I went to recommend doctors .. maybe my face just doesn’t do good with it ?
Answer: Peaked Eyebrows After Botox Sorry to hear that you have been dissatisfied with your Botox. Unfortunately, the eyebrow deformity that you describe is a common one caused by a "style" of injecting that has become largely passe. In the past, providers have been taught to inject Botox into the forehead and frown muscles just "between the pupils". This leaves only the portion of the forehead muscle lateral to the pupil to support the brow. The concentration of Botox in the middle of the forehead often results in the medial brow getting heavy, while the tail of the brow becomes elevated. This sinister look has been given many labels including Spock, Mephisto (Marvel Comic Character), Samurai, inquisitive brow, and others. Let your provider know that this is not a look that you desire. It can be easily fixed with a small dose adjustment. Today, most practitioners opt for a low dose treatment across the entire forehead or skip the forehead altogether in favor of elevating the brow more uniformly. Hope this helps and my best wishes.

Answer: The secret to natural-looking treatments In all likelihood, it is not your face; it is the technique! Sounds like you need a touch of botox to the lateral forehead (to relax the portion of the frontalis muscle that pulls up on the sides of your eyebrows). The keys to a successful injection are:1) go to a physician that is experienced in botox injections2) go back to them at two weeks so that you can assess the results and tweak as necessaryI always invite my new patients to come back at two weeks. That way, we can make sure that we are happy with the results.

Answer: Botox Made Me Look Like a Witch It sounds like you are describing a look that involves adding Botox to the middle of the forehead and not adding any Botox to the sides. This causes a "peaking" of the brows with a smooth middle portion of the forehead. More Botox can be added to the sides of soften the look, but will not allow the lateral (outer) portion of the brow to stay as high. I find that some patients like a peaked brow while others do not, and I always ask my patients about this prior to injections. Be sure to use an expert physician injector.All the best,

Answer: Natural results with Botox Thank you for your question. What your are describing is an effect that often occurs when Botox is injected into the middle portion of the forehead and the sides are left untouched. The result is "peaking" of the tail ends of the brows, and a flat mid section of the forehead. For some patients with lid laxity or very deep set eyes, it is possible that the injector chose to administer the Botox in this manner purposefully. This would be to ensure no further heaviness on the eyes, and the patient should be seen at 2 weeks to fine tune residual movement. A small amount of Botox at upper lateral portion of the forehead should settle the peaks and give you a much more natural look. Best of luck.

Answer: Botox It’s hard to fully assess what you dislike without pictures. My best guess is the Botox was injected only in the center of the forehead and not injected laterally. This results in a brow that doesn’t move in the middle,but only out laterally. If you add some out laterally it’ll look much better!
