Asked By:9032anon in ny

A few weeks after receiving botox injections in my forhead, I noticed an indent starting from my left eyebrow up towards the hairline. My doctor said that botox did not cause it. I am a little worried. Is anyone farmiliar with this? Will it go back to normal when the botox wears off? Thanks.
