Botox has left me with Ronald McDonald eyebrows and a "bat face" look. I can't even... I know that it's going to wear off- that 3 months is the mark. But if someone can give me some hope that the intensity of both the eyebrows and the "bat face" will subside sooner? If botox fades in three months, it's gradual yes? Also, I had my forehead, bunny lines, crows feet done. Is there any one area that causes the bat face?

Answer: Bat Face after Botox
The corragator muscle is interwoven with the frontalis muscle. The corragator muscle creates the vertical glabellar creases and this muscle is a depressor of the inner aspect of the brow so this muscle will cause an elevation of the medial brow. If the injection is performed too high or if the Botox spreads superiorly then the frontalis muscle can be effected and this causes the brow to drop. Conversely if the central brow is injected and no botox is used laterally then you get a metaphisto or devil's brow. A touch up mini doses of botox lateral to the mid pupil line will help relieve your problem.

Answer: Botox and raised eyebrows
Your "bat face" was caused by the placement and perhaps the amount of the Botox used. It is simple to lower the middle eyebrow by injecting a tiny amount of Botox above the area. You should return to your injector so he can adjust your Botox. If he does not know how to do this, you should see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can help you. You do not have to wait for 3 months for the effect to wear off.
