Hi, After Having Botox in Forehead I Developed a Lump Above Eyebrow, I went back to injector who suggested having glabella area treated. Two days later my eyes are heavy, sunken and one of my eyebrows is arched higher than the other but the lump is away. I wish now I'd left lump to subside on it's own. Will I return back to normal soon? I don't look right and feel awful. Please help and advise me what to do. Thank you

Answer: Fine balance
Audreymay it seems as if the delicate balance between the muscles that elevate your eyebrows (frontalis) and the muscles that depress your brows has been disrupted and has caused the drooping of your eyelids and that heavy tired appearance that you are experiencing. The good news it is temporary and will go away as the Botox wears off. Although the actual procedure of injecting Botox is pretty straight forward the art of learning how to balance all the muscles that are responsible for the eyebrow function is experience driven and requires in depth knowledge of the anatomy of the facial muscles.
Regarding the "lump" that went away, it could have been swelling, small bleed or a small cyst.
Wish you better luck next time around!!!

Answer: Botox & Assymetry
It is hard to say exactly what is going on without seeing you but too much Botox in the forehead can give patients a heavy forehead feeling. The uneven arch can be fixed by placing Botox in the lateral corner of the eyebrow in order to give it an arch and make it look more symmetric. Either way, please go back and see your physcian again. The good thing is that Botox is temporary and the result should go away within 3 to 4 months.
