approach may be more effective, but in cases like this one BOTOX generally yields very good results.

TREATMENT
This woman's horizontal forehead wrinkles were treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic, which Dr. Mabrie injects personally to ensure accurate results. She also wanted to lift her brows slightly, but not excessively.

THE OUTCOME
This woman was very satisfied after her treatment with Dr. Mabrie as her forehead is much smoother and clear of deep horizontal lines. BOTOX requires virtually no recovery time, can be administered in just a few minutes, and offers results that typically last about six months. The patient was pleased with her quick results and glad to see that while her eyebrows are now slightly elevated. The effect is subtle and compliments her expression nicely.
