Hello, three weeks ago I had Botox in my forehead causing my brows to drop and hooding to worsen. I hate it and am wondering if my forehead/brows will begin to rise slowly now that I am the three weeks mark, or if I have to wait a few more months to see any improvment (c. 20 units injected). Thanks!

Answer: Will brows start to regain movement after Botox after 3 months or does it slowly happen beginning at 2 weeks?
Botox is a good solution to the frown lines and bunny lines you are talking about. The Botox will most likely not stop all muscle movement but will take care of the majority of it. Good luck!
Treating the forehead completely will relax the muscles, allowing the forehead to be less "tense" therefore slightly elongated. If botox is put too low or too deep in the lower Crow's feet the muscle affecting your smile can be relaxed, so your smile can be dimished. These effects will go away...
I would not think that wearing eyelid tape for a months or so would cause any increased laxity or hooding of your eyelid down the road. Once the Botox wears off, everything should return to how it was before the treatment.
