Can proper use of Botox both reduce forehead wrinkles AND lift eyebrows?

March 21, 2016
Asked By:YRB888 in Los Angeles, CA

A few years ago I got botox to relax some forehead lines and it did a great job but family told me me eyebrows looked like they dropped down. Likely because I was using my forehead muscles to lift them, thus causing wrinkles. My girfriend at the time also got botox but her eyebrows lifted giving her a "model" look. What causes this difference and how should I explain this to the doctor performing the procedure?
