(botox below the brow - depressor supercilii and on the upper nose) I got the vertical line/frown sorted with botox (corrugators, glabella, procerus) after a stressful year abroad where I aged about 5 years. However, it still feels like my face is scrunching up a lot of the time. I wake up like this first thing in the morning. This is an awful look. I want to feel like it did before - waking up feeling fresh, eyes rested, relaxed, happy, w/out these muscles scrunching up my face. I've seen similar before/after for girl's bunnylines Is this possible for guy,27?

Answer: Can I get botox to stop me being able to scrunch up my face?
Treating the forehead completely will relax the muscles, allowing the forehead to be less "tense" therefore slightly elongated. If botox is put too low or too deep in the lower Crow's feet the muscle affecting your smile can be relaxed, so your smile can be dimished. These effects will go away...
I would not think that wearing eyelid tape for a months or so would cause any increased laxity or hooding of your eyelid down the road. Once the Botox wears off, everything should return to how it was before the treatment.
Red eyes are not a typical side effect of Botox. Is it general redness around the eye, or actual redness of the eye? I would suggest seeing an Ophthalmologist and consulting with you plastic surgeon who performed the injections.
