Botox between the brows causing a flat/wide look?

Question

Mt question is regarding the flat/wide look that I have seen in some women who get injections of Botox in the 11 area between the brows. I have noticed some of my friends looking this way after prolonged use of Botox and I was wondering if this was from too much or too many years of using Botox.

This is from poor injection technique that is not guided by anatomy but rather by a template taught in a class/course.  You should see someone who assesses your natural apperance and tailors their injections.  also, someone who uses conservative doses and not very high ones -- this gives a more natural result.  Best, Dr. Emer.

You can soften the frown area without a dramatic widening of the brows which is one of the telling signs that someone has had Botox.  It requires a detailed understanding of the muscular anatomy and know which portion of the corrugator muscles to inject to get the softening of the frown lines without as much widening of the brows.

The flattening and broadening of the brow is due to the placement of the Botox. You need just the right amount of Botox in the exact place. Sometimes less Botox  is better.it is important to go to a very experienced injector

The art of Botox is in the injection technique.  Flattened wide brows may result from too much product being injected.  Just the right amount of product is needed in just the right places.  Less is often more.
