Botox Injections - Experiencing Tightness in Forehead

Botulinum Toxin (Dysport and Botox) will relax forehead muscles and not cause them to feel tight. However, the muscle imbalance caused by weakening one set of muscles may be interpreted as tightness.

Hi,

It is not uncommon to have a sensation of tight muscles after the Botox. This is commonly attributed to the compensatory effect of the surrounding muscles. Do not worry, this will go away very soon and it is your body's mechanism of adjusting.

heaviness is often used to describe the unusual feeling of not being able to contract the muscles after the first treatment wtih botox or dysport.  Possibly that's what the tightness is. Your body may become adjusted to this quickly. Possibly, other muscles in the nearby area are devleoping a greater resting tone to compensate for those muscles that are not moving. See your doctor to evaluate your condition.
