Botox in Forehead Not Working As Well As Other Areas

May 24, 2010
Asked By:3841anon in SC

I had botox injections in my crows feet, frown lines and forehead 5 days ago. My first time having injections. It appears to be working great on my crows feet and frown lines. But my forehead is not responding quite as well as I hoped. Is this normal since it's a larger area that is injected?
