My Forehead Felt Too Tight and my Eyebrows Became Pointy After Botox, Why?

July 25, 2010
Asked By:Christine1983 in Los Angeles

I'm 27 yrs-old. I enjoy Botox benefits: reduced headaches, smooth skin & pores seem smaller. BUT after 3rd procedure (over a course of ~2 yr.'s), the results were not as natural appearing. My forehead felt too tight & eyebrows took on slightly inverted "V" shape. After ~1 month, it settled down & I felt "Unfrozen." I don't like the feeling of not being able to move my 4head w/out a strained, tight feel. Q: Too much injected, need a more diluted solution, injected @ overly sensitive sights?
