Help! I had a total of 80 units (more than I have ever had) of Botox and barely any difference.

Asked By:Brandy girl in Millburn, NJ

Recently I had 40 units of Botox put into my forehead by a new doctor. After 10 days no difference. I went back to him and showed my forehead. He suggested that I have another 40 units injected. Most I have ever had was 50 and I've been doing this for 15 years. The second 40 units didn't make a difference either and I was charged for those as well. My question is, I don't know what to say to this doctor or the question I should ask. Any suggestions on how to approach?
