Area where botox injected is white, is this normal?

Asked By:bobinhood in Iowa City, IA

I recently had a botox brow lift performed. Ironically, the day before I received the botox, I started highlighting my brow bone with a lighter eyeshadow. Now, that area is permanently "highlighted" or a white-ish color after the botox. Has this ever happened before to any other patients? It's not objectionable, but I'm curious why this happened.
