Asked By:155151anon in Los Angeles, CA

so I had a minor eyebrow/forehead drop after some injections of Botox in my forehead about a week ago.. My forehead is extremely relaxed (unable to move it), but at the same time, I feel this dull ache behind the head(occiptalis?), occured at the same time as the forehead drop..when the effects of the Botox wear off, can I expect both to go away?
