18 units of upper forehead Botox 1.5 wks ago pushed my inner eyebrows down causing my eyes to look squinty w/ no eyelids.(photo)

The forehead is probably the most variably and poorly
treated region of the upper face with Botox. It is important to balance the
benefit of wrinkle improvement with relaxation of the only eyebrow elevator,
the frontalis muscle, and resulting eyebrow droop that will occur. Dosages exceeding
20 units in the forehead are rarely warranted, in my opinion, because the trade
of complete line effacement is not worth the side effect of noticeable brow droop.
The key to success in forehead treatment is modest dosing (enough to soften the
lines with minimal impact on eyebrow position). Fortunately, Botox is not
permanent and your eyebrow droop should improve with time. A helpful way to help
raise your brow is to inject botox into the corrugator muscles that pull the
inner brow down, and the orbicularis oculi muscle which pulls the outer brow
down. Prior to any intervention, however, a proper physical exam is necessary. I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of
luck.

Too much botox in the forehead can cause the brows to be lowered.  Although this is temporary, it can be distressing.  18 units is a very large dose for the forehead.  Potentially, you could get lift by injecting the in the glabellar complex to counteract the downward pressure of the forehead.  Seek out an expert injector.  If you are unhappy with results or having a complication, your physician should always be happy to see you and offer advice.  When in doubt always seek a second opinion.

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately too much Botox was injected into your forehead causing your brows to drop. There is not much you can do, except to give it time to wear off. I am sorry this happened to you. Hang in there. Don't be discouraged from trying Botox again. You need a smaller dose. 

It appears as if a little too much Botox was injected somewhat low which caused your eyebrows to move down.  It will wear off in a few weeks but there is nothing to do right now.  Please consult an experienced board certified dermatologist with years of experience with Botox and cosmetic injections.  Best, Dr. Green

Thank you for your question.  It appears as though you had quite a bit of Botox injected into your forehead.  Typically we use about half the amount of units you had injected as the frontalis muscle is a very thin muscle that does not require a lot of botox.  The options are to wait it out as the botox will be metabolized in a few months (there is no way to reverse botox - which is typically why it is better to go conservative and add more at a touchup, a week or two after the initial injection) or try to counteract the muscles that are being affected by injecting the glabellar complex which would include the glabella and depressor supercilii.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias
