4 days post op of Botox, I see no change. Is this normal?

June 8, 2014
Asked By:scorpiowolf

I am on Day 4 with my Botox injections. I had 26 units injected around the forehead and frown lines by a new dermatologist. Just wondering why I see no effect at all when I used to get the same amount of units from 2 other doctors and would see effects by Day 3, when now I see no difference at all. I have a feeling the new doctor was not honest about the units used, or may have not used standard dilution. Is that possible?
