Just Got Botox in Jawline and Forehead a Week Ago but my Forehead Looks the Same?

My jaw looks smaller already, I'm aware it will take time to see the full result for it but I feel like my forehead erinkled arnt better... I was told in a week I'd see results. Also I can move my eyebrows which I don't want. I want my forehead super smooth and wrinkle free. What should I do should I get more Botox injected in my forehead?

Forehead botox can be too smooth

First, it is important to be patient and wait for at least two weeks for the Botox to obtain peak effect before you add what might be too much Botox. Secondly, depending on the amount of sagging that your forehead has already done because of your age (not the prior botox), it is possible that if you iron out all the forehead wrinkles, your forehead muscle will be so relaxed that the forehead will droop significantly bringing down with it, the upper eyelids and eyebrows.This might trouble... more

Botox and forehead lines

Wait for ten days to see the full effect of your Botox treatment. If you still have too much forehead movement, return to your physician for assessment and possibly more Botox.

Botox for the Forehead

What To Do About a Less Than Perfect Botox Result

When injecting someone for the first time, it is often difficult to get the exact result that the patient wants. Everyone's anatomy (where the muscles are, how strong they are, how much Botox you need to get the desired effect) is a bit different. The great thing about Botox (as well as Dysport and Xeomin) however, is that if the result in 7-10 days is not just what you want, we can "fine tune" the result very easily. Sometimes it is done by injecting a bit more into the same areas as before... more

Still have movement in forehead after Botox

I do my injection technique so that the forehead is smoothed and free of lines, but patients can still move their eyebrows. Otherwise you get a very plasticy looking result, rather than something that looks natural. If you don't like the result (I tell patients to wait 10 days for full effects to take place in all muscles), then you may need a bit more added. But wait the full 10 days before deciding. And then if you need more, visit your injector for an evaluation.
