Botox works by weakening the muscles that create dynamic wrinkles in your face. If you allow it to wear off, the wrinkles will come back. Botox is a treatment that needs to be maintained because as your muscles regain strength, they will cause the same wrinkles again. You could speak to your doctor about solutions for using Botox to weaken all the muscles which are contributing to the lines.

It is very difficult to accurately answer your question as I don't know exactly where on your forhead or glabella you were treated and how many units you were given.The Botox works by weakening the muscles that create dynamic wrinkles in the area that you were treated. If you allow it to wear off, the wrinkles will come back. This treatment with Botox or equivalent needs to be maintained because as your muscles regain strength, the wrinkles will return.. Perhaps additional Botox can be used  to weaken all the muscles which are contributing to your lines and I think you should ask your doctor what his opinion is.

Maybe you need to now consider a surgical intervention to improve the appearance of your face/eyelids???
