Each time I get botox for My forehead and 11's i always get half moon deep wrinkle lines above each eye brow in the mornings that are centered on my forehead that end up staying the most of the day? I have asked why this is happening and they just keep calling it the spock. But I do not want the spock! I am currently getting 22 units in my 11's and in my forehead 11 units. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
