Last March 2013 while getting Botox to forehead region, the dr hit a nerve right next to my right eyebrow. The photos depict 3 indentations on my forehead that formed after the Botox wore off. I still have numbness where forehead meets scalp at center part. These big "dimples" are very apparent 24/7 and embarrassing. What is going on with these dents and will they go away? I can live with the loss of feeling but not the dents. Any suggestions?
