BEST CANDIDATE
DR. FREDRIC BRANDT
"Somebody can be 25 and have a lot of wrinkles from the sun, or be 40 with none — what matters is if there are lines. Botox is best for horizontal forehead lines, frown lines, crow's-feet, and the neck."
DR. NICHOLAS V. PERRICONE
"I always try to talk patients out of Botox. It's just my belief that the best thing for them is to go the natural route to try and get their facial contours back: good diet, nutritional supplements, good topicals — all those strategies work."
BOTOX GONE BAD
DR. FREDRIC BRANDT
"It matters how and where, precisely, you inject it." Depending on the administering doctor's skill, you'll see the occasional "Dr. Spock" eyebrows — and in the worst cases, crooked mouths or droopy brows with heavy eyelids.
DR. NICHOLAS V. PERRICONE
"Someone who's been on Botox for a while is going to look like a wrinkle-free older person" — i.e., they're expressionless, and their facial features are flattened.
