Scared of Botox For Forehead Lines- What Are The Risks?

Hi, I am 29 and I have horizontal forehead lines on my forehead that make me look older. I would love to have botox but im terrified of it. what are the chances of breathing probs or swallowing probs after having botox in the forehead?? If this were to happen when would it be apparent? would the risk be for the whole 4 months or so that botox works or for the first few day?? thanks

A: Botox, forehead and side effects

There is no need to worry about breathing or swallowing problems when injecting Botox in the forehead. There are a few reports of this when injecting platysmal bands in the neck and using large doses of Botox.  There is always a risk of bruising where the Botox is injected, and a small chance of a brow drop.  The bruising would last a few days, and the brow drop can be temporarily improved with an eye drop until it goes away on its own.  I would see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience injecting.  A lot of people have concerns at first, and almost all are back for a repeat injection when the Botox wears off.  I hope this helps.  Lana Long, M.D.

Which Do You Think is Better to Combat the Dreaded Frown Line...botox or Juvederm?

I am going to have either or done next week for my frown line between my eyes. I can't stand it! I had a conservative amount of Botox done for this last year and it worked fine, but I still was able to see a faint line still. Do you think that getting Juvederm this time around would be a better option, or should I just ask for more Botox?

A: Botox or Juvederm for galbellar creases

I would treat with the Botox since you had a good response last time.  Sometimes when the muscles are relaxed, the lines soften significantly, but a fine line is still present.  If this is bothersome to you a filler can then be placed.  I think this is the safest option and agree with Dr. Steinsapir that there is a small risk of emboliztion with filler in the glabellar area.    Lana Long, M.D.

Botox Has Worsened Already Paralyzed Frontalis Eyebrow Muscle, Can Anything Be Done?

Previous paralysis of one eyebrow 8 mo.after coronal brow lift, when doctor injected Botox above inner eyebrow.Site bled, was sore with lump,needle mark for 3 mo.before laser.Now 1 year after surgery, brow only moves at outer edge,no movement where Botox was.Tried rubbing Botox area,makes red spot,but less sore. Was Botox in"sack"under needle mark? Eyebrows1"difference,looks horrible-like stroke victim.Wish I never had ANYTHING done! Advising 2yr.wait is horrid.VERY discouraged!Any hope-Advice?

A: Botox , brow lift, brow asymmetry

Your case seems a bit complicated because it involves both surgery, Botox, and lasers..  Botox usually wears off in 3-4 months, so I would like to know when Botox injected.  A photo of your eyebrows at rest and raising them would also be helpful.  Hang in there, I really think the photos may help decide corrective measures.  Lana Long, M.D.
