Very Little Change After Botox on Forehead

May 8, 2009
Asked By:AnnieF in UK

I'm 38, and 12 days ago, I had Botox on my horizontal forehead lines. I only see very little difference. Is this normal? Is it possible it will 'kick in' in the next 2 days? I did drink alcohol at a friend's party the night before the procedure and wondered would this have any impact on how it works? The physician also said that I would need an extra dose (which she applied) as the lines were already visible at rest--so I am especially disappointed that I can still see those lines!
