Botox relaxes muscles to prevent dynamic wrinkles (lines that appear when you move your face). Filler physically fills in static wrinkles (lines visible at rest) and adds volume. Most patients over 35 benefit from both — Botox for the forehead and crow's feet, filler for cheeks, lips, and smile lines. A combined treatment typically costs $1,000-$2,000 and delivers better results than either alone. Your injector should recommend based on your specific concerns, not push one over the other.
Common side effects (swelling, bruising) are normal and resolve in 3-7 days. Serious complications are rare but include vascular occlusion (filler blocking a blood vessel) which can cause tissue death or vision problems. This is why choosing a board-certified injector with anatomy expertise is critical — the cheapest provider is rarely the safest. HA fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. Non-HA fillers (Sculptra, Radiesse) cannot be dissolved and must be waited out. Always verify your injector's credentials and ask how they handle complications before treatment.
