There are many different ways of injecting Botox. You should see someone who is very experienced in its use. When treating the frown lines between the eyebrows, often referred to as the number “11” when they are present as two lines, one rarely sees droopy eyelids. This can happen when the forehead is treated at the same time and the muscle no longer keeps the eyebrows up and they fall. There is a standard area that experienced Botox injectors avoid over the eybrow so this doesn’t happen.
