Q&A: How old do you have to be to get botox injections or plastic surgery on your armpits?

Question by Princess Ticklepowder: How old do you have to be to get botox injections or plastic surgery on your armpits?
I’m 16 (17 in september), andI have a serious issue with underarm sweat. My doctor gave me some liquid stuff called HYPERCARE that i’m supposed to use every morning and night, but i’m not supposed to use it after shaving. But I have to shave almost everyday, so the medicine isn’t very convenient for me.

So i was wondering how old you have to be to have the situation dealt with by using botox or plastic surgery, because its REALLY embarrassing, and i don’t want to deal with it anymore.

The company which makes Botox suggests that no one under the age of 18 use their product for that use so some physicians may not want to administer it to you. However, there are several indications where BOTOX can be given to children >16 years old so it may be possible. Check with your doctor or a doctor who specializes in that type of procedure.

Go to botoxcosmetic.com which is the companies own website and they have a list of doctors across the country who are certified to handle your situation. Good Luck

    I’m sure that if a dermatologist recommends it that you can have it done. I am really thinking about this also because it’s such a hassle and not to mention really embarrassing if you get really bad pit stains.

    hope it works out for you.
