Big deep vertical line caused by Botox for horizontal line in forehead. (Photo)

It can take up to 4 months for Botox results to resolve, then your face will go back to normal. In the mean time, venus legacy treatments and well-placed Botox can help improve this. I recommend following up with your injector about your concerns. Best, Dr. Emer

At this point, your Botox results should be resolving. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months and once they resolve, your forehead will go back to normal. However, well-placed Botox can improve this area. Hope this helps.

Having weakened the forehead muscles you are likely now “recruiting” the brow muscles . This is best treated by additional Botox in proper location.

When the forehead muscle is injected there can be a recruitment of fascicles that are still working to cause this line and it can be treated with Botox to each side or with filler but it will eventually go away on its own

I do not know who told you the line comes from sleeping on your side but they were right. There is no muscle that can be accountable for this line nor the Botox itself. Buy a flat pillow and learn yourself to sleep on your back! Cheep and effective. 

Do you sleep on your side? As you look in the mirror, push the side of your face against your palm, as if the palm was your pillow. By doing this, I can often see the sleep lines on peoples faces that are etched in from sleeping. This really can happen from sleeping. If you aren't able to create that vertical line with facial expressions, and you sleep on your sides, it's quite possible that line is from sleeping. Botox won't help it if it is from sleeping on your side. You can, however, retrain yourself to sleep on your back (it's hard, but it's not impossible!), or invest in a specialized pillow (Save My Face) that takes the weight off of your face, thus less likely to get sleep lines. It might be worth giving it a try. Best of luck! 

Hi adriannaw123, You seem to have a condition called linear scleroderma where where the soft tissue thins out, leaving you with a vertical groove. This usually does not appear until early adulthood.This is not due to the effects of Botox. In fact, Botox should be used to address hyperactive muscles (ones you use for scowling). The treatment should involve replacement of the soft tissue so choose a doctor who can inject fillers or perform injections. The filler effects are immediately visible but the fat transfer may take longer and may need to be repeated.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
