Botox when muscle is protruding? (Photo)

Question

I have a muscle protruding on forehead very Bad and I am nervous that the Botox will make it worse. I have had Botox twice but I don’t really remember if it was this bad then, the last time was over and year and half ago. Maybe the Botox caused this muscle issue? I have been told it will just worse over time but I don’t want the Botox to make it worse. I am extremely self concious and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Botox can be used to help improve the appearance of the protruding muscle.  The treatment is done in the office with final results seen after two weeks.  See an expert injector for your treatment and be sure to discuss the concerns you have.

On this photo it appears that a portion of corrugator muscle is forming a visible band. If that is the case a small amount of Botox injected in the band should take care of deformity for some time. Only on the basis of in person evaluation one could give you more accurate answer. Good luck.
