Hi. I received 16 units of Botox to my forehead and no where else 2 weeks ago (by board certified derm). I now look bad, my inner brow region and between nose is heavy and prominent and has pulled my inner eyebrows down so I look caveman like and very odd. My arch is a bit too exagerated and lateral brow is up too high. Will getting injections in my glabella region help me look more normal?
Answer: Dropped central brow after botox Knowledge of facial anatomy will play a role in your botox results being effective, placement in the wrong muscle can cause central drop. Medial brow ptosis or descent of the central brow can occur for several reasons: -Botox placed too low within the frontalis muscle along the forehead including central forehead. The frontalis muscle elevates the forehead and by decreasing activity here the central brow can drop -Botox placed too superficially along the corrugator. The botox will again impact the frontalis muscle and paradoxically lower the central brow. Botox is best injected by an experienced injector to lessen wrinkles while improving facial appearance.

Glabellar injections to lift the medial brow may be what is needed, but injection to lateral forehead may give more balance as well.

Answer: Botox to help lift the forehead with or without Ultherapy
If someone's brow is depressed after Botox on the forehead, Botox injected in the glabellar region of the lower forehead may help lift the eyebrows and the sagging mid skin. Some patients also benefit from the lifting that Ultherapy can induce and as we age, there is a greater tendency for the forehead to droop. This diminishes the ability of the doctor to treat the horizontal lines of the forehead without making it sag more. The Ultherapy, by helping lift the forehead, might allow the doctor to continue injecting the forehead without sagging. The result of Ultherapy does not become apparent immediately and it can take six or more months to be seen.

Answer: Facial Muscle Rebalancing Will Help After Botox Thank you for your question. The balanced interaction between the facial muscles is critical to a natural result after botox injection. Injection to your forehead muscles in isolation is the cause of your findings of a heavy medial brow and peaked lateral brow. Treatment of the glabella, lateral canthus and perhaps lateral frontalis at specific doses should help put things back in balance. Seek out a very experienced injector for this type of revisionary treatment as this finding is technique related, not product related. Good luck.
