Wrinkles in forehead after Botox brow lift.
When the muscles that depresst the lateral and midbrow are relaxed, it allows the forehead muscles to be more active, thus pulling the brow up. This often results in a pleating of the forehead muscles over the lateral brow. Often this can be corrected by injecting a very small amount of Botox into the area of pleating in order to relax that muscle just enough to eliminate the pleat.

Botox and forehead lines
I agree with the other answers about going back to your injecter and showing him or her the problem. Some furrowing laterally is often necessary to give you a brow lift. I will sometimes use a little more botox in that furrowed area a week or two after the initial injection, or try a dilute juvaderm filler if I am too worried about lowering the brow.

Lines above the eyebrows after Botox injection
LInes that appear above the eyebrows after Botox injections can be tricky. Treatment options involve careful use of Botox or other botulinum toxins (too high a dose will smooth the lines but cause the eyebrows to droop) or injection of a small amount of an HA filler such as Restylane, Juvederm, or Belotero into the lines.

Botox Browlift and Forehead Lines
This is a great question. There is a fine balance in the doses used for the Botox browlift and forehead lines. If you like the effect of the browlift laterally, but are having a little bit of extra wrinkling above this area, a very small dose (2 or 3 units) of botox to the lateral forehead can relax this muscle. A higher dose, however, may result in the brow falling, which is not desirable. I would contact your provider to inquire about this touch up treatment. In my practice, I do these...

Botox and lift
Sounds like you need to return to your provider and have them take a look. You may just need treatment in your forehead to help settle down those furrows.

Botox and forehead furrows
A tiny amount of Botox for your forehead may help. You should return to your doctor to see if he can adjust it to your liking.

Forehead furrows
The options for correcting your forehead furrows depend on the location of your furrows. If there are 1 or 2 horizontal furrows above your eyebrow, hyaluronic acid fillers can help soften these lines. If the horizontal furrows are on your upper forehead, a small amount of additional Botox in the frontalis forehead muscle can help soften (but not erase) these lines without dropping your eyebrow.

Brow Lift Via Botox Created Furrows in My Forehead But I Love the Results? What Can I Do
Unfortunately, the brow lift is created by inducing the forehead muscles to contract. See your injector and sometimes a happy medium can be achieved.

Botox browlift furrow
This is a common problem with some people that get botox. Nice thing after you have botox you learn what you like and don't like so much. When this occurs on clients I offer them 3 units 2/3's the way up on that lift-line in the lateral forehead. This gives you the ability to keep some of the desired lift that is sought, but softens the furrow greatly if not removed completely.

Furrows after Botox "brow lift"
I agree with Dr. Swengel. There is a fine line between getting the brows where they want to be and having or not having a little crease. Sometimes there might some trade off involved in trying to get rid of that line as brow might drop slightly. Everyone is a little different

Furrows after Botox
It is always best to post photos or be seen in persosn, but most likely the furrows you see are in areas that were not treated.

Furrows in my Brow
Treating the muscles that depress the brow areas (corrugators, obicularis oculi, and procerus) with Botox can lead to elevation of the brow. This can lead to increase furrows in the forehead. To improve the furrows, you could just wait to allow some of the Botox to wear off, or you could have a small amount injected into the brow elevator muscle (frontalis) to relax this muscle some. However, this could cause some drop in the brow position. You must decide which is...

Lateral furrows after Botox "browlift"
The furrows that you see along your lateral forehead are a result of continued muscle activity there. Treating those areas with Botox will smooth the furrows, but there is also a possibility your eyebrows will not look as lifted.

Botox furrows
The issue that you raise occurs when the muscles still have enough activity to contract. This arose because the amount of Botox injected was not enough for the muscle mass you have. To address this problem, I would administer more Botox to paralyze the muscles that are still active.

Brow lifted with botox however furrows present
Dear Ekinnard, I would suggest a further treatment of botox into other muscle anatomy of the forehead to relax the area the furrows are currently showing. With further botox this should smooth out these furrows for a smoother more natural look. Best regards, Michael v. Elam, M.D.

Brow lifted with Botox but left furrows in my forehead
One of two things: the furrows are there because you may have needed a bit more Botox in the treated areas, or you need to treat the forehead as well as the brows. Sometimes when people try to isolate and treat only specific portions or muscles, this happens. It's because some muscles can still move, and some cannot, so it makes it look a little wanky sometimes. A full treatment of the forehead, glabella, and eyebrows alleviates this problem because all muscles are affected.
