My PCP told me I should get Botox for my migraines since the past treatments we tried haven’t worked and I already have the authorization from my insurance. I’m 22 and I have a very, very deep wrinkle between my eyebrows and it is now permanently furrowed even with no movement, so it looks like I’m always angry. Will the Botox procedure for the migraine fix that area automatically or will I need to go get cosmetic Botox afterwards? It’s only on the left side between my eyebrows.
