Muscle above eyebrow not smoothing out from Botox - do I need more? (Photos)

I am a 35 year old female who has been getting Botox (or xeomin) for 6 years. In the last year I’ve noticed that the muscle above my eyebrows doesn’t seem to be relaxing as it should. I’d like the areas above my brows to be nice and smooth, instead the muscle is lumpy and it makes me look angry. I don’t know if this is happening because the muscle is very strong and I need more units to make it relax or if the botox has been places in the wrong areas. Any guidance would be appreciated!!

Relax. The kinds of folds and shadowing that are seen in the photos are very common complaints. The ones around the nose are called smile lines and those at the corners of the mouth marionette lines. Both can be addressed with the use of HA fillers. In the hands of an experienced, board...
