Eyelids are laying on my eyelashes after two different injections to fix major frowning. Should I go back for more?
I agree with Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD. I think the problem that many people have with forehead wrinkles is that they are compensating for eyelid ptosis (drooping). This is usually caused by detachment of the levator muscle from the upper eyelid.
If you then inject Botox in the forehead and paralyze the frontalis muscle, you will get rid of the wrinkles on the forehead, but you will no longer be able to lift your eyelids. You may be able to get rid of your forehead wrinkles by fixing your eyelid ptosis instead, so you wont have to compensate with you forehead muscles anymore.
I very rarely inject the forehead for this reason.
Good luck.
I am a caucasian male, age 47 with fair skin. I would like to have the eyebrow raised by Botox, (see photo) is this possible, ?, where would the injection be, would it give me a surprised look (I don't want that outcome). How many units ?. And how much of a lift could I realistically achieve ?
The way Botox works is to paralyze muscle. So if you paralyze the muscle that pulls the eyebrow down, it will rise.
This works most effectively at the medial part of the brow, where there is some muscle that pulls the brow down. The effect is usually subtle, but subtle changes in this area make a significant difference.
Good luck
I had Botox injections in my chin yesterday to smooth out the muscle (by a board certified cosmetic surgeon). Today, the muscle that was injected is swollen and lumpy - very elevated compared to the surrounding area. It is spongy to the touch and flattens out if I stretch the skin. It doesn't hurt at all. Is this a common side effect? Is it likely to resolve soon/completely? I've been taking ibuprofin and applying ice to the area to reduce swelling.
There is very little volume injected with Botox. Any swelling is most likely related to bleeding and will resolve with time. Ibuprofen may increase bleeding though. Botox for the chin is an unusual use of Botox. I too use botox in other than the standard areas, and it can be very useful.
