The “spock” look is usually a result of the doctor not treating enough of the area laterally
The “spock” look is usually a result of the doctor not treating enough of the area laterally. By relaxing the lateral muscle you can often drop the lateral brow so it doesn’t look “spock” like. This can be done easily as a touch up.

Botox is used to correct the "Spock" look
If the outer eyebrow is raised the doctor can just inject a couple of units ab out an inch over the outer eyebrow to lower the resting tone of this part of the forehead muscle.

Correction of "Spock" Look after Botox
After Botox around the eyebrows and forehead, some patients develop a "Spock" look, with a raised outer eyebrow. This can be corrected with a touch-up with a little more Botox to the upper, outer forehead. It prevents the outer forehead muscle lifting up the brow and improves the "Spock" look.

An easy fix
Your board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who performed the Botox will evaluate your brow position and watch as you move them up and down and know just where to place a small amount of Botox to correct this problem. The right spot varies from patient to patient, but it is generally into the lateral and upper forehead.

Using Botulinum toxin (Dysport or Botox) to treat Spock like appearance.
This is commonly due to the avoidance of botulinum toxin in the outer forehead in order to minimize sagging of the brow. Injection of Botox in this area quickly corrects the appearance.

Correcting the "Spock" Look After Botox
Hi,
The "Spock" look is easily corrected by having a few Cleons attack the lateral brow. Just kidding, one cannot depend on those fickle Cleons. A few units of Botox or Dysport above the lateral brow will usually take care of the Spock, Joker, Cruella Deville, and Diablo Botox brow.

A very small drop of Botox carefully placed above the arch on the forehead can correct "spock" look
The "spock" look happens when the opposing muscles that pull the brow down and up fall out of balance. This usually happens when Botox is placed at the tail end of the eyebrow but not in the area of the forehead above it. Make sure you wait 3 weeks to realize the full effect of treatment since some areas respond faster than others. If the problem remains, your practitioner can very carefully inject a very small amount of Botox into the forehead above the "spock"...

"Spock" look after Botox is easy to correct
Occasionally, patients who are treated with Botox can have too much movement to the sides of the eyebrow, producing a quizzical of "Spock" like appearance. This is easily corrected with a small touch up to the muscles that are too active. You should let your physician know that this is an issue so a touch up can be performed and so, when treated in the future, the injection pattern can be altered to prevent this from happening.

Treating Spocked Eyebrow with Botox
A Spock look after Botox injection is due to the fact that the muscles in the center of your forehead are very relaxed and your forehead muscles closer to the sides are still working. In other words the outside portion of the brow is being elevated and the middle portion is not.
Once this happens there are two choices for treatment:
1. Wait for the Botox to wear off
2. Treat the muscles that are pulling on the outside portion of your eyebrow. That will...
