Q.
Hi there, I have recently had teosyal dermal filler between my eyebrows. As I had two lines I I directly between my eyes, I was initially going for Botox but after a consultation with my nurse she recommended filler a tue lines were quite deep. I had this done 3days ago and she is coming back in two weeks to top up, she only put a small amount to see how it takes then will add some more, she also said she would put some Botox there too. I have just read that it should be done the other way round. What should my next step be, just take some Botox and leave the additional top up of filler and just see how it looks??

Thank you very much for your question. You are right that we do normally recommend having Botox injections before fillers.

The reason is that the Botox weakens the line and therefore it becomes less deep. You therefore need less filler following the Botox.
It may be that your practitioner prefers a different method and I am sure that Botox works well.
I think it would be worthwhile discussing this fully with your practitioner and I wish you the best of luck.
