Brows ache after Botox. Is that normal? (Photo)

You don’t say how long ago your injections were, but in general pain and a loss of your natural “arch” is not unusual. The pain should leave in a few days, but the arch may take a few months to come back.

The tenderness can be typical and will resolve. Botox results gradually resolve in 3-4 months and then your arch will go back to normal. In the mean time, venus legacy treatments can give improvement. Best, Dr. Emer

The brow arching will resolve in a month or so. It can take up to 3 to 4 month to resolve in some cases. The brow aching is usually not reported as a side effect of Botox injection, although theoretically it can happen.

Some tenderness can be typical and it can take up to 2 weeks for final results. If you're unhappy with your final results, Botox results gradually resolve over 3-4 months. You will regain your eyebrow arch as results resolve. Hope this helps.

Dear chrissa2009,Your brows can drop if your forehead was overinjected or too close to your eyebrows. There is a nerve at the medial eyebrow that irritated (from a deep injection - not indicated) can produce an achy, bruised feeling. These symptoms should get better over time.I would not let one bad experience discourage you from Botox. Make sure you are going to a qualified injector, such as a board certified plastic surgeon. An intimate knowledge and experience of facial anatomy is necessary to get the best results with Botox and to have a pleasant experience. Good luck.Nirmal R.
