Botox: Q&A
Ask a Question
Do I Need a Top Up?
I had my usual botox dose for my forehead lines 2 weeks ago which was 4 injections, I have been having them for years with my doctor. This time it has worked well but one eyebrow is slightly higher than the other - not much but the whole treatment seems to have worked better on the left. He said I can come for a top up but would there not be a chance the uneveness could get worse?

Touch up following Botox treatment
It is possible to even out your eyebrows with a touch up, and this is sometimes necessary to get the desired result from a Botox treatment. I would recommend discussing all potential complications with your physician who is performing the injections. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Touch up after Botox
It does sound like another strategically placed injection could even out the asymmetry and improve the affects of the Botox. It is commonly done and is perfectly fine if done at least 2 weeks after the initial Botox injections to allow the full effect to kick in.

Botox forehead touchup
It is occasionally necessary to provide some touch up with Botox or Dysport to the forehead when there is an asymmetry in this region. I would return to the doctor who performed the procedure and I am sure that we will correct the issue without making it worse.

Fixing minor asymmetry with a Botox "touch up"
While there is certainly a chance that the asymmetry may be worse, it's much more likely that a touch up will improve the symmetry.

Botox touch up treatment
Even with experienced injectors, it is possible to get some slight asymmetry after a Botox treatment. An experienced injector should be able to improve the mild unevenness that you had after your forehead was treated. It definitely would be worthwhile to have the touch up done.

Botox and touch-up's
Assuming you mean "touch-up" I would follow up with the provider for better assessment and educate yourself on the effects and typical duration of Botox.

Be patient and return for eyebrow correction with Botox
As already recommended, wait 7-10 days and return for several units to be injected if there is residual asymmetry for eyebrow correction. it is very easy and should cost as little as 100 dollars.

Botox for eyebrow symmetry
You should return to your doctor for assessment and treatment. A small amount of Botox will help your forehead lines and make your eyebrows more symmetrical.

Botox top up
I generally advise waiting a full 2 weeks after a Botox or Filler treatment before considering a top up. That said, if one is developing what sounds like a bit of a spock brow, that sometimes shows earlier and can be easily treated by your physician with 1-2 units of Botox.

Lag in Botox response
As people get Botox again and again, sometimes certain muscles will take a bit longer to totally absorb all product. This is why we tell people a full onset will take place within 7-10 days. My own daughter will have one line across her forehead for exactly 10 days after injecting her, and then bam! it's gone on day 10. Every time. It's been like this for the 5 years I've injected her. So, each muscle and line will respond differently over time and that's why we tell people to wait. If it's...

Botox Asymmetry
If you have an asymmetry after Botox, a minor injection will likely help your problem. However, I usually recommend waiting at least a week after your initial injection to allow all of the Botox which was injected to take full effect. At that point, you can see your injector and have an injection done on the side with more movement/wrinkles and this should help even it out.
Good Luck.

Touch-up Botox
Sometimes Botox treatment requires an adjustment, and I usually wait two weeks after initial treatment to make sure there just was not a lag in response.
