Can Use of Botox Cause Facial Expression to Change Once It Wears Off?

Roma73
For about 3 years I have been getting botox injections between the eyebrow about twice a year. Its been about 8 months since my last treatment and I have noticed (or rather other people have noticed) that the expression I make with my eyes has changed. I seem to make a wide eye expression (with wrinkling of entire forehead) quite often when I speak. I can only attribute this to the botox, as it is something new that I did not do before. Could it be an unintended consequence of the botox?
