I woke up this Monday with a dent in my forehead! I did have Botox about a month ago. I do also have a headache.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is unlikely due to your Botox treatment. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for providing the picture as a reference. Botox that was administered one month prior should not have caused a headache and dent in your forehead. You need to see your physician and find out the cause. Hope that helps and good luck.

Simple answer is NO.  While you can have some tenderness for about 24 hours following treatment with BOTOX, there is no way that pain or a dent at this point is related.  I would keep on eye on this and see your primary care doctor if it worsens.Hope that helps!Warmest regards,-Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Botox administered a month ago will not cause a dent in your forehead after one month of administration. Most complications are noticed within 1-2 weeks of injections. You should see a Physician for headaches and let them look and examine your skin as well.

Botox is great at softening forehead lines. A mild headache is a possible side effect after  injections, but not one month after nor indentation. I recommend following up with your injector. All the best. Dr.Michon
