I've had forehead botox many times, and the result is always the same: within 3 days, everything freezes except the outer brows, giving me Jack Nicholson brows when I lift them. But when not lifting, my brows look great. After 7 days I've always gone back to correct it, but then I'm left with a slightly lower brow overall. Is it a normal part of the process for the outer brows to freeze last? Im wondering if I should just wait longer this time instead of getting the touch up.

Answer: Botox effect on brows A few thoughts: All the muscles should "freeze" at the same time, it is not that one is delayedThe injection should likely be more lateral for you on the forehead to get the area over the lateral browIf you over inject the lateral, or medial forehead you will see the brow drop overall since the frontalis muscle is the only brow elevatorAlso, to counteract the lowering of the brow, especially laterally, an injection into the orbicularis oculi muscle should be considered. Good luck!

Answer: Botox and lateral brow->Jack Nicholson "Joker" Brow Thank you for your questions. Botox kicks in after about 7 -10 days and lasts ~3months. Adjustment in the doses and placement should be able to get you the best result with just the right amount of brow elevation. Hope this helps. Sincerely,Dr Benjamin J.
