W
hen there are disfiguring facial lesions, the overall emotional well-being of an individual can be significantly affected,
contributing to a decrease in social functioning, productivity at work or school and lowered self-esteem. We to assess
the level of self-esteem and degree of satisfaction in patients who went through cosmetic procedure using self-answered
questionnaire. One thousand volunteers were included in this study. They were of both sexes, aged from 20 -70 years. All
participants should have had a past experience of at least one cosmetic procedure. * Results: Most volunteers supported the
cosmetic procedures. Some of them were supportive due to improvement of the quality of life, others were interested by
self- assurance which led them to be bolder and handle with others and have happier marital life. Aesthetic procedures
improve the quality of life and self-esteem of most of the volunteers. A respectable number of the populations are seeking
for cosmetic procedures; hence dermatologists have to have more information about cosmetic procedures, their proper
application, indications, contraindications and side effects. Looking for cheaper, less painful and more prolonged effect of
cosmetic procedures is required. On the other hand, Botox was the most frequent procedure done by Saudi volunteers as the
largest category of them was at the age range of 40-50 years where nearly all of them have dynamic wrinkles and at the same
time can afford the expenses of Botox. Botulinum toxin-upper face is used mostly in (Glabella wrinkles, Lateral canthal lines,
Forehead lines, and Upper nasal bunny lines). We will discuss botulinum toxin types, diluation, injecting techniques, tricks,
recommendation, contraindications and disadvantages.
