Thank you for your question. Botox in the temporalis muscle area is usually not injected for cosmetic reasons. Hollowing of the temples is usually due to volume loss and fillers such as Sculptra can be used to fill it in. I would recommend being treated under the supervision of a Board...
If people are prone to bruising or if we see a tiny bruise forming after injection, we will put ice on it, with light pressure, after Botox. There's no problem with icing right after and it doesn't jeopardize the effectiveness of the Botox.
Injections where yours were intended would raise brows. It is possible that your Botox is not fully functional so give it some more time. It is possible that forehead injection soul\d have lowered a brow but probably less likely. Be patient and see your doctor if not happy
