My eyebrows are slightly lower and it looks like I'm frowning when I'm relaxed. I've also noticed a v shaped lump on my forehead just above the area people get 11's when I raise my eyebrows.. it feels like its muscular, not infection or something. I've been told it can take 2 weeks for it to settle. I'm disappointed with the results so far. Do you think these areas will improve?

Answer: I have lumpiness and brow droop from botox.
Unfortunately, there is not much to do about the brow droop until the botox wears off. However, with your next treatment it can be tailored to help elevate the brows. Be sure to pick a reputable injector with experience. The lump in your forhead is hard to know without seeing it. Maybe a small bruise or perhaps you need slightly more botox in that area to soften it. Don't give up on botox. Most people are thrilled with the results and the long term improvements are fantastic. Try another provider if you weren't happy. Sometimes it's just bad luck with the first injection.

Answer: Unhappy with Botox result so far
Your eyebrows will not raise at this point, and they may even become a bit lower, which is unfortunate. The V-shape you are referring to happens when the glabella muscle needs a bit more Botox and it happens because the muscle portion above and below it are stopped, but that portion tries to still move and pull down, which creates an odd V in the middle of the forehead. A few extra units here will stop that from happening. But the brows being lowered is just going to take time to resolve. And you need to tell your injector this happened so they can go a bit higher next time with the injections.
