I rec'd Botox for my "11" lines and forehead about 2 months ago. I have been thrilled with the results however 3 days ago I started noticing tingling in the area followed by a strange spasm or contraction above my right eye and again 2 nights ago. The 2nd time my brow stayed raised for several minutes and gradually came down. What is happening?
