Should I be able to lift brows post Botox for several years? (Photo)

Question

I’ve had Botox for several years for migraines. Lately, I notice I can lift my brows and the middle of my forehead skin is all “loose and wrinkly”. Is this normal after all these years or should I find someone else?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Botox is a neuromodulator that will soften the ability of the injected muscle to contract.  The muscles not injected will still be able to animate.  I encourage you to discuss your results with your injector.

If Botox is not an option for you, Dysport or Xeomin are the next options. I suggest dermarolling at home to give the skin Botox-like effects with at-home treatment. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Either you need higher units dose of Botox in midline forehead or you are resistant to the Botox. Try a different neuro-modulator - ie Dysport, Xeomin, the newest one from Evolus.
