If you've never done Botox or Filler before, then my standard recommendation is doing the treatments 2 weeks prior to a holiday.  Botox takes effect for most patients within a few days but may take upto 2 weeks for maximal results.  Filler is immediate, but sometimes swelling and bruising can occur which may last for a couple of days.  This being said, many patients will do Botox/Filler a couple of days prior to a trip and do just fine but the above advice is a more cautious approach.

Assuming you saw a qualified Botox injector and the proper number of units was used in the appropriate muscles, wait the full 2 weeks for the Botox to take full effect.  The 11 lines may still improve over the next few days as it was only 3 days ago you were treated.  If they are still deep after the Botox has taken full effect, filler may be another option you can discuss with your doctor on your follow-up appointment. 

I see lots of young women in my practice and deep frown lines (even in a 24 year old) are are a very common problem.  My recommendation is to give the botox the full 2 weeks before reassessing results.  If you are still able to frown a little at this point in time then would suggest increasing the dose of botox in the frown lines.  If you keep the botox treatments up over time the lines will likely improve as well (will depend upon how deep the lines originally are of course).  Filler would be an option after the botox has taken full effect if you still need some volume to to help soften the lines.  Make sure you follow up with your Dermatologist to further explore your options.
