Keep Your Chin Up: Botox® Does Not Have to Break Your Bank

More than a few jaws have dropped when first inquiring about the cost of cosmetic surgery. Sometimes the surprise is enough to make patients do an about-face and drop the plans that they had once hoped would correct a look they had grown tired of seeing in the mirror.

Here’s a word to the wise: don’t just accept the first price you hear at face value. Consider your options, then the consequences, both positive and negative, especially when considering Botox® injections.

By the Numbers

According to the latest national averages from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons:

• A single Botox injection by a board-certified surgeon will probably cost around $365
• Treatment of facial areas requiring multiple injections – around the eyes where crow’s feet tend to form – range from $270-$260
• Forehead averages around 300.00

Keeping in mind that men typically require a little bit more medication to relax their muscles as the muscles tend to be stronger hence the fee for treatment could be higher.

Based on the wide disparity among treatment costs, it’s easy to understand how a patient can have the shock of their life from the time they enter a surgeon’s office to once their procedure is completed.

Experience Counts

Higher prices can be a sign that the doctors are highly trained, experienced and up-to-date with multiple procedures. That can be important when a doctor evaluates personal factors and differentiates from one patient’s needs to another.

Over time, those facial expressions – your laugh, your frown, that look when in deep thought – can leave their marks on your face in the form of lines and wrinkles. Botox® injections can ease those lines in your face without making too much of a dent in your pockets.
