I had my first injection of Botox 9 days ago. Unfortunately I do not remember how many units were injected. He also did a few more injections along the top of my eyebrow, but none for crow's feet. I'm 52 but the glabellar lines are really my only lines at this point. Anyhow, at 9 days I think the lines may possibly appear a little flatter, but with my forehead completely relaxed they are definitely still there, and if I frown or squint my brow folds up just like it always has. Is this normal?

Answer: Glabella Lines Still There after Botox
Hi Jude. If your glabella (the 11 lines) fold up upon frowning or squinting then you did not get a good result. It would be great to know how many units were injected because it would be easier to tell if this is a technique issue or a dosage issue.
If an appropriate number of units was injected (20 for glabella) then your injector may have missed the mark and you may need to find a new one. If the area was underdosed then you should go back and find out how many units were used and see if it is just an issue of a bit more product.
Finally, for deep frown or furrow lines, a bit or Restylane or Juvederm may be required to fill the crease. This is in cases where Botox has taken full effect but the crease can still be seen.

Answer: Try to find out how many units were used, but depending on the extent of movement you have, you may require more Botox. Thank you for your question. Depending on the extent of movement you have, you may require more Botox. I recommend having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation. Best of Luck!
