CLAIM YOUR PROFILEHi there, sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I can have a guess as to the part of the treatment you were unhappy with, but I would be interested to see what exactly you were disappointed with. The good news is the frown (glabellar) area is very very easy to treat, so finding another practitioner should be easy to organise.

Hi there
Good question. Botox can have some really positive and sometimes negative effects on eye brows and can be a complicated process to understand. Essentially.......muscles in the forehead which cause the forehead lines are elevators or lifting muscles. The brow and frown area muscles are depressors (pulling down). If we manipulate these with botox we can change the brow shape. Most men have a flat brow and women arched (normally peaks at the second point along from the nose if the brow was divided into three. I often inject a few units in the optimum peak area and let the forehead muscles work without botox, unopposed which gives a nice lift. Also this is a treatment for an experienced practitioner as there is a risk of eyelid droop (ptosis) in this are too.

Hi, thanks for the photos to help. There are a few issues here. Firstly its important to find out what filler was used and approach the practitioner with your concerns.
Lumps are not uncommon but can be massaged out most of the time during, and in a short period after the injection. Sometimes this can be poor placement by practitioner, product used, and also lips can be loculated or walled off in sections so when you inject the product doesn't go exactly where planned.
I feel that there is too much product in there for a start, and I would encourage you to return to the practitioner to discuss your concerns. I would have hoped they would have settled a little by themselves as the fresh bruises indicate these pictures were taken very soon after the treatment?
Please check the qualifications of the practitioner, and as said before, product used.
