Botox in Dallas, TX
Expression lines often show up when you frown, raise your brows, or squint. Botox injections temporarily relax selected muscles, helping soften lines caused by repeated movement.
At Dallas Premier Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Deniz Basci and her team offer Botox to patients across Dallas and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area. A consultation helps you understand which treatment areas fit your goals.
What Is Botox?
Botox is a brand name for onabotulinumtoxinA, a neuromodulator that temporarily reduces nerve signals to selected muscles. As muscle activity eases, expression lines often soften. Botox does not restore lost facial volume or remove loose skin. For volume changes, dermal fillers may be more suitable.
What Areas Can Botox Treat?
Cosmetic Botox is used to temporarily improve lines associated with muscle movement. FDA-approved cosmetic areas for BOTOX Cosmetic in adults include:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes
- Platysma bands, or vertical bands in the neck
Some providers also use botulinum toxin off-label, meaning outside an FDA-approved indication, for a brow lift, lip flip, bunny lines, chin dimpling, or gummy smile. Our team can discuss which areas are available and whether treatment suits your goals.
Are You a Candidate for Botox?
Botox is often considered by adults who want to soften expression lines without surgery. Your treatment plan depends on how your facial muscles move and what you would like to change.
Share any neuromuscular conditions, allergies, or pregnancy or breastfeeding plans with our team. Tell us about recent botulinum toxin injections and medications as well. An infection near the injection site or a known allergy to botulinum toxin may make treatment inappropriate.
What to Expect During Botox Treatment
Before treatment, we review your medical history and look at how your facial muscles move. Together, we discuss whether Botox fits the change you want.
The injections go into selected muscles through a fine needle, so no surgical incisions are needed. Many visits are brief, though timing depends on the treatment areas.
Recovery and Aftercare
Small injection-site marks, tenderness, swelling, or bruising may occur. Follow our aftercare instructions, including guidance on pressure around injection sites and when to resume strenuous activity.
The muscle-relaxing effect often begins within several days and builds during the first week. Your response and the timing of visible changes vary.
Benefits of Botox
Botox offers temporary softening of expression lines without surgery. Treatment focuses on selected muscles, with the aim of softening specific lines while preserving natural expression. The amount of change varies by treatment area and individual response.
How Much Does Botox Cost?
Botox cost depends on the areas treated and the dose recommended for your goals. Our team can provide a current estimate once your treatment plan is set. We will review the proposed dose and total cost before treatment.
Why Choose Dallas Premier Plastic Surgery?
Dallas Premier Plastic Surgery is led by Dr. Deniz Basci, a board-certified plastic surgeon with advanced aesthetic training. She completed a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at UT Southwestern, where she served as administrative chief resident, followed by an additional year of aesthetic surgery fellowship training. Dr. Basci also teaches injectable safety and technique to physicians and other healthcare providers.
The practice offers nonsurgical treatments alongside facial plastic surgery and dermal fillers. During a Botox consultation, the team considers whether expression lines are driven by muscle movement or whether concerns such as volume loss or skin laxity play a larger role. This helps guide a discussion of Botox and other options available at the practice.
Botox FAQs
How long do Botox results last?
For frown lines, BOTOX Cosmetic results typically last about three to four months. Duration in other areas and for each patient varies.
How soon does Botox work?
The effect often begins within a few days and builds during the first week. Timing varies by treatment area and individual response.
What side effects can happen after Botox?
Temporary tenderness, swelling, bruising, or a headache may occur, and some patients experience eyelid or brow drooping. Toxin effects can rarely spread beyond the injection area; seek urgent medical care for difficulty swallowing or breathing.
Can you get Botox while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety of BOTOX Cosmetic during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been established. Tell our team about pregnancy or breastfeeding plans so you can discuss treatment timing.
How many units of Botox will I need?
The dose depends on the treatment area, muscle movement, and your goals. Our team will recommend a dose after evaluating you; units are specific to each botulinum toxin product.
