I normally get spock-eye results after Botox treatment. When I get a 'touch-up' to correct the spock eye, my eyelid sags so much I could hardly see. I tried another doctor and instead of more botox, they did a feathering kind of manipulation to the skin around my brow after injection. What is this method called?
Answer: Spock- Eye Fix Thank you for your question. There is not a specific name for the technique to are describing. Injectors can have different methods for injecting Botox, typically created through experience. Best,

Answer: Spock appearance following Botox injections Thank you for sharing your issues. When injected properly, Botox should not give the Spock appearance. I am not aware of a specific term for injecting Botox in the manner you describe. Always have experienced injectors perform your treatment.Good luck,

Answer: Avoiding Spock-Eye with Botox Spock-eye, or the McDonald's arches look, after botox is the result of too much botox in the central brow/lower forehead and not enough in the lateral/superior forehead. The superior forehead muscle contracts normally but the central forehead is too weak so the central brow droops and the lateral brow raises up. This creates the less-than-ideal, clown-like brow shape. So in order to avoid that it is important for the doctor to not be so heavy handed with botox medially and to use an appropriate amount in the appropriate position in the superior/lateral forehead. Every patient is a little different and the correct amount of botox depends on the strength of the muscles, the depth of the lines, the pre-treatment brow position, etc. The good thing is that the spock-eye can often be corrected with just a little more botox given in the forehead where the peaking occurs. Sometimes as small as 1/2 a unit makes all the difference. Make sure you discuss your desired brow shape with your doctor before treatment. Best of luck!

Answer: "Spocking" Hello, and thanks for your question. This is one of the trickier aspects of injecting Botox. Not enough Botox to the side of your forehead and you run the risk of "spocking." With too much, you run the risk of dropping your brow. To maximize the likelihood of a favorable outcome, I recommend that you only get treated by a well-trained and experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Hope this opinion is helpful to you. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.

Answer: Botox A small amount of Botox can be added in and around the muscle that is causing this contraction and raising of the brow. Usually this is in the outside aspect of the forehead.
