I woke up with an indentation in my forehead - could this be from Botox wearing off? (photos)

Question

I thought I had slept funny, but it's been 5 hours, and it hasn't changed. I had botox about 3 months ago, but I never had any indentations on my forehead before getting botox. Could the botox wearing off be causing this? Thanks!

Hello @lasandiego I understand your concern, however the effect of botox is not instantaneous. The effect is progressive, that means when you have botox it will not have a blocking effect the instant the you had it applied or the next day, you start seeing the effects 3 days after the application and the same thing happens when the botox is wearing off. Botox is a miraculous substance, the secret is in the application technique. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and recommendations. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Hello and thank you for your question. It is always best to see you face to face for a consult and examination however in this case it could be muscles changes with botox wearing off- if this is the case it will disappear quickly. Ideally you need to be seen in person to assess for what your forehead looks like on movement. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes
