Could Botox side effect be creating forehead dent and creases? (Photos)

Asked By:plasticsurgery88 in Chicago, IL

I have been using botox on my frown lines, or 11's, and for an eyebrow lift for the past 3 years, at around 25 units each time. Recently I have noticed, this middle of forehead dent as seen in the picture, and under certain lighting. Could this be due to other muscles compensating or muscle atrophy or something else altogether? What's the best remedy for this?
