The Dish on Botox
March 5th, 2009 The Maas Clinic StaffJennifer Aniston’s recent comments as quoted in the San Francisco Daily Dish regarding Botox reflect both an infrequent side effect of Botox treatments — the feeling of heaviness in the forehead and the common misconception that Botox treated patients are easily identified. Unfortunately, far too many doctors, under the influence of early published articles and lectures, have used far too high of doses in the forehead region in particular, giving an unnatural flattened forehead and droopy eyebrows. Dr. Maas has written a number of papers on this topic and when Botox treatments are performed with prudence, skill and precision the effects on appearance are quite the opposite of Ms. Aniston’s experience. Much clinical and sociologic research has shown that softening the angry furrows between the eyebrows in particular, and lifting the eyebrow depressor muscles soften facial features removing tired, worried or angry expressions as well as aging changes. Ms. Aniston should make a quick trip to The Maas Clinic in San Francisco and see Dr. Corey S. Maas.
