My forehead seems to be reacting to the botox in the middle but nothing is happening on the top or bottom. Should it be happening at the same time? Will the lines dissapear?
Answer: Botox for forehead lines requires advanced injection skills I think its too soon to determine whether or note you will need additional Botox to smooth out the upper and lower forehead lines. Additional photos would be beneficial after 10 days post treatment including visualization of your eyes and brow position both at rest and with animation. In addition, frowning photos would be needed. There are potential pitfalls and errrors made by novice injectors.1. Too much Botox injected in a small area vs. small amounts spread out. This can cause the brows to drop and create eye lid heaviness. Injecting too little on the sides can cause the Spock look with over arched brows. Too much on the sides will cause them to drop. Its a fine balancing act. 2. Failure to inject the brow depressor muscles causing the 11 lines. From your photos, I suspect the lower forehead lines were caused by a failure to inject the procerus and corrugator muscles as some of the Botox often diffuses upward smoothing out the lower forhead lines. Without a frown photo this cant be determined. 3. Failure to use combinate therapy. Most patients with etched in static lines will also require HA filler injections. This is a higher risk area and can cause skin necrosis and should therefore be only performed by a highly skilled and experienced injector. Please resend photos after 10 days

Answer: Someone needs to spend more time educating you about what to expect from these services. The really question that needs to be addressed is why are you activation the forehead muscle so much. Botox treatment should not be about freezing the forehead. Study my Microdroplet Lift video attached below. If describes how to make a treatment work with the facial muscles to get a fabulous result.

Answer: Day 4 of forehead Botox and it is having uneven effects, will the lines disappear? Hello Check!Your lines are going away and it's only been 4 days. The full effect will occur at two weeks and you should follow up with your injector at this point. It's possible not all your lines will go away, but you can have a touch up with your injector.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)

Answer: Slow and Steady Although you are starting to see some results from your Botox, I recommend that patients wait a full 7-10 days to know what their complete result will be. If it a patient's first time getting Botox, I usually inject a smaller amount to see if I can achieve an ideal result. If they need more, I'd much rather them come back and get the natural look they desire, as opplsed to giving more product and having a result that is too dramatic or that they are unhappy with.

Answer: May Take a Few Weeks In most patients, it takes about two weeks for full effects to take place. I would recommend waiting two weeks, and if the results are still uneven, to contact your injector for further evaluation. You may require a touch-up session for desired results. Hope this helps! In good health, Dr. Andre Berger
