Muscle Spasms After Botox Between Brows

May 11, 2009
Asked By:Taylor Made in Plano, Texas

I am 42 and had Botox injections 6 weeks ago to address the beginnings of "11" lines between my brows. The doctor injected 18 points in the areas from about mid-brow line on each side to a point just above the bridge of my nose, basically in a triangular pattern. About 2 weeks ago, I began to have involuntary muscle spasms just above either brow. If I rub my forehead, it will contract on its own too. Is the Botox wearing off this soon or does the doctor need to inject more areas? Is it possible to dilute the Botox in a manner that affects the longevity of the results?
