Can I still move my forehead after Botox?

You can keep yourself looking young and also maintain your ability to express yourself in your roles if you receive Botox from an expert. Botox is only supposed to relax the muscles, not freeze them.  I hope this helps.

Patients ofter think that they have to choose between looking old or looking frozen, but this is only a misconception due to poor results. 
Botox is a great tool in cosmetic medicine that can give you a fresher look and still maintain movement. Natural botox results are achieved through a combination of amount of units injected, injection spots and depth of injection. 

When Botox is expertly administered, it will quiet the dynamic muscles that cause wrinkles, preventing them from creasing the skin. However, the muscles should still be able to move so that you have natural-looking expressions. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has experience creating natural-looking rejuvenations with Botox. 

Botox can be dosed in a variable way to retain movement while smoothing lines. Sometimes, there is a trade off between elimintating lines and keeping more movement. This makes sense, since these lines are the RESULT of muscle movement. Most patients can be appropriately dosed at the first visit. Patients looking for a more subtle result may have an initial treatment and then a touch up 2 weeks later. After their personal dosing is determined, it can be done in a single treatment moving forward.

It is possible to attain the more natural look with botox with some movement and to avoid the frozen look. I would go to a board certified plastic surgeon or registered nurse working under one to achieve your results, just let them know in the consultation

Yes, but this is entirely injector and dose dependent. If you're OVER treated your forehead will be paralyzed and expressionless and in the worst case you could develop a brow droop. With a conservative injection approach you can reduce the lines on your forehead without eliminating expression or causing eyebrow droop. Best.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Hello,Thanks for your question. BOTOX Cosmetic does not have to freeze your photo. See a qualified injector and inform him/her of your concerns about retaining maximum movement in your forehead before being injected. A board-certified plastic surgeon can help you achieve your goal so that you can retain movement and expression.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  The goal of conservative botox treatment is to soften lines, while still allowing movement and facial expressions.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

The simple answer is absolutely, you can have Botox injected to soften your forehead lines while still retaining movement. It all depends on how much is injected. See an expert and explain your goals. A Board Certified injector should be able to help you achieve what you are looking for.

The proper placement of Botox will diminish the over active forehead muscles but allow motion and expression.  Placing tiny amount of Botox in multiple areas softens the lines of expression and smoothes the overlying skin without leaving you with a blank sheet of paper appearance.  Balance is the key not lack of total motion.  Find a plastic surgeon that can evaluate your face and will identify which side is overactive.  Only then can harmony be established.
