I love dr chernoff which is why Im giving a 4 star, but watch the botox people fill your botox, I think someone filled the mixture wrong or something. Its not dr chernoffs fault, he is fantastic. How you know you’re getting good botox:
1) The only real way to prevent getting screwed is to be up front with your doctor. Tell him or her that you want to see exactly how much they are mixing. This might be somewhat of an uncomfortable conversation but if you want the real stuff, it is a conversation you are going to have. You can ask them when they mixed it. They will probably lie but ask anyway.

Over the years we’ve heard far too many people with concerns that they are getting diluted Botox. It could be the fact that it wears off too quick, or that they don’t “feel” the right results. Regardless of the reasons, we wanted to look into this ourselves to get some answers:

First off: How do doctors prepare Botox?

Botox gets shipped directly from Allergan (the company that makes Botox) in a dry powder. From there it is mixed with a saline solution inside a vial that usually measures out to about 100 units.
Now here is the kicker: the doctor has complete discretion on how much saline solution to mix with the Botox powder. The normal standard is about 3cc but it is really up to the preference of the doctor.
2) watch them draw the botox from the vial. Dont let them bring the syringe into the room already filled.
