Can a doctor explain why my one eyebrow won't raise normally after botox? (Photos)

January 13, 2017
Asked By:veraline48 in New York, NY

I got botox in my forehead and gabella, but now, as you can see in the pic, the beginnkng part of my right eye brow isn't raising as much. The right brow muscle also seems more contracted/bulky to the touch even tho it can't actually squeeze it tight to frown. This has never happened when I only got my gabella region done. I'm wondering if the botox wasnt injected well and cause my right forehead muscle to not be able to pull up. Is there a way to fix/prevent this?
