I would wait two weeks before assessing results, then return to your injector to talk about an alternative treatment. Filler could work if your 11s are permanently etched in your skin.
If you have very deep 11 lines in your glabella, then it can take a few cycles (12 to 18 months) of Botox treatment for the 11 lines to soften or clear. I usually recommend to my patients to be patient as their glabellar muscles weaken with the continued Botox treatment. For more impatient patients, resolution of the 11 lines can be hastened with a number of skin resurfacing or skin care product options in our practice. I do not typically recommend filler to the gabella because it can cause imbalances in glabella appearance.
I would not recommend filler for the glabella, as injecting filler in this area can be dangerous. Follow up with a board certified physician who is experienced performing Botox injections for the glabella. A plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or dermatologist are each a great choice. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
I would recommend treatment of the glabellar muscle group between the eyebrows with adequate dosing and then following up with your injector a couple of weeks later - dermal fillers could be placed at that time to further soften the 11-lines. Make sure you discuss the risks of filler injections in this particular area with your injector.
The best treatment for frown lines, glabellar lines or 11's is Botox to relax the muscles that create these lines. However, for some patients, some lines or dents persist. Superfical lines may be from the outer dead layer of skin being creased by the active mucsles. As the skin turns over (about 6 weeks), these lines improve. For those who still ahve dents, a little filler such as Juvederm or Restyane can help.
