Tightness in forehead after Botox. When do you think this problem will settle?

Lubna77Nov 23, 2016
Hello , I had 20 units injected in my forehead and at 11 , since 2 weeks back . I felt heaviness which improved . I also had moderate tightness since that time which is becoming less by time ... But it comes in bouts when I can realy sense that one group of muscle is tight compared to others... And sometimes I feel that I am raising my eyebrows without intention and this will aggrevate the pressure ... I feel anxious because of that . When do you think this problem will settle ? Thank you

Hi Essani,  From your pictures it looks like your muscle has relaxed, as it should, with botox. The only problem is, the muscle is not the only thing causing the problems under the eye. You have lost a little fat in the fat pad that sits under your eye. Your muscle was pulling...
