Had 10 units Botox 12 days ago in my frontalis. May 15, had 14 units in glabella. Looked great. But the frontalis shots have made my eyes hooded & brow drop. Though I can make lines in mid brow if I try hard. I accepted it by day 9, not happily, but deal with it. By day 12 it's terrible. Inner lid swelling & drooping skin on brows. Looks like I have an eye allergy. When is this going to END? Should I retreat glabella? So little was treated there. Could that help? My god, 10 units did this to me?

muscles (also known as the Glabellar Complex) so that you are unable to make
the movements that are undesirable. It will also help to decrease your risk of

Unfortunately the effects of Botox are there to stay until your body can regenerate the nerve cell terminals where the nerve cell and muscles communicate. This takes about 3 months. Rest assured the effects of Botox will wear off with time.
