Hello doctors, I had Botox injections for the 11 lines between the brows. After 10 days I am noticing that the glabella area skin looks looks thick and the inner brow lowered. I am wondering if additional Botox in an area would counter this undesirable effect? No Botox was injected in the central forehead other than a small amount very high on the outside of the forehead. Thanks.
Answer: Inner brows drop after botox Unfortunately, medial brow ptosis is a common occurrence with inexperienced botox injector. Medial brow ptosis or descent of the central brow can occur for several reasons: -Botox placed too low within the frontalis muscle along the forehead including central forehead. The frontalis muscle elevates the forehead and by decreasing activity here the central brow can drop -Botox placed too superficially along the corrugator. The botox will again impact the frontalis muscle and paradoxically lower the central brow. Botox is best injected by an experienced injector to lessen wrinkles while improving facial appearance.

Answer: You can get an improvement There are options to fix the issue you're experiencing and you should see your injector immediately to work out an action plan for this. Either way, the situation will begin to resolve itself as the Botox wears off.

Answer: Brow droop from Botox Done properly, there should be elevation of brows from Botox injections. By "properly," I mean that the proper amount of botulinum toxin units and proper place of injection was done. If either of those was done incorrectly, you can experience a brow droop.Too many injectors use a "cookie cutter" approach to Botox injections, and get untoward side effects in some of their patients. Experienced hands make all the difference. I can say those things because, as an Oculoplastics specialist, I have been injecting patients with Botox since 1992. Also note that many of the Botox injectors, if not most, today are NON-physicians. They learn a "cookie-cutter" technique for injecting Botox in a quick course, and do not customize the injection amounts and placements to the muscles in your face. It is sad, but true.

Answer: Mid Forehead drop after Botox I agree with most of the other doctors. Go back to your doctor or if he/she is not an expert injector who does this all the time, then visit someone who is to fix it.
