the problem I had with my forehead was def better in 3 months, a slight bulge of muscle above my eyebrow took 12 months to go. The problem with the forehead was that they used too much for the kind of muscles and structure of my forehead therefore it just collapsed and froze. For other people it would have been an average dose. 2 months of looking weird and one month of getting away with it. With eyes I have been told that no one should ever inject directly under the eye, only to the sides. Hope this helps
I had a very heavy brow after botox and spock eyebrows. I plucked off the eyebrows and drew them in. It lasted 6 weeks before there was good improvement and you could see the full extent of my eyelids and i felt confident again in public. I excercised a lot to speed up my metabolism which seemed to help. my eyes had always improved a lot by the evening as my muscles had struggled all day against the Botox paralysing effects. My provider only gave a low dose and was supposed to give me a top up. Certain people with strong horizontal forehead lines who raise their eyebrows a lot when they talk etc. are NOT suitable for Botox. You need to see someone who really studies your facial movements and anatomy very carefully. I can never use Botox for the horizontal lines in my forehead because I will always have the same bad results. Better to just get a new hairstyle to cover the area!
The wrinkles around my eyes responded perfectly with a low dose and the injection sites being underneath my eyes to the outer side, not directly underneath which is apparently a very risky technique. I am however a bit scared to do this area again. After 7 months the Botox results are still very slightly evident in my face and I think it is best not to even touch my face until everything is back to how it was before Botox.
Hope this helps anyone who is suffering from eyebrow ptosis and spock/Hollywood eyebrows!

Have you noticed any improvement now? I had the same happen, and was told exactly the same thing! It's been 3 weeks and I am very depressed. I have been told worst case it will be 10 to 12 weeks before my eyebrows go back to normal but am not sure whether to believe this. Would be very helpful to hear back from you.
