Botox Gave Me Angry Brows, Can this be Adjusted?

 


Indeed, Botox can be used to adjust the outcome that you described. However this really depends on the implementation of proper technique. Additional injections in the lateral area should relax the muscles that are tugging the outer ends of your brows and making them higher than you would like them to be. If you choose to have this result corrected, the initial dosage should be conservative. Higher amounts can then be administered incrementally.Your other option, of course, is to let the Botox wear off. 

Unfortunately the Spock eyebrow isn't fixed by raising the middle because an attempt at placing Botox at the mid eyebrow in its plane to lessen the lowering effect would risk the Botox spreading below the area and affect the levator muscle of the upper eyelid thereby weakening it and causing an eyelid droop. This can last for more than three months. The Spock eyebrow is adjusted by lowering the outer forehead that is elevated and is elevated by an unopposed contraction of the outer frontalis muscle which is compensating for the middle frontalis that can't move.

The quick answer is that the "Spock" appearance that you have as a result of your Botox injections can be easily rectified by having additional injections placed more laterally ( further to the sides ) over each eyebrow.  This will weaken that portion of the frontalis muscle which is aggressively elevating the outside of your brow. It may be possible to create more elevation of the inside of your eyebrows but this may be a more difficult task after your original injections have been completed.  Your doctor or nurse injector should take special note of this particular outcome so that the next time you have Botox injections, they will be more aware of how you respond, and be better equipped to avoid this problem in the future.
