Had Botox 4 days ago and my forehead is already almost completely frozen with a slight pressure. Is this normal? (photos)

Most patients start noticing a relaxation of their facial wrinkles after a few days. Some patient will notice the effect sooner and some may notice the effect later. There is variability between Botox and Dysport too. Pressure sensation in normal too with any treatment. If you feel that you've received too much, then advise your Botox injector to possibly use less Botox or treat differently the next time.Best,Dr. Chaboki

Although
BOTOX® and Dysport® are very similar, there are some formulation variances
between the two products that are different enough to cause your body to react
in slightly different ways. This can be particularly true if you switch from one
product to the other, as your body may respond more quickly to the unrecognized
injectable. BOTOX® can cause some sensation changes, though these may dissipate
over time. In general, though, I would say that your results look very nice, so
I wouldn’t worry too much about how quickly your results became visible. Just
enjoy your new look!

It looks like you are on the path to getting an excellent result!  While Botox starts kicking in around day 2, it typically doesn't reach its max benefit until around day 14.  This is highly variable amongst patients -- some say they have full effect much earlier.  Don't try to evaluate the results of your injections too soon -- wait the two weeks and then assess.  If you feel you have too little movement, then ask your injector to use less next time.  The pressure sensation is completely normal and it will subside with time.  I wish you well!

People respond at different times to Botox some with in 2-3 days and some take a full 2 weeks. Some people have used a series of myofacials in attempts to decrease effects of Botox. You will have to wait until the Botox metabolizes at 3-6 months as there is no treatment for reversal. Advise the injector to use less Botox at your next treatment if you are unhappy with results.

While on average Botox takes several days to start working and 2 weeks for the full effect,everyone is different. Some of my patients will notice a complete relaxation with in 24-48 hours. Although not reversible, advise your injector for future session if you think it is too much. From the images it looks like you are getting an excellent result.

I usually tell my patients to expect onset of muscle paralysis in 5-7 days after Botox injection and 3-5 days for Dysport. That being said, it is not unusual for this to happen sooner. In my experience, many patients who have Botox or Dysport injections describe feeling pressure or discomfort with the onset of paralysis, especially if this is your first time having these treatments. This can be quite anxiety-provoking. But, rest assure knowing that most patients "get used to" the feeling of the muscle paralysis and this does not trouble them long-term. I'd be curious to know how you are feeling over the next week or so. Consider posting more about your experience in a week or so. I hope this is helpful. Good luck!

It can take Botox 3-5 days to take effect but can take
up to 2 weeks. It’s not uncommon to feel “tight” or “pressure” in the first few
days after injections, this should resolve. The dosage seem to be an
appropriate amount based on your muscular movement.

Botox and Dysport vary in strength, Dysport usually
requires 3 times as much to be equivalent to Botox. Even though you had “more”
units of Dysport in the past it is less than the amount of Botox you recently
had injected. Which might be why you feel more “frozen”.

The concept of looking frozen or over frozen however, varies
from person to person. Some people want absolutely no movement, while others
don’t mind a few lines. It is important to discuss your expectations with your
Board Certified Dermatologist at time of consultation to ensure the end result
is what you are looking for.For more information on Botox click link below:

The end result as seen in the prctures you have provided from Botox and Dysport are quite good. You can continue with either in the future and even 'shoot for' less units. 

Appears as an EXCELLENT BOTOX injection session.. I am not sure why all the concern? Plus a bit unusual ALL the pre and post photos for these injections. Is this your idea of accuracy for these injections or what? 

The extent of the paralytic response is directly related to the dose of the neuromodulator injected. Botox is 2.5-3 x more potent than Dysport. You may have been treated with a higher potency of the toxin recently and that is why you have a faster and more dramatic response than your first treatment with Dysport. This is completely expected and it is the reason why you had a treatment. Its important as much as possible to stay with the same product and especially the same doctor so that your response and expectations can be recorded and titrated with each treatment leading to replicable results with subsequent treatments. If you jump from special to special and from doctor to doctor, you will risk inconsistent results with treatments. Its not enough that the doctor be experienced in the technique, it is also important that they develop experience treating you as a unique individual. What you are experiencing is normal and there is nothing you can do to alter the course of the Botox until it wears off in 3-6 months.
