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:

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: 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.

Answer: Botox and Eyebrow Drooping (Ptosis) Botox injections to the forehead (11 lines, or the horizontal forehead lines) can cause the brows to either droop, or become over elevated. It is the interaction with the frontalis muscle (elevator) and the procerus/corrugators (depressors) muscles. The ideal result may be different for different patients. Most want to elevate the outer part of the brow. If you have brow droop (ptosis), then the injections may have been done too close to the brow, or have diffused to affect the brow level. If you have "Spock Brow" then 1-2 units placed above the upper area of the brow can fix this. If you have too much droop in general, there isn't much that can be done to fix it other than wait it out. The effects of the botox will decrease over time. Since it is not permanent, drooping will always get better. I do recommend that you call or see your doctor to discuss options and outcomes. That way they can adjust the injections for you in the future.
