From your picture it appears as though you had your central brow treated but not the outer aspects of your brow. The botox is not creating wrinkles but rather is not present there, so your frontal muscle is still making the wrinkles because it wasn't treated. This is an easy fix, a conservative treatment with more Botox where the wrinkles are will soften them and give your brow a more balanced look.
No need to worry. I have been injecting Botox for aesthetic reasons since 1991, and the kinds of wrinkles over your eyebrows that you show in the photo occasionally occur when an injector, usually an inexperienced, novice injector, does not place the Botox in a balanced way and inadvertently gives the competitive edge to the opposing muscles. Fortunately, this is easy to treat. A microdroplet or two of additional Botox on each side placed in the appropriate locations will help to soften the wrinkles that disturb you. Having said that, you should also know that, in order to prevent a sagging brow, Botox is not injected in the 3/4 inch to one inch region immediately above the brows, meaning that any etched wrinkles in that region are best addressed with fillers. Going forward, make sure you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician and ask to see his/her before and after photos. Best of luck, and not to worry.
You are not a candidate for botox here as it will drop your eyebrow. If you get excessive wrinkles even with botox you need lasers and skin tightening procedures to help. Best, Dr. Emer.
Thank you foryour question Myzoba. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Botox isa purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. It is important to clarify what forehead means because there are two groups of muscles in this area. The glabella is between the brows and is responsible for pulling the brows down when one frowns. The frontalis is a broad muscle that lies across the upper forehead and is responsible for raising the brows. Some people have the glabella treated and say the forehead was treated. If this is the case, then the glabella muscles are relaxed and the frontalis acts unopposed and wrinkles may be seen above the brows. This is more common on the outer forehead because treatment of the glabella often relaxes the middle portion on the frontalis. Treatment to the lateral frontalis can correct such concerns. I normally treat both areas to avoid such issues. Please consult witha doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
I agree that it appears the lateral forehead was not properly treated. It may be that they either hoped it would "take" or that an insufficient amount was used. If the problem persists more than 2 weeks after injection I would have them take another look and possibly treat the unaffected area with more Botox.
