What is the Average Cost of Botox?

10/06/2022 by DR. ANDREW JACONO

The cost of Botox injections can vary from state to state, but according to a survey from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) in 2019, the average cost was $10-$15 per unit, and any one cosmetic procedure may use 30 to 40 units of Botox. This means that the average price for Botox for a regular Botox treatment is somewhere between $300 and $600.

What Affects the Cost of Your Botox Treatment?

Because Botox is priced per unit, not per injection, the cost of a Botox treatment does not coincide directly with the number of shots you get. One injection may only have a small amount and one injection may have a larger amount. So whether a plastic surgery visit is 20 units or 40 units is up to the plastic surgeon.

Also, it matters where you get the procedure done. As mentioned above, the cost of Botox injections varies a lot by state. Here in New York City, the average Botox treatment can range anywhere from $245 to $1060. By comparison, a Botox treatment in Texas is more likely to be in the $230 to $555 range.

And why is there a difference in cost by region? It is dependent on state laws that regulate who can give the injections. Some states require that the Botox injections be delivered by a board-certified plastic surgeon (this includes New York). Other states, like Texas, have much looser guidelines as to who can inject you with Botox and this is the reason for the differential price.

Does Insurance Cover Botox?

Although there are some medical reasons that Botox injections are covered by insurance (for example, injections of Botox in the neck and head have been shown to help some migraine sufferers) Botox for cosmetic surgery is not covered under any major medical insurance program. This is the case with almost all cosmetic surgeries: they are not covered under health insurance as they are not seen as mandatory.

What Are the Average Costs of Botox Per Location?

We’ve already mentioned that Botox costs between $10-$15 per unit. The following are the number of units that are used in different facial muscles to provide the desired results.

  • Forehead: Botox in the forehead, where there are often a lot of large wrinkles, can be anywhere between 20 to 40 units. This includes the lines between the eyebrows above the nose. This means that, on average (and not counting for state and type of doctor), forehead Botox can be between $200 and $600.
  • Eyebrows: Botox is injected into the eyebrows to elevate the outer brow, and takes between 4 and 8 units, which equates to $40 to $130 per eyebrow.
  • Crow’s Feet: To remove crow’s feet, also known as lateral canthal lines, a plastic surgeon will use approximately 24 units, equalling between $240 to $360.
  • Nose: Some plastic surgeons will do what is called a “nose lift” on the tip of the nose. This uses 2 units, or between $20 to $30.

How Long Does Botox Work?

Botox doesn’t last forever, and the effects of a Botox treatment will wear off in 3-4 months. The good news is that the initial results are almost instantaneous: after getting the injections you will be experiencing the full effect of Botox very quickly, within one to two hours, and you will have the full results of it until it begins to fade at three months.

However, first-time results from Botox will last for a shorter amount of time than later treatments. So, a first-time treatment may only last three months but subsequent results may last four or more months. And there is some evidence to suggest that people who have regular Botox treatments will develop wrinkles more slowly than people who don’t use Botox.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
