Permanent bumps and lumps on my forehead after botox (Photo)

Question

I have been having botox for over 20 years every 4- 6 months. About a year ago i have noticed prominent bump on the left side of my forehead (im asssuming its my muscles still trying to work). I have waited longer than usual before having botox there in hope that it should help, however after having my injections again (4 month ago) i have noticed more bumps and my forehead never looked more uneven which is very upsettting. Would anyone have any suggestions what could be done here to fix it?

Botox results last up to 3 to 4 months and can be softened with Venus Legacy and Thermage treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello!
If the pictures you sent are 2 weeks or more after your last botox treatment, it looks like you need more botox in the frown area. You may want to try telling your provider to add more botox to your Glabella muscle. It has to do with the technique of your injector and the units you are getting.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, I note irregular partial muscular function of your forehead musculature. You appear to be demonstrating effects of muscle atrophy occurring after 20 years of chemically induced paralysis. I would recommend cessation (temporary?) of botox administration for at least a year (or longer) to allow for muscle recovery, as function will usually return. Best wishes...
