Follow-up Botox treatment still not relaxing 11s, do I get another touch-up? (Photos)

E
ehsealeSep 26, 2017

I went to doc to get my 11s, forehead area, and crows feet relaxed with botox. I assumed this meant no movement. I understand there may be etched in wrinkles but I am still Abel to frown. I have been to derm for followup and they injected more. It's been a week and it's not much better. Should I request they touch up again? Is it standard practice to touch up until treatment has acheived desired look?

This occurance after Botox to the forehead would be very uncommon, and if it happens again it should be discussed thoroughly with your practioner. Especially if you've had this happen at any other times in your life, to make sure there isn't another underlying cause.Good luck,Dr. G

Thank you for your question.I would wait a full 2 weeks before doing anything else to the area. That will be enough time for any swelling to subside. At this point it is hard to tell if it is swelling or if too much product was injected. If the bumps are still there in a week, have your injector...
