Male Wanting A Botox Browlift- 4 Days and No Results (photo)

Despite the photo, it does not demonstrate before/after results in order for this to be a tool in providing feedback.  However, receiving only 5 units total is considered, in our opinion, under dosing.   Typically, we inject 5 units EACH side of the tail of the eybrow in addition to 20 units (average) between the eyebrows to obtain an inner and outer brow lift of the brows. 

A common misunderstanding is that a 'brow lift" involves dosing the forehead.  On the contrary, a brow lift is achieved by treating the muscle around the eyes as well as the frown muscles between the eyebrows.

The below link demonstrates this technique.

 

 

Botox is great for lifting the eyebrows and many of my patients love the end results. It may be that you were under dosed and might not see a difference. I usually recommend 10-15 units to see full correction, male patients may require more due to how strong their muscle movement is. Wait 6-10 days to see your final result and go back to see your physician. 

Best regards, 

Maximum effect may take up to ten days when using Botox. However, depending upon the reconstitution ration, 5 units may not be enough. Most offices offer a 'touch up' service at a discounted price. I recommend contacting the office you were treated at for further recommendation.

I would advise you to lower your expectations.  You received a very small dose of BOTOX.  I do not think your injecting physician knows what they are doing.  You might try a different injector.  Also look at my website to learn about the microdroplet BOTOX forehead lift.

Thanks for posting a picture.  It would be better to see a before picture as well.  When you are discussing Botox, it is also important to see pictures when you are animating your brows (lifting and lowering) to see the muscle effect.  That said, 5 units of Botox is a drop in the bucket.  I am not sure what you discussed with your injector, so it is difficult to comment specifically.  Also, you may want to consider other treatments as well.  In my opinion to get the best non-invasive brow lift, you need a combination of Botox to relax the depressor muscles and Juvederm injected under the brow to help lift and fill the skin.    I hope this is helpful.

 

Good Luck.
