Why is my Forehead Region Still So Mobile After Botox Injection Post 9 Days?

November 3, 2011
Asked By:Jude in Illinois in Monticello, IL

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: Try to find out how many units were used, but depending on the extent of movement you have, you may require more Botox.
