Botox: Q&A
Ask a QuestionOne Brow Higher Than the Other After Botox
I had 40 units of botox injected into my forehead and crows feet (and I think she said she was raising brows too). I am 9 days out and one brow is noticeably higher than the other, with a dent above the brow. I noticed this days ago, but thought I'd give it time, but it's only gotten worse. I also have puffiness under my eyes and it appears my cheeks have fallen? What can I do??!!

Botox effects.
Your brow problem is a common one and very easy to eliminate with a small dose of Botox above the higher brow. The puffiness under your eye is a result of the weakening of the muscle sling by the Botox that has migrated below the pretarsal area of the eye muscle, this will require time to resolve itself. The fallen cheek you describe is caused by the Botox migrating down to weaken the cheek elevator muscles from the injection around your eyes. Again this problem will resolve with time...

Asymmetry after Botox injection
Asymmetry after Botox injections is often transient and is best approached by frequent muscle exercises and observation. In rare cases, there is a Botox antitoxin available.

Injecting Botox is an Art
It seems that a person can get Botox injections at every street corner and many would have you believe that it is a commodity purchase. Your experience, although unpleasant, underscores that there is more to it than following the diagram on the package insert. Shaping the appearance of the face is not just about knowing what will happen to the muscles that are treated but also what will happen to the ones which are not. The position of your different facial...

Botox Caused One Brow Higher Than the Other- You Need More Botox in High Brow
There are two ways to lower the One Higher Brow after Botox:
More Botox in the Forehead Muscle above the High Brow to relax and lower it
More Botox in the Upper Crow's Feet Muscle on the Low Brow Side to allow the Low Brow to elevate more.
Decide which look you prefer. Most Plastic Surgeons would suggest that you lower the Higher Brow by injecting Botox into the Frontalis Muscle above the Higher Brow.

Botox injections in the Forehead and around the eyes.
Brow asymmetry following Botox injections in the forehead is quite common. It can unmasked previously unnoticed asymmetry. It is very easy to fix, by adding few units of Botox ABOVE the peak that you are describing. It will bring down the brow few millimeters.
Swelling under eyes and cheek droop: it is most probably due to the placement of the Botox injections. If the Botox is placed too far down under the lower eyelid some of the muscles that lift your cheeks up when you...

Botox with overarched brow
I agree with Dr Aldea, and absolutely enjoyed reading his eloquent answer. To fix this would be easy- to inject more neurotoxin over the arched brow- however both brows will be frozen lower for the duration of the effect. If you feel this is necessary then visit your nearest physician injector to have it addressed

A Botox dose-adjustment may improve the appearance of your brow.
I read your concern, and I see your brow asymmetry in the photo you posted. This should be an easy fix for an experienced dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon. I would need to examine you to make specific recommendations: I would need to see if your left brow may be elevated, or if your right brow needs to be lowered. In either case, your appearance may be improved, so follow-up with your doctor. Or get a second opinion from a reputable dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon familliar...

One brow higher - return to your injector
This issue can be fixed by adding a small amount of botox just above the highest point of the higher brow.

Botox and uneven brows
Please return to your injector who can even out your eyebrows by placing a small amount of Botox above your right eyebrow and consider a bit on the left side as well to give you a more natural look. The puffiness under your eyes is cause by the placement, depth and amount of Botox used for your crow's feet. This effect will gradually wear off. Hopefully, you are being treated by an experienced plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
