How long after BOTOX should I regain some movement? 2 weeks post op.

kerry051079
I had BOTOX just over 2 weeks ago and I have no movement at all in my forehead. I'm not loving the fact that I can not lift my eyebrows as naturally I would do that a lot and the results have made my eyes look heavy and my eyebrows lower. I was wondering if it still takes the full 3-4 months for this to ease up a bit or will I start to see some improvement sooner? Also i have a constant dull headache...presumably from unconsciously straining to still lift my eyebrows as I would have usually?
