Concerned about my static frown lines: I recently had 14 units of Botox in my frown lines. (Photo)

My ability to frown has significantly reduced however I can still frown. My static lines have not improved. I have been informed that multiple Botox injections will help and that fillers are not recommended. Should I stick to multiple Botox injections?
