BOTOX SANS BOUNDARIES
Dr. Raskin is a frequent lecturer and advocate of embracing Botox for a variety of anti-aging “fixes” on all areas of the face. Brows, lids, lips, chin, nose and jaw all benefit from Botox, used off-label, beyond its intended use of softening furrows between the brows. “In particular, I use it at the edge of brows and just underneath the lower eyelashes, creating brow elevation and a wide-eyed, bright and youthful look. Likewise, Botox placed underneath the mid lower lip can simulate a pout. Used adjacent to the chin, it also relaxes the muscles that pull down the corners of the mouth so corners rise a bit, creating a more pleasant rested expression. Nasal flare, ‘bunny lines’ and a sagging nose tip can all be resolved simply with Botox, as well. Finally, when we inject along the jawline and slightly into the neck, I feel that the jowls smooth out and the jaw appears lifted and more defined.”
