Involuntary spasms after Botox?
I'm having involuntary brow spasms 6 weeks after Botox injections for the "11" lines between my eyebrows. The dr. injected 18 units in a triangular pattern from mid brow to just above the bridge of my nose.
The spasms happen on their own a couple of times a day and also if I press on my brow or lower forehead. The spasm makes my forehead pucker up in a way I never could have made before Botox. Sometimes it will just be on one half of my forehead, sometimes both. It is VERY strange looking! What is causing this?

A: Botox
Dear Taylor Made, the spasms are due to not enough botox being injected and this is easily treated with the addition of more botox to the muscles that are spasming. This can ocurr again if a smaller number of units is used for a subsequent treatment in a few months. With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD
