Bulging eyebrow/eyelid muscle when I smile, any suggestions?

Hello, thank you for your question. Botox would not help you with your concern. I recommend you to schedule an email or Skype consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

In the thousands of patients who I have injected with Botox over my many years in practice, I don't know of anyone, in particular, who developed anxiety attributed to the Botox injection.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, there is nothing to do to speed up Botox wearing off. It can take anywhere from 3-4 months to go back to normal.
