I had botox injections previously by an RN with amazing results. I went to a dermatologist this time who was cheaper and did not think there would be repercussions. When she administered the botox it was actually quite painful unlike my previous experience. My eyebrows are now flat and not proportionate. When I try to lift them both evenly, I get the result in the 2nd picture. I would like to get a refund but I am not sure that is possible. 3rd photo is how eyebrows normally look.

Answer: Botox Dear kbellxo21,Botox is generally an on off switch for muscle activity. I get a fair amount of actors/actresses in my practice that are looking to reduce wrinkles but keep some expression. Most of patients see first changes after 4-7 days and the final results after 10-14 days. Finding an experienced physician injector is your best bet. Regarding the refund, it would be the best to check it with your injector.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Talk to your previous injector about the possibility of fixing your brows. So sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience with BOTOX®. It does appear that the injections were placed too close to your eyebrows, which is causing the sagging effect you’re seeing. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that you’ll get a full refund for your injections, but it may be worth contacting your dermatologist and at least letting them know you’re unhappy with your results. As for fixing the problem, you do have to be careful about adding more BOTOX® to the area, as you don’t want to worsen the problem. I would suggest making an appointment with your previous injector or another board-certified plastic surgeon to see if there’s anything they may be able to do to help. Otherwise, you may have to wait for the BOTOX® to dissolve.
