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!

I am now into my 6th week and have my eyelids back! Thank God my doctor only gave me a low dose. I will never have my forehead dome again though!
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.

Have you seen even a slight improvement? I had the injection on 31st Oct and it's now 18th Nov. I think it improved half a mm but that's it. I plucked off my eyebrows and have drawn them in at a better position. I am trying to cover up the loose skin above my eyelids by using a different eyeshadow technique. The loose skin is worse in the morning and not too bad in the evening. The consultant at the clinic said that because I had strong horizontal lines and was the sort of person who raised their eyebrows a lot when talking I wasn't that suitable for Botox. I wish the Dr at the same clinic had paid a bit more attention to this fact! He said it would hopefully be a lot better in 6 weeks as this is the first area to wear off and worst case 8 to 10 weeks don't know whether to believe him though.
