2 wks ago today I had 33 units of Botox injected in my forehead. This was primarily for horizontal lines; I THINK I've seen some results but definitely not to the extent it has worked in the past. Lines still present & my forehead has good "range of motion". I called the Drs office and am scheduled to return today. The nurse said I prob needed more; I get the feeling they were going to charge me. In the past, 30 units has worked great but this is a new Dr. How do I know they did it "right"?

It sounds like either a muscle was missed or you may need a stronger amount of Botox on that side. Please consult a board certified dermatologist who has a great deal of experience with Botox for the best results.
