Therefore, it is not recommended to treat a patient with myasthenia gravis with Botox around the eyes.Rate this question:

Correct Answer

A patient wanting additional treatment after getting treatment 2 weeks ago is not a red flag for a patient wanting an aesthetic treatment because it is common for patients to require multiple treatments for optimal results. It is possible that the initial treatment did not provide the desired outcome or that the patient wants to further enhance their appearance. As long as the patient is following the recommended timeframe between treatments and there are no other contraindications, it is not a cause for concern.Rate this question:

- A.
Bimatoprost
- B.
Hypromellose
- C.
Iopidine
- D.
Maxidex
Correct Answer
C. IopidineExplanation
Iopidine is the correct answer because it is a medication commonly used to treat Eyelid Ptosis after treatment with Botulinum Toxin. It works by stimulating the muscles in the eyelid to help lift it, thereby reducing the drooping caused by the Botulinum Toxin. Bimatoprost is a medication used to treat glaucoma and promote eyelash growth. Hypromellose is a lubricating eye drop used to relieve dry eyes. Maxidex is a steroid eye drop used to treat inflammation in the eye.Rate this question:

What would you NOT do if you believe the patient is suffering from a Vascular Occlusion?
- A.
Massage the area vigorously
- B.
Use an ice pack
- C.
Check capillary refill
- D.
Perform a Hyalase patch test
- E.
Use a warm towel
Correct Answer
B. Use an ice packExplanation
If a patient is believed to be suffering from a vascular occlusion, using an ice pack would not be recommended. Ice packs can constrict blood vessels and potentially worsen the occlusion, leading to further complications. Instead, it is important to promote blood flow to the affected area, so options like massaging the area vigorously, checking capillary refill, and using a warm towel would be more appropriate. Performing a Hyalase patch test is unrelated to the treatment of vascular occlusion and is therefore also not necessary in this situation.Rate this question:

What is the general longevity of temporary Dermal Fillers?
- A.
3-6 months

6-9 months
- C.
9-12 months
- D.

Temporary dermal fillers typically last between 6-9 months. This means that the effects of the filler, such as plumping and smoothing of the skin, will gradually diminish over this time period. Factors such as the specific type of filler used, the individual's metabolism, and the area of the face being treated can also influence the longevity of the filler. Regular touch-up treatments are often necessary to maintain the desired results.Rate this question:

The high risk treatment areas when using injectable Dermal Fillers include the cheeks, forehead, nasolabial folds, and tear troughs.
