got some Botox in the 11 lines that didn't really take, so did a touch up a few weeks later and put a small amount in the forehead. Three days after touch up I woke up with a large triangular dent in my forehead. Waited 3 months for it to subside, went to a highly recommended injector who put a small amount of Botox throughout my forehead.
