The safety and effectiveness for use in the lips has not been established. There have been published reports of nodules associated with the use of these products injected into the lips.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use Botox only for the indication prescribed.
Allow the area to dry, then lightly sprinkle the area with starch powder. Gently blow off any excess starch powder. The hyperhidrotic area will develop a deep blue-black color over approximately 10 minutes. Each injection sitio has a ring of effect of up to approximately 2 cm in diameter. To minimize the area of no effect, the injection sites should be evenly spaced as shown in Figure seis.
Getting "too much" Botox often means exceeding the amount needed for this subtle result, leading to undesirable cosmetic outcomes or potentially increasing side effect risks. It is important to be treated by a qualified, experienced medical professional (like a board-certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or properly trained nurse practitioner/physician assistant under supervision) who understands anatomy and appropriate dosing.
Avoiding injection near the levator palpebrae superioris may reduce the complication of ptosis. Avoiding medial lower lid injections, and thereby reducing diffusion into the inferior oblique, may reduce the complication of diplopia. Ecchymosis occurs easily in the soft eyelid tissues. This can be prevented by applying pressure at the injection site immediately after the injection.
This is because each manufacturer uses assay methods specific to their company, so even though dosages may be quoted in similar-sounding units, potency can vary several-fold between the different products. Care needs to be taken that the correct dosage stated is used for that particular product and the approved indications for the different products also vary.
After the injections are given, the saline used for bladder wall visualization should be drained. The patient should be observed for at least 30 minutes post-injection.
Injection without surgical exposure or electromyographic guidance should not be attempted. Physicians should be familiar with electromyographic technique.
The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, and particularly in those patients who have an underlying condition that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses and in approved indications, symptoms consistent with spread of toxin effect have been reported at doses comparable to or lower than doses used to treat cervical dystonia and spasticity. Patients or caregivers should be advised to seek immediate medical care if swallowing, speech or respiratory disorders occur.
The effects of Botox aren't permanent because the nerve endings that were blocked by Botox gradually regenerate and repair themselves. You won't wake up one day with the effect completely gone; rather, you'll notice a gradual return of muscle movement over several weeks.
Use of BOTOX for the treatment of overactive bladder in such patients and in patients with multiple recurrent UTIs during treatment should only be considered when the benefit is likely to outweigh the potential risk. 5.13 Urinary Retention in Adults Treated for Bladder Dysfunction
Reconstituted BOTOX is injected into the detrusor muscle via a flexible or rigid cystoscope, avoiding the trigone. The bladder should be instilled with enough saline to achieve adequate visualization for the injections, but over-distension should be avoided.
