I've been getting botox for a year. The last 3 times i noticed wrinkles appear above the outer edge of both eyebrows. Spocking. This came on gradually. My injector never addressed or corrected it. It's been 6 months now with these deep wrinkkes. Is this permanent? Will it go away if botox is stopped? Or do i need to have this fixed with botox forever??
Answer: Botox Hi @ubby. Spock brow can be easily corrected. Your injector can address this issue by adding 2 units of additional botulinum to the frontalis muscle just above the highest point of the brow arch.

Answer: "Botox/Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau -- side effects, heavy forehead, excessive eye brow lifting/spock brow, ptosis, droopy eyelids " I suggest following up with your physician. If you have existing ptosis, neuromodulators (such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau) could potentially worsen your condition. Regardless, the effects of these products will diminish in 6 to 12 months, so it should all resolve in time. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Spock brow Hello, a high-arched brow, or "Spock brow" after Botox is usually due to the stronger, non-injected outer (lateral) portion of your forehead (frontalis) muscle becoming "over-active" compared to the weaker Botox injected inner (medial) portion of your forehead (frontalis) muscle. This can usually be corrected by injecting Botox on the outer/lateral portion of that forehead muscle. This should improve the eyebrow arching and the wrinkles. Alternatively, waiting long enough for the botox to go fully away should re-balance the forehead muscles.

Answer: Spock brow after Botox Regarding "Spock brow" with botox: This is caused from the differential placement of botox more centrally on the forehead and leaving the lateral brow and frontalis muscle untreated. There are standard techniques to minimize this issue. Residual forehead lines out laterally after a series of injections may be residual static lines from your prior botox use that may take a long time to settle. However, more commonly there is some brow droop (brow ptosis) out laterally that has developed naturally over time and is now accentuated from your botox use. Lateral brow droop is common as we age and the reason that patients consider brow lifting surgery such as a minimally invasive endoscopic forehead lift by your oculofacial or facial plastic surgeon. A full evaluation with your surgeon would help to determine the aspects contributing to your situation.
