Weird Eyebrow Arch After Botox

I had Botox injections for the 4 first time 7 days ago. The horizontal lines across my forehead are gone, there is still a vertical crease between my eyes. But my eyebrows have this arch now that they have never had, and it looks weird. I look harsh! When I try to wrinkle my forehead it is smooth everywhere except for the temple areas where it still creases and moves. Can I get rid of this arch? I hate it.

Arched Eyebrows After Botox

We agree with the panel members - this negative outcome is easily resolved by a very small dose of Botox strategically placed. We disagree that this represents a "lack of sophistication" as it may occur even with the best injectors. You should feel comfortable to return for a check up with your practitioner so that they may remedy the situation and retain their relationship with you. Regarding the vertical lines between the eyebrows - this is not an... more

Yes, see the doctor again for more Botox

It sounds like the doctor just treated your central forehead. Sometimes, treating only this area can cause the medial brow to droop, and the lateral brow to arch upwards. (I call it the Mr. Spock look.) I would suggest asking the doctor to inject the lateral forehead where you see movement, and that should even out you brow and improve your problem.

Arched eyebrows afte Botox

When the botox injections are limited to the central forehead, and the lateral portion of themsucle is not treated, you get this arch on the sides. This can be adjusted with some more botox.

The doctor has to understand the anatomy.

Hi! It's true that this can be improved with a little more Botox, but I personally would not return. The overall result you describe suggests a lack of sophistication. There is a bit of an art to using Botox, and it's worthwhile trying to find a good injector, even if it costs a little more. Go to a board certified plastic surgeon or to a board certified dermatologist who uses a lot of Botox. You can find doctors from the company (Allergan).

Fortunately, your issue has a simple solution. Just a few units of Botox above the eyebrows where you are able to create wrinkles in the forehead ought to take care of it. Good luck.

Botox...Why Do I Look Like Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Batman

Hi Trix, Return to your injecting physician. The evil arch of "The Joker", "Spock", and "Cruella" can be relaxed with a few properly placed units of Botox. Make sure that your undesired results are boldly noted in your chart so as to avoid repeating the "Beloushi" brow. Be well, and watch out for Batman until the eye brow relaxes. Dr. P

You can get rid of weird eyebrow arch from Botox

Facial expression is very complicated. In order for our faces to make the myriad of expressions we form, there is a complex system of fine muscles that contract to pull different parts of our faces in various directions. Botox works by temporarily weakening muscles. In that way facial expressions can be altered (for the better or the worse). There are various reasons why your brow may have formed an unnatural shape. When the forehead lines were treated, the muscles weakened were those... more
