Ms Neanderthal after Botulintoxin overdose; is botox just not for me? (Photos)

September 13, 2016
Asked By:frenchdressing in Grand Junction, CO

Dear doctors, I'm 43 and wanted to do something for myself to help me age gracefully. I have given my doctor, (board-certified) several chances to 'get it right'. I requested treatment of crowsfeet and glabellar lines and a slight relaxation of forehead lines. However; everytime after I've been treated, I look like a Neanderthal with a low forehead and brows. Is it my facial anatomy that is the problem or my doctor?!! Is botox just not for me? Can anything be done to counteract this odd look?
