It's a week after my Botox, and I feel I am scowling all of the time as if I can't relax. Can this be fixed? (Photo)

Asked By:Peaceful429 in Asbury Park, NJ

It's been a week since my botox injections (22 units in 11's, 8 units in forehead). My inner brows feel very heavy and I have the feeling of constant scowling (though the 11's have improved and no wrinkles on forehead). I am constantly trying to raise them to alleviate the feeling, but then my outside brows arch abnormally. I feel the inner eyes are more hooded than ever with an odd pull and more loose skin. Do I just need to wait this out or can something be done to help with this?
